I think it would be really neat if you gave users the ability to change this forum's theme. Imagine the possibilities!

Do you mean you'd like to have totally different themes to pick from? (We can DO that! HOWEVER I would not have time to add custom things to them like the world or radio links at the top.) - Options: https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?action=themes We could start a thread for people to pick their favorite options.

OR do you mean you would like the ability to add custom CSS to this theme? Which would allow you to change colours and background images etc? (I think we can do this too, Id just need to figure out how!)

Thank you, will use forum.melonking.net

Yes it was annoying in that the screen I have had the forum open during the day is to the right of my work screen and the constant animation in my peripheral was insane

Hopefully this makes sense - in the sub forum lists, make the last forum posted date eg

Code

be clickable to take you the new post.

This is already on the forum main page.

Done! You can now do this on the MelonLand theme, the CiniLand theme already does this but you need to click a separate icon next to the date.

[fLaMEd]

amazing! yay! thank you.

have not dived into themes yet but will check out cinni's theme soon!

[fLaMEd]

last one for this week (i think)

can the font-size for quote's be increased `font-size: x-small;` is too tiny!

[Melooon]

I made quote text a little bigger, do you find it more readable now?

EDIT: Also no worries, keep em comming!

[fLaMEd]

At first glance (on iPad) looking okay! Will let you know

I think one feature that would be helpful is the ability to make custom colors on the default text color option. (This might be a feature already but I don't know.)

I did think of this, however the issue is that whatever colours are picked must be readable on both the MelonLand theme and the Cinni theme, one is light and one is dark, so there are actually A LOT of colours that are unreadable on one or the other. If there are any colours you'd like added though, post them in the Colours! thread and we can test them!

hey hey! ive been on here quite a bit recently and ive came up with some suggestions.
i think we should have an option to change the width of the site, i dont really know how to explain it, but pokefarm q has this feature. you can basically select a width for the main content and forum. i have a large monitor so reading through forum posts is kind of difficult when each line is SO long.
also i think the profile editor should have the little buttons at the top to insert bbcode, for those (myself) who dont know every bbcode tag
and on the topic of bbcode tags, i remember a while ago i was trying to insert an image to which you had to resize since i couldnt figure out how to resize an image with bbcode. ive seen some forums have a little popup box when inserting an image that lets you chose its size. i feel like that would be something cool to have
if these features already exist, you can ignore this. im blind as a bat
