Title: Moving away from BlueHost
Post by: Slash on March 20, 2013, 12:29:04 AM
We are transitioning away from bluehost to Slashware private servers. Please let me know how everything works.

Well, I just deleted my first spambot message, so there's that at the least.

Seems to work great, although I'm not crazy about the colorscheme/theme. I kinda liked how easy the old one was on the eyes.

The current theme is temporary

Aww, I like the new forum color scheme :(

Hope you like new one, it's the one I'm leaving (with some minor pending adjustments)

Moving the blog from bluehost will take a bit longer than expected... I'm in the process of reactivating my hosting account with them.

Well, this forum color scheme is pretty good, too :) Though the header is rather tall for my tastes... why do I have to do so much scrolling?!

Yeah, everything is way too big.  Header should be far smaller, as should the various icons on the left hand side.  It looks cool and all, but it's not so functional when you have to scroll so much.

Feels fresh with a temple renovation, so kudos, Slash. Also cool with a subforum for 7drls; that's going to keep things much tidier in the future. I agree that the header is too big, though. Also, if I try to display unread messages (http://roguetemple.com/forums/index.php?action=unread)[1], I get an error that "[only] registered members are allowed to access this section." I just roll my eyes and go: "Dude, I'm, like, totally registered."

As always,
Minotauros

[1] Should there be a button for that somewhere, by the way?

It is much easier to read now... The pagination links, though, could be a bit larger, I can hardly hit them.

Minor nitpick, but I'd probably swap the "Hello! yourusername" bit in the header with the "Unread posts, show new replies" - since the Hello is boxed and the Unread is not, it seems that it would be more aesthetically pleasing to have the Hello at the border, boxing the header, rather than floating at this semi-random point in space.

The use of grey for text on a white background is one I hope you reconsider.  It is harder to read than the black text.

Why every other message is in grey font? Really hate that.

I strongly agree

A redirect on http://roguetemple.com/forums would be nice. Toss this in the directory's .htaccess:

Code: [Select]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* http://forums.roguetemple.com/ [R=301,L]

yeah, the redirect was there already, but was colliding with wordpress .htaccess , fixed now.

Hi. I don't want to rain on anyones parade but I absolutely loved the old forum design and colors. It was super easy to read and navigate the forums and now it seems there is not enough contrast with all the white and light grey colors which makes it harder to navigate and find things. Just out of curiosity, was the old forums a phpBB and if so what was the phpBB design style/theme?
