And that's why the Anglosphere still has the QWERTY keyboard standard, despite there being more efficient layouts (for various definitions of "efficient")Edi wrote:Then they are fucking idiots. If you have an established user interface that everyone has become familiar with, you DO NOT change it just because. User interaces are one of those things that people usually do NOT want to change if they work well enough, because you need to relearn so many other things than just that.TimothyC wrote:Hey, I'm just going with what has been stated. I personally prefer subsilver2 to prosilver myself. One thing to keep in mind is that the phpbb devs first implimented prosilver back in 2005 for the first 3.0.x release, and they had expected people to start to migrate by now.Imperial528 wrote:It's a dumb justification, and they should feel dumb. I want to know the author of the post I am reading before I form my opinions on it, thank you very much. Does this seem like an uncritical and biased method of reading? Why yes, it does. Because it is. And I like it that way. And the people at phpBB dev can go screw if they think otherwise.
Not to mention that it breaks years of bbs and forum standard for an arbitrary justification that may not even be a useful one.
This. We all know that change can be tough, but this update also streamlined the admin approval process and made it easier to view on mobile devices. It's just going to take a little getting used to.salm wrote:In a week (possibly less) everybody will be accustomed to the right hand side avatars and if you then change it back to left hand avatars again people will complain again.
I think it's actually a little bit quicker.Elheru Aran wrote:Is it just me or does the board tend to load a little more slowly than it used to?
Same here. This forum has long cried out for a proper mobile version, though I appreciate Mike probably doesn't have the time for such trivialities at the moment.Elheru Aran wrote:'easier' to view on mobile devices? Not for me. I have to pan and scan, no matter which way I turn my phone. It doesn't automatically resize like it used to.
It wasn't terrible before. You had to manually resize it a bit to view properly, but the text would rearrange itself to accommodate your phone screen to some degree. Certainly much better than what it is now though. There may be pre-arranged bits of phpbb he could pick up to fix that?Chimaera wrote:Same here.

I'm not sure when I'll have time to create subsilver-based versions of BlackSoul and MillenniumFalcon, but it's on the "to do" list.
PS. favicon.ico was also restored.
Hervorragend. Um das Maximum an Effektivität herauszuholen, sollte ich auch nur noch in zivilisierten Sprachen sprechen.muse wrote:Thanas wrote:Don't think I will ever get used to the avatars being on the right.
Personally I will celebrate with feasting and song if Mike implements a "proper" subsilver-based MilleniumFalcon theme again.salm wrote:In a week (possibly less) everybody will be accustomed to the right hand side avatars and if you then change it back to left hand avatars again people will complain again.
I changed the font colour on that screen from #333 to #bbb, so that should fix it.Broomstick wrote:I see you've redecorated. I don't like it. [/Two, Eleven, etc.]
More seriously, on the advanced search screen some of the text for options has such low contrast with the default background I can barely read it unless I start splashing highlighting around.
I'll probably get used to the new look, just give me some time.
