New Themes

Also, kind if a perennial concern, but any chance you could make the font in dropdown menus for size & style a darker shade? Right now with the black theme I'm looking at off-white on white, so they appear almost blank.

Just noticed this, but it used to be that clicking on the post count for a thread showed you who posted and how many times, and let you click on their post total to see the individual posts they had made in said thread.  It still shows you the users and their number of posts, but you can no longer click on the number to view the posts.

Fixed, had to uninstall and install a new plugin to achieve this.

With the white theme, all of the text below the username in the header area for each post is white-on-white and invisible. (I didn't even notice there was something missing until now.)

.post.classic .post_author div.author_information { color: #F1F1F1; }
.post.classic .post_author div.author_statistics { color: #F1F1F1; }

Each of those rules in global.css is taking precedence over the following in color_white.css: (I don't know my CSS hierarchy well enough to say why)

.post .post_author div.author_information { color: #000000; text-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #171717; }
.post .post_author div.author_statistics { color: #124A4A; text-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #EEEEEE; }

Also I'd suggest to kill that text-shadow as we did everywhere else.

Works fine on my laptop, so probably a specific device issue. OS and Browser?

[T-hawk]

Both Windows Firefox and iPad Safari.

But that was on the theme named "--RB 1.8 White". It does look fine on "1.6 Apart Calm". I guess that's the one we should be using?

[BRickAstley]

No RB 1.8 White is correct... I think those two conbinations you mentioned are the ones i'm having the most trouble with, I'll take a look at it.

You can add a subject to a post ... for example, this post has the subject 'This is a post subject - DOGS RULE' ... but I can't see the subject when I just read the thread (it could be that I am blind).

Edit: You can see the subject under the classic theme.  But not under any of the new themes.  That said ... hover over the post count '#77 for this one' and it gives you the subject in a bubble.

When (if) I report in a pbem or pitboss game, I typically use the post subject to say what turn it is.

Any chance the black theme could be edited so that quotes use a different shade than regular posts? Currently it's visually confusing where one starts and another ends. Likewise, when viewing a thread in post creation / full editing mode, all of the previous replies tend to run together- it'd help if they employed alternating shades.

FYI all, I reorganized the Completed Games section for Civ by game type.  Should be easier to find a game you're interested in.  Particularly the Civ 6 games should be more visible instead of buried all the way at the bottom.

That's a good idea, but for some reason the "last post" section in the right column is right-aligned for me--any clue why that is?

It all looks fine for me on theme "1.6 Apart Calm". But yeah on the default theme, that Completed Games section is doing weird things. The "last post" table cell is right-aligned, and it just shows a number instead of "### posts" and "### replies". Any idea what's going on here? Probably because Completed Games is a category rather than a forum, but why does that behave so differently visually?

I guess since categories and forums are different, all the changes you made to make forums look good didn't carry over to categories? I don't know who did the changes, but presumably it shouldn't be that hard to fix (just copying over the relevant changes).
