Forum Themes
« on: August 15, 2018, 03:24:16 am »
I have been thinking about this for a while and I am not sure if the engine the site
is based on will allow this. My input is short and sweet... what if we had themes to choose from?
In example, a lighter theme or a darker one such as this. Or even perhaps the original theme. But
with everything, there will likely be flaws. What do you guys think? I also read a while ago that the forum is still W.I.P, is
that true?

Yes, it seems as though the forum design is still a W.I.P. But, I honestly miss the old forum layout. It was more unique, in my opinion.

Overall, I see FeralHeart with dark templates. Brown, tans, black, greys, with a few golds and yellows strewn about as accents. This forum is run on Simple Machines, which is the lovely Createaforum.com. I have little experience with it, but I think there is only one default skin that everyone sees and individuals cannot change it. Not entirely sure, since they could have changed that.

FeralHeart/Impressive Title used to be a Proboards website, if you believe that! ^_^ You can see how FeralHeart accounts are connected to the site whereas in Impressive Title, you didn't even need to put your correct e-mail in to play! (Which honestly explains it's downfall and hacking, r.i.p.)

A very nice suggestion, I am sure there are members who could make the forum really pretty!

That's an interesting idea! I don't know weather or not it would be possible for the staff to apply that, but if they can and like the idea, I think it would be a fun feature! Otherwise I can see them maybe wanting to keep it simple and stay with this current theme?
Nonetheless, it's still a fun idea!

Nice, interesting! I remember when I joined IT in 2009 it had something like that! It is a great idea and it would be beautiful if they did so <3

Considering Razmirz is a busy man, yes. It could take longer. I am sure the staff's priority is focused elsewhere.

I'm not sure if its possible or not, but if it is, I'd love to see different forum themes! Even something as simple as Light/Dark options, but seasonal themes would be pretty neat as well (I know Chickensmoothie, for example, has different themes for holidays, seasons, and events; seeing that variety in the FH forum would be a lot of work but still pretty interesting!).

And I'd pay to see the old theme back, as painfully contrasting and messy as it was, just for nostalgia purposes.

Indeed, most of the staff are busy, including Raz. I'm sure something will happen in the future with it though, patience is the key. As for the theme selection idea, I do like that, it's an interesting concept. I did love the old layout, but I'm not awfully picky with what's given.

Putting in my thoughts here as well --

I do believe Raz is very much focused on the patch at the moment (though I could be wrong), I know he is very busy a lot of the time! Though, if theme selection were a thing that would be awesome. I think a general revamp would do just fine. Some aesthetic touch ups, new buttons, details, etc. But, when staff find time maybe they might detail things and give more options! Who knows. c:

A theme based on Seasons would be nice to have ^^. Not that It’s a priority or even a possibility during this time. It could look cool and what not c:
