Sorry for the outage, but I finally got us updated to the latest version of PHPBB.

Now to find a new version of Subsilver2, our old theme!

Thanks for doing this! So now we're on the latest and greatest version of phpbb?

Hmm... this Subsilver is not like the old subsilver.

:Q Yikes!

I went to Board Preferences and you get the option to switch between ProSilver (what this new look is) and Allan Subsilver which I've changed back to, and it is a little more like our original look but still has the avatars on the right hand side.

YEah, we used Subsilver 2 before which is why I installed that one. Will have a look over the weekend for a theme more like our old one. Feel free to have a look around and let me know if you find one.

Jude, I'm not able to get into Turf, but I don't know why. Any ideas?

I tried using your permissions, and I was able to browse to one of the Turf threads, and even press the "Post Reply" button. What happens when you try to access it?

Seems to be working for me now Jude.

I'll have to look into re-enabling Tapatalk Dave

Any preferences for a new theme? Have a look on PHPBB Styles Database:

https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styles-2

We're looking for styles that are PHPBB 3.3 compatible.

I don't often get on the boards anymore on my computer, so I would rather someone who does would weigh in. (I got on my laptop specifically so that I could see what was going on here. You don't really see anything on Tapatalk.) That being said, anything light is preferable to dark. The black background with white text is murder on the eyes, imo. Violaceous (sp?) was nice at a quick glance (under Subsilver based).

Unfortunately all Subsilver styles seem to be too old. 3.0.x, while we're on 3.3

Ah. So looking under light (but I'm not going past the first page, tbh), ProSilverColor Blinds is nice. What do you have up now? It's pleasing to the eye, imo.

Are the new board styles responsive? (meaning, do they render well no matter the device?) Can someone with a mobile phone try accessing this site without Tapatalk and say if it works?

We could download a generic style and let me tweak it bit by bit as we notice what we like and dislike about it. I rooted around in the Admin Panel to see if there was a "copy style" function so that I could make a duplicate and work on it without risking making the original unuseable, but I couldn't find one.

Good to know.

So is Tapatalk still preferable for mobile phone users?

It is for me at least. Better sizes for most everything, fewer lines, no need to click on tiny words, "unread posts" mode, and easy attachments.

Most modern styles are mobile friendly, and we have Tapatalk, so I don't think that's a concern as much as just making sure people are happy with the Desktop version
