What is going on with the forum? - Page 5

"In any event, collectively, we are not living in, nor building toward a technocracy" <- from this post:
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was"what-is-going-on-with-the-forum-t7162.html#p53212"
linktext was:"what-is-going-on-with-the-forum-t7162.html#p53212"
====================================

no, it was replaced a while ago with a"doacracy," meaning whoever does the most has the most say.

well who"does" the most? people who create vendor lock-in, extend and extinguish, and drag people through fad after fad.

nope! crazy conspiracy theory! that is not happening right now, no ones really complaining about it, only a fringe few even care (the last part there is a fallacy, but it is based on a true premise.)

but whats not a crazy theory is that this notion goes against free software. the two cannot coexist, in order to make them"get along" one has to be made impotent. and that has already happened.

If you want to know who really put this fugly forum here, its all of us.
take a good long look at it, because its the fruits of too many compromises, too much"making nice" with the suits.

^--- nicely summarized

.....first it was blue, bit painful on these old eyes, then it went green, relaxing, but now it's black, wonder what colour it'll be the next time I come here...... :lol:

@figosdev & skidoo i enjoyed reading your responses and opinions, they were very informative and i'm glad that there are more of us that are in the known or dissapointed with the current state of the"open source" community.

@fatmac i am to blame for the"black" and grey effects to the forum. roky left the background in a bright acid blue that melted my display. :)) on a serios note, the only customization that the current forum engine has, is the ability to change the name of the forum, logo and one single color. that color that was set to black, blue or green, changes for the tapatalk header, some buttons, new posts buttons and the footer, nothing else. i selected this"black" color because it was the only one that could be seen for a new post.
because antix main theme, at least when i joined and several version after, was grey based and because the main body of the forum is white with black & grey fonts, i was under the opinion that i should make it grey. as there is no theme, we should make a poll for what color is best and try to incorporate it as best as we can, because any modification to the forum needs to be done by inspecting the code and by making css code to bypass the default forum settings, which is retarded and time consuming, but we have no choice.
i will not play with the forum for the time being and i will try to beg some programers friends to help me out, because they do this for a living and i do this to punish myself. :)) i hope that we can find a common ground to satisfy the users, until tapatalk implements other themes, at least i hope they do.

Ha Ha. I did not know aqua blue would stir up the hornets nest it did. I can live with any layout for a forum setting. Because I got motorcycle keys for attitude adjustments and I don't take computers so seriously.

Just a happy camper in life. Hoping good Karma follows me like a puppy dog.

You go ahead and play with settings dark-D. I just only spent time on it because of my curiosity section in my brain. I sure in the hell don't know what I am doing.

it didn't stir the hornet nest, it just attacked my dark soul with bright feelings.

honestly, more annoying than the colors is the text and forum spacing, it's too big.

LOL!
It works, but yes it is still quite a chore and horribly time consuming .... Alot of things inherited from several different files and alot of unnecessary declarations for style that would normally be inherited that therefor need to be explicitly turned off.
That being said it does seem doable, just a little tuff to handle all at once. Probably needs a few people to analyze it and change a few settings every now and then.

Edit: The mess does not seem to end :P
I am done for now

Bravo, Dave!

Anyone can"test" by pasting that into their userContent.css (refer to my earlier post) then restarting the browser.
"Stone Soup" ~~ someone else can add further tweaks and post it back...

Naw> I made a backup of the changes implemented so far. I thought of using the Desert theme I use on another forum I mod at. Old folks forum. Mostly Windows and Mac users. Though I have converted a few users to using Linux. User member here, Shay, is a member there.

I toyed with the idea of using

But since I don't know what I am doing. And this post is a shotgun approach type of editing the css layout. I chickened out. I don't wanna break the forum. The style I posted is lighter than the dark scheme. Think Desert Sand look. Like you. This is above my pay grade and poke and hope may cause more problems than it will solve. So I will grab my popcorn and just watch.

Edit: Though maybe later on. I may try the above css style after studying this post a better. Thanks to skidoo.

Since it effects my box and not the the site itself.

i'ved added square avatars, but i can't figure out how to decrease the width of that portion or how to add a detailed description of the user, the way it was on the old forum, with post number, location, etc.

I did not look at the avatars, but by the rest of how the page is structured... there should be an avatar container that you would set the size to, then you can specify the size of the avatar image itself by specifying the container and appending img to the css block. For example with the logo:

Code: Select all

.site-logo{
float: left;
}
.site-logo img{
height: 75px;
}

Where".site-logo" is the container and".site-logo img" specifies the image within that container. I did not specify a size for the container in this instance as then the header would go funny as the page resized.

As to adding the detailed description; I am not sure how that is possible as css only styles the information that is set. So you would need to edit the forum php scripts to be able to add the information in. Unless by chance the information is there but hidden?

EDIT:
Yes it is there, I just noticed by mousing over the avatar image. So you would need to remove the special show / hide css functions for the container. If you open webinspector, click on the webpage to"lock" the inspector, then mouse over the avatar and press"Control + Shift + C" you can then select the mouse over balloon to inspect it.

dave, there is a white section to the right of the forum, do you have any idea what causes it?
for the avatar, the codes i tried didn't work. i want to reduce it to increase the post section.

You probably need to adjust the post body width so it is wider and decrease or remove the width for the avatar column
EDIT: Yep

Code: Select all

.postprofile_Left .postprofile {
    width: 100px;
}
.postbody {
    width: 90%;
}
