This will be the final and deciding poll on the new forum style.

I have taken the top two voted styles and created a poll for these.

They are...


Rock'n Roll
we_clearblue (Current style)

So get voting.

Once we decided on the style, i'm thinking about a competitions for the header graphics. Maybe the prize could be an Amazon gift voucher. Watch this space for an announcement ;)

Looks like we_clearblue is going to win the vote.

Still a few more days of voting left ;)

That's because it's become tried and tested now. If you had transferred over onto a luminous green with pink flowers theme everyone would have voted to keep it :roll: I'm sure if it was called treble tops, or choral classic instead of Rock N' Roll it would have been a winner lol

The reason I like R&R is because the unread topics are easier to make out, and also when you resize the window browser the the text and graphics automatically change with it. This layout is pretty much stagnant to the width and dimentions it's set at.

Alas, que sera, sera.

Maybe the vote was a little biased, but there is no argument that it is a clear and easy to follow style... If it does become a second place, there is no reason for it not to be available if users choose to use it. (Selectable in your profile) All we would need is some fitting graphics for the header. Anyway, we are jumping the gun here, voting not over for a couple more days ;)

So you would be able to choose your own personal theme! That would be worth the upgrade alone ;)

Well clear_blue is the winner, but I have also installed rock'n roll, there is just a couple of modifications I need to do before I make it available

Thanks for the fantastic job youve done with the forum - its great!
I just have one suggestion - i dont know if it possible though!
The only thing that annoys me is when you get to the bottom of a thread, there is no way on going back to the board index without scrolling all the way back to the top - is it possible to add a link in?
thank you! xxx

The link is already at the bottom, "In the grey area" Jump to board index, or you can jump back to the start of the forum, sub forum

Never noticed the links on the grey area :shock:

This should be also be present on top of the pages, to avoid to have to scroll to the bottom when you are near the top :wink:

No not at all!

I did not notice it for a while.

Its not that evident being in the grey area, making it more visable, and also putting it at the top of the page in on my list of things to do ;)
