[website] forum software updated

Post by abma »

the forum software phpbb was updated to version 3.1.3. sadly the old template is incompatible and we have to create a new one. this is why it looks maybe a bit weird atm, but this should improve over time.

feedback + help welcome:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=33242

sorry for the short outage of the website!

Topics and menues are just really bad readable..

Any features that make this worthwhile?
Do they support shiny-new-stuff support..

Topics and menus have awful color (can't distinguish it from the background very well).

Until someone creates a new template, is it possible to just meddle in some color settings without coding? If so, please tune down the brightness of the background or topics color... uhm... reverse... uhm... well: more contrast - either light fg or bg and the other the opposite :D I prefer Black text on light bg. dark-blue works too.
Other than that: I like the new layout.

The first time I viewed the new website (on both my tablet and pcs) the main text colour was some sort of light purple which was very hard to read. Just refreshing the page caused it to changed to dark blue, which is much better. I don't know if this was someone changing it or if it was a bug.

Could the "quick links" menu be changed a little? It seems a lot of effort to have to click twice and scroll down a menu to get to "active topics". I guess its the most clicked link and it used to be a single click.
