Welcome to the new forums!

[HEEGZ]

To get an idea of what it'll be like you can have a look here:
(still early work in progress though, only gotten more of less where i wanna be with the front index)

I like it

[Faeryl]

I like it too. Consistency between the website and forums looks more professional. Thanks Zic & team!

[Roekemoes]

Looks very cool indeed! Awesome work Zic!

[zicada]

Well, there we go.

Still some finetuning to do here and there, but they're functional.

Will themes be returning once the bugs are worked out?

Well, it's hard to get a regular phpBB3 theme to work inside drupal in this way, as theres bound to be CSS collisions. If you have any issues with the current one though i'm happy to hear ideas / suggestions on improving things.

All right, I have to say I like the new look. It'll take some getting used to but it's pleasantly professional and I like how well it fits into the main page.

However, I've a bug to report alongside my accolades

I was trying to write a post with a few embedded thumbnails. When I hit Preview, it was able to display anywhere from one to three thumbnails but anything beyond that and I got the message: "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image."

Err...

That's an odd one. I'll have to look into that. I'll be looking at the possibility of using a bit more advanced image-engine, that can resize images on the fly if they are too big etc. (both avatars and images in posts).

Can you recreate the issue ? Try with other images ? What format are the images ?

[zicada]

Err...

I'm finding that I cannot log in to the forums without enabling cookies in my browser, which is the first time that's happened in 4.5 years. I'm not sure that's by design or a bug.

If I try it anyway, I get redirected to the ALFA home page. Strangely, this lists me in the "Online users" section, although each attempt registers as a different user (I had my username showing up five times when I began writing this). And such non-cookie log in attempts don't appear to actually log me in, hence they should probably not list me in the online users display.

I miss subsilver already

It seems a bit cramped, with the bar down the side.

Would it be possible to make the grey line separating(for example) the signature from the posts, a bit darker?

Much more professional looking though, zic. Well done

Cookies are required to log into the website, the forums are now part of the website, hence you need cookies.

Cookies are pretty much required to log into most websites, i have no idea why you would want to turn that off.

I made several different attempts with different images before posting the bug report, all ended up with the same error though the number of thumbnails it took was variable.

I use the following code to embed them (exclude all use of the symbol * ):

The images are all .jpg format hosted on ImageShack

I was attempting to have them display in rows of three images similar to the way I've done in the "Memoirs of a Paladin" thread.

On the thing about cramped, and wanting to get more space horisontally:

That's just a getting used to thing.

Recommend having a look at what usability researchers and designers and such have to say about it. Something about a maximum area of eye movement and such.
