 Re: look and feel of the new forum
Thanks for posting a Poll. I'm curious as to what people think.
We upgraded to phpBB v3.0 for more updates especially dealing with security (due to spammers), so this left us with a new look. There doesn't seem to be any styles/templates yet for the new phpBB, so I am awaiting ones to come to change the look.
Please let us know what you think about the functionality.
EDIT: I have found styles. I am going to put one or two up.

 Re: look and feel of the new forum
You can choose from the one it's on right now, or there's a "default" one from phpBB. Do you like this one more?

 Re: look and feel of the new forum
I would like to see a theme with more contrast. I find the current colour scheme a little hard to see. Other than that, nice job  Regards, Xander

 Re: look and feel of the new forum
yes, I agree to this. The edit-Window (post a reply) is nice cause it's bigger, and thus you can better see what you are writing. But the navigation in the forum's tree should be a little improved... : the navigation buttons/bar at the top and the bottom as well as are much too small and should be taller.

 Re: look and feel of the new forum
You probably already noticed, but I increased the size of that text. Let me know if you think of anything else

 Re: look and feel of the new forum
fine, now it's really hugh- probably even big enough for myopics just in red (or green) this maybe would increase contrast, and if you managed to increase the top right bar, too it will be absolutely perfect
