Forum skin/layout

in General Discussion
This maybe the wrong section for this but Is there anyway to chnage the forum skin/layout/colour please?

I really don't like the current dark skin and all the bright orange blink the forum has. Its bit like it was designed for the 80s disco :open_mouth:

I also find it very hard to follow long threads and the way in which post are quoted etc.

I hope they redo the forums before the game goes live.

Also its not work friendly as it s easy for my boss to spot that I am not working and reading gaming forum :)

    The forums are love the forums are unlife.

    Also if you want to customise your forum I would ask @tugowar as he made an addon that made changes to the last forums

    Pretty sure there were a couple extensions made early on with these forums as well.

    Hey,

    Thanks guys. The theme is still up to date. You can install it via firefox and chrome. When you install, there's a button on the bottom right to edit options.

    I have a light theme in that will change up colors. You can also make a CSS file and i'll happily add to theme.

    Hi,

    Many thanks for the link. It has helped my a lot! Maybe I am being greedy, is there any chance you can add option to chnage the color and socially the intensity of some colors please?

    I’ll be happy to. Just give me an idea of what colors I need to change. Maybe use like the snipping tool and mark it up. I’m not the most artistic sod.

    ( I assume you went into options on the bottom right and checked out the light theme and no background image options already. Don’t worry, I don’t like light theme either...)

    Thanks for the offer however I was happened to look at this forum on the mobile yesterday and thats exactly how I want it to look! But I can't figure out how to get that view on the desktop. If I can get mobile view then I am happy and it will save you work :)

    Edit: I found a way to view the mobile site on desktop. I go to developer tools and then request mobile version. But its pain as you are in developer mode :(

    In my case it would literally be a violation of state law to read the forums on my work computer.

    (So I do it on my personal phone instead. :D)

    the forums are quite compared to what they used to be so I can normally keep up to date on my breaks
