Can another theme be added for the forums?

[joeschmuck]

I posted this in the To Do List thread (most folks don't have access to it) so I'll report it here...

I changed my theme to "New Style" and I have a few requests...
1) In the Search Box, could you please have it identified as the search box? Maybe a label.
2) When a search result is returned, could you please have the top of the page, above the search results, display the search string? For example it looks like you are searching for "freenas" + Search Box Text. But when I search for something, it's nice to see what I searched for so if I wanted to make a minor change to the search, I don't have to rely on my poor memory for what I searched on. You don't need to state "freenas" in the search string, just the text entered into the search box.

Lastly, I do see the Google Ads and understand why they are there and it's not a big deal to me.

Yep! This was quick and dirty, but it will match up with the rest of the style once I'm done with it.

btw this is a minor nitpick on my side but i would really like it if the font on the blue bar at the top was the same size on the new theme as it is on the old one

That was strange. I could have sworn I checked that box. Xenforo may be revolting against me... Try it again and see if it's working now :).

Xenforo is definitely revolting.

It took me ~50 posts to notice and ~100 more to stop caring...

So that's like 30 seconds for you? :D

It does feel oddly large.

Since the forum is getting some attention, is there any chance someone can try to figure out why non-privileged users can't read the resources section at all?

Actually, I just realized the forum will let me post a resource. Still won't let me read @jgreco's resource. Can other users read it?

 

[anodos]

That should fix your jumbled mess, but there are still 2 message counts displaying for some reason. has it always been like that?

I think the indentation on signature blocks needs to be fixed.

 

[INCSlayer]

I can read your resource when im checking @jgreco's resource i can see the first line but then it says:
You do not have permission to view the full content of this resource.

i can also make my own resource

Yes i'll be glad to look at it. It's on my list of things to look at. Just haven't gotten that far yet. :).

Hadn't even noticed that. It's probably always been like that, only obscured by the lack of a border or distinct colors.

You should also look at @Ericloewe's Message Count. It seems to randomly fluctuate. I think it's supposed to be around 800.

Yours doesn't have a lack of permission message, but that might be because it's too short to have more content.

It was beyond 1.5k when jgreco got bored and decided he'd fix it for me. Don't make someone go count all the posts manually again, it's rude.

i added some random text can you still see it all?

Nah, now it shows the message.

There you go. Keep in mind guys there's still quite a bit left for me to do on styling this.

Also: Search is currently showing users' titles, instead of their usernames. I'd say titles would make more sense, but out of the top 10 (active) users, only two don't have silly titles.

On the bright side, putting animated gifs into signature blocks seems to be working rather better than I thought.

Why am I suddenly blind? This is highly disconcerting.
