As most of you may have noticed (actually, 26 out of 28 members and all the guests), the forums have a new look.  We installed 2 new themes to compliment DilberMC so that we have more variety for our members.

You now have the ability to make the forums look how you want.  To change your theme, go to Profile->Look and Layout Preferences -> Current Theme (change).

Your options are:

-DilberMC (with all of its color options so more like 8 themes in one)
-Black Rain (a dark theme and currently set as forum default)
-Orangeline (a bright theme for those of you who don't like the dark)

You also have the option for the SMF default if that is what you really want.

If you don't like any of these options and have a theme you would like to use, post a link to it here:  http://www.thehosthelpers.com/the-host-helpers-related/more-theme-choice-for-the-time-being-t197.0.html and if we like it enough we will add it.

I noticed you changed the default as well, I have to say, very nice, I like, actually the cross over the planet part could be used as the favicon, very nice



Here's an ico if it'll help, it'll work as a favicon I tested it

Dropbox is a great cloud solution, get 2.25G of space by CLICKING HERE, Rather than 2G otherwise. Sync files between multiple computers over the web and even share folders with your friends!

FYI the black theme sucks, causes horizontal scroll on 1024x600.

hmm that I didn't notice since I am using 1152x864, that'd be easy enough though to fix

just change this bit in the top of the stylesheet

Quote
width: 950px;  /* can be 100% (fluid) if so desired */

even just set it to 90% 0r 80% if you want

I just tested using stylish and 90% is actually a good amount

Goody, glad you added more choices... and added a lighter theme. I hate dark themes for forums.

It sucks.

Btw, black detracts guests. Read about the web design colour wheel.

I just don't like darker themes, but it's fine for me. I just changed my theme manually.

I didn't see this until now, but I just want to point out that yes, brad did create the logo, the artwork is all his, all I did was crop, resize and converted to an ico. That was a great design btw brad, did you do it from scratch?

I'd like to say I did, but I grabbed the icon of the world off iconfinder.net. Added some effects to the icon before adding the cross on top of it.

I was planning on making the icon myself, but I remembered I suck at things like that XD
