[Dan]

Still working on styles for all the forums. You'll have a range of colour options to choose from, I'm going to create a couple of common footy team colours (red and white, etc) and I'm open to suggestions too. Three or more people must want the same colour scheme though else I'll be making styles for the rest of my life.

 

[Dan]

Ps, I'm the first person to thank you.

 

[Toddyplumb]

Where do we find unread posts ?
Why football colours , I hate football. What about some nice rugby colours

 

[Dan]

Rugby, sound, anything goes mate. Three or more people need to want it though (mind you, I've got to add half a dozen to start us off with so what's your favourite rugby team colours mate? Link me to their website and I'll try to obtain the EXACT colours ).

As for the new threads that have been replied to since your last visit, click "What's New" in the menu.

That will not take long,they will just require electric blue !!

this site looks the business dan,like the new look

 

[PlumbBobBob]

new design looks good liking the idea for changing colour to your taste

 

[tamz]

But can you personally change the colours as i find these ones a bit garish on the old eyes.

Might be the glasses tho

 

[Puddle]

Hi tamz

Bottom left hand,chose of three so far,more wll be added over the next few days,if you have a request cose add here

Dans doing a great job at the moment,as updating electrical forums as well at same time,so will get some sorted as soon as possible

Would you believe they've had me to Green and Yellow, and then Blue and Brown - matching wire colours! lol Created a night-mode on there too which they suggested which might be handy here. It's basically a really dark (sort of black) style that's easy on the eye when you have low lighting in the room late at night.

As puddle says, suggest away mate and I'll knock some up for you.

 

[tamz]

I know you are spending a lot of time doing this stuff Dan and i appreciate it.
I like the layout but the colours do my nut in.
I still have a post open as a tab from this morning and i flick to it then back to this one to compare.

I'm going to have a wee play about with them as Puddle said.

Btw If you are going to do football colour type things do a red white and blue.
Green and white would blind me

Have tried this night mode,I like ,good for the smaller screens as well me thinks

As for colours,of the local team ,that would be good if possible

They play in black and red shirts,with a yellow trim around the neck and a dark orange trim round arms,with white shorts with purple pocket inserts and a thick burgundy strip on leg ends,then green and gray socks with a gold inlay,the goalie of course wares green and yellow top with orange shorts with black trim and lime pockets with golden yellow socks with a cream band

Their away strip is.............................................................

How could I forget the silver boots , brass coloured studs and turquoise and willow green laces ,thought I might be pushing a bit there redsaw,don't what Dan to think I am being unrealistic in my request but if he could add the boot colours as well,that would be great!!!


Apart from the smilies,which I have to agree with you,what do you think of the new Ukplumbersforums set up,redsaw ?

wish you had chosen another smiley,wifes seen it and got those come to bed eyes on now!!

 

[Dan]

Update:-

Red, White and Blue and the NightMode colour schemes have been added.

 

[tamz]

I'm on the black and white. Thats better. Just how i remember things

 

[Dan]

Did you guys have custom smilies before mate? They should have transferred over. If you didn't have, let me know and I'll add them. (Thinking about it, if you did have, let me know too, as there's a problem lol)

 

[tamz]

Your efforts are much appreciated Dan

 

[Dan]

You're just after another cheeky thanks, aren't you?

No,we just had standards ones and inported others from out side

Its just the new ones are not so defined and a bit fuzzy ,will get used to,just nit picking,,sorry,its me getting in touch with me feminine side again

 

[tamz]

Thanks for the thanks but i wasn't expecting one. You are doing a grand job and i appreciate you efforts. I am getting used to it now.
It is hard to learn an old dog a new trick
The wife came through after the soaps finished and said what are you doing?
Looking through the plumbing site.
Thats not the same one is it?
Shooosh it's all changed and i am trying to find my way around it. Make me a coffee

TBH as i allways am,
i am finding it a struggle but dont want to sound negative after all the hard work put in.
the scripting is wider (ok unless on a coal powered monitor as text smaller to fit page). = widescreen format.
the font is all the same size and i find it difficult to pick out.
any chance of increase in size of headers (bold), report post icons and smillies?.
and a decrease in size of 'message envelope'?.

i am proberbly just an old git who dont like changes or needs new glasses, simple is best, just like me.

 

[tamz]

Redsaw you are just showing your age ...............like the rest of us

Personally i would love everything in bold and i haven't quite figured out what the big envelopes mean but there is always tomorrow.

 

[REDSAW]

blank...and white (see colour choices)
and night mode work better for me although some text is illegible at bottom of page.
i can see the text better at 125% but cant fit to page. sigh.

ps. the online bulb could do with being a lot bigger, or wheres the little person?.

I'll install you the custom smilies we have on tilersforums, only thing is, although each image file is tiny, there are hundreds of them and it'll take 15 mins or so to download and then 15 mins or so to upload and it's just too late now lol.

Eeeerm. I see where you're coming from. Though the report post buttons and whatnot are meant to be much less obvious in this version to emphasize the main content area of each thread, the actual posts themselves.
