Re: ¿ phpBB 3.0.0 ?
Thanks for updating! I might be imagining it, but phpBB 3 also seems to be a bit more responsive than 2. Incidentally, the forum emails are now being send from alex_kilbey--at--homail rather than admin--at---theportforum.

It is more responsive!
It's also very impressively different. All the efforts going into the upgrade are very gratefully received from this user, at least!

Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Good to be back and good to see progress being made. I have to say I like the grey, can we keep some of it?
...but, I am firmly of the view that ThePortForum should basically be a red website

GIF is a file format for graphics. I have designed the buttons, such as “Reply† and ‘Unread thread’.DRT wrote:Please tell, what are GIFs?
Re: ¿ phpBB 3.0.0 ?
I can see "Post Reply" (which I assume to be the same as "Reply") but not "Unread Thread". Am I looking at a different BB?jdaw1 wrote:GIF is a file format for graphics. I have designed the buttons, such as “Reply† and ‘Unread thread’.DRT wrote:Please tell, what are GIFs?

If you are looking at a thread, you will see one. If you are looking at the list of threads, you might see another.
Re: ¿ phpBB 3.0.0 ?
I still can't see "Unread Thread", but can see "PostReply" (but not "Reply")jdaw1 wrote:If you are looking at a thread, you will see one. If you are looking at the list of threads, you might see another.

Different icons by the threads have different meanings. Read versus unread; hot (â”°Â¥15 replies) versus not-hot; announcement or not; sticky or not. Those icons do not have words on them, but still have such meanings. -styled versions of those icons, 18 by 18 (smaller than the current 27 by 27), have been made.DRT wrote:I still can't see "Unread Thread", but can see "PostReply" (but not "Reply")

Re: ¿ phpBB 3.0.0 ?
The Icons are pretty confusing (who here really cares about <> 15); but might I suggest that whatever changes are made, we avoid animations?jdaw1 wrote:Different icons by the threads have different meanings.

not sure what the difference is between announcement and sticky, nor what the * and the scrolling equate to.
Re: ¿ phpBB 3.0.0 ?
The little * shows a topic to which you have posted.
Animations are hateful, and meant to indicate a ‘hot topic’, that is, one with â”°Â¥15 replies. As ‘hot’ is mean to be a topic in which one is more likely to be interested, my icons indicate this with a tiny glass. Better than no glass at all!
Announcements and Stickies.
I’ll email you what I’ve done, mostly as backup, but also that you can comment on the icons.

This is a test post as requested by admin.
Re: ¿ phpBB 3.0.0 ?
Hurray! The previous post came back with a URL of viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1029&p=17365#p17365 which omits the test directory. (Avoiding the implication of the “this is the BB of Alex, aged 14½!!!!!†! )
Next please: notifications to come from admin, not a personal email.
