Honestly, it’s hard to read (for me) and not to the point at all. Too much spacing and low text contrast.
IMO forums should be functional, that mean easy to read and search.
Old forum was close to be perfect, why change it?
Since I have no option to choose different theme I depend on the default one.
I know, I wish i could integrate both, but man I suck at WP and I need a lot free time to mess with it 🙄

Im sorry dear sir…the forum style is back like it was and I hope you’re happy 🙁
Aaargh! Yes! Yes! I’m guilty! So what @Chike – if I wanted to make the forum “pretty”! 😀 Crucify me!! :p

Thanx for the tip auto!
Looks like Chike has defeated me. Back to the same ole ugly boring blue 🙂
Better luck next year..hopefully!
Well I thought the theme looked good, Maybe a better option would be to have multiple themes and let the user select what theme he/she wants to use, This could be handy for the “visually impaird” users like chike.

In what way was the old forum hard to read? If I can read something, everyone can. And qhy didn’t you simply quote me? 😆
A forum is not a painting on the wall that needs to be pretty, it needs to be functional.
If I can’t read it, reply with quotes, add quotes, edit, or moderate it, than it’s not functional.
If you want to do changes, start with something that is good (old forum) and make it better.
We just gonna have two styles than the old one and maybe another one for the user to change in case they want it, that way everyone is happy
That’s what normally happens with old age….
Oh realy I guess there are no young people that are visually impaird.
Would you buy a newspaper printed in light blue on white, or dark gray on black? No need to answer.
‘@chike – Its the opposite for me. The old forum was hard to read and it sucked. Im sure its still a work in progress though.
In defense of myself, who edited the theme, I couldnt believe that in 2013, there still existed a site that looked like it came from the 90’s. Now..I apologize if you guys don’t like the change but as a freelance web designer, I could only conclude that the only reason the site was as ugly as it was – was because the owner of the site had no web design experience. This was my conclusion and upon further investigation I found it to be true. Thus, I offered to help bring a more updated look.
@Chike – I’ve made the forum 960px as it was before. Aside from that, I don’t see any problem with a more modern, relevant design. If the colors are a problem, I’d be happy to change the font colors.
As a newbie to this forum, I certainly have no place to make decisions about style, but as I said before, I offered to help. If I had to vote, I’d obviously vote to keep this as the default layout because there is absolutely no reason to want to stick to something that was out of date, only for the sake of being used to it.
Im sorry if I upset anyone..i’m just a girl who likes pretty things 🙁
You can always go back to the outdated look. Its only a matter of deleting the stylesheet. However, I don’t recommend it.
I think the Style was awesome, but honestly our front page is beautiful and not need to change! But the only change I suggest is that in future we could use WP so we can have an complete WP integrated board where everything is inside one package!
Right now our frontpage, download page and ofcourse the forum are all 3 different pages.
I understand the forum ofcourse, but I am only thinking in future our Frontpage could be easier to integrate in ONE PACKAGE, and later find a good WP to PHPBB3 Bridge! There are many WP Integrations/Bridges between wp and PHPBB3! And I am pretty sure that we will find a good one later!
But so far, I am satisfied and love the one we already have!

Im happy only if you can tell me how to add a right-click dialog to a listbox with nicknames from paltalk in vb 😀
In the listbox controls mouse event handlers, use “e.Button” property to read which button was clicked. Then use an if statement to run your code if it was a right click.
how can u suck at wp? i am running 4 wp sites right now lol.. from a restaurant with online orders. to a mayoral candidates page. if your good with graphics, the plugins do the rest..
It has 3 you guys need to check proboot the could be the bomb if we can hook it up 😀
