Supporters Samurai Posted February 6, 2017 Supporters Posted February 6, 2017 Great work with the forum, it's nice to see so many stuff happening. I don't have a very hi-res monitor on my laptop so I tweaked the new look a bit to be less spacious. It is a style for the stylish plugin (Find the plugin for your browser here: https://userstyles.org/). The tweak is here: https://userstyles.org/styles/138566/wider-airsoft-forums-uk
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted February 6, 2017 AF-UK Founding Member Posted February 6, 2017 I think 100% is a bit too wide considering it is a fluid layout. I was thinking about reducing some of the padding though, so when I get a bit of spare time I'll see what I can do to find a better medium.
Root Admin proffrink Posted February 6, 2017 Root Admin Posted February 6, 2017 Devastator did change it from what looked like around 60% to 80%. I think it's now basically identical to the old site - which I liked - but I certainly agree that a full width solution is nice too. Perhaps this could be incorporated into a new theme - duplicating this one and making that sort of minor CSS edit would probably be a matter of 10 minutes and would save people installing a plugin.

I don't really want to have to support more than 1 theme through upgrades and try to make it consistent. I think a lot of the trouble now is what people are used to.. things change and suddenly people analyse everything and want to make it better. I'm pretty sure the font itself and the size is clearer now - but no one has mentioned that
Root Admin proffrink Posted February 6, 2017 Root Admin Posted February 6, 2017 If only you had 3-4 regulars who all know how to make basic style changes On the font front: Depends a lot on your browser too as Chrome/Chromium have been rendering many webfonts horribly for years now and no one has realised. You have to be particularly careful with it (perhaps they have been this time around). I've not noticed a difference on Firefox really :S

Point taken, but sometimes you need a small group to avoid consensus decision-making and to keep things tidy and focussed.
Root Admin proffrink Posted February 6, 2017 Root Admin Posted February 6, 2017 I guess 1 fits the bill of being a pretty small group.

AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted February 6, 2017 AF-UK Founding Member Posted February 6, 2017 I just cosied things up on the homepage a little.
