    This red font colour is awful, it's only good for headings I think.
    Please change it back to the way it was, webmaster, whoever it is. (Is it Nadeem?)

    Peace

      +1 vote against that motion from here !

      There used to be an option to change the themes to a few options in your profile but that's gone now. maybe they'll bring it back for the nay-sayers.

        The old design was much nicer and much more user-friendly. This one's confusing and I can't find the URL on top that allows you to view the threads in which people have replied to your posts. I can only find the URL that allows you to view unread threads.

            Peace all,

            Thanks dc2. The links you gave me had the bulk of the theme and I only had to change about 5%. And you are right, it was changed in order to tie in with the main site, and unfortunetly or fortunetly depending on who you are its red

              Not fixed yet. Is it because I use Firefox?

                i much prefer it aalmakto, looks very well. usually i dont like red links but these are more of a dark wine, at least on my monitor. are you able to manually alter the css ?
                it might be good to include some options to change the theme back to the default for people who dont like it. didnt there use to be an option for doing that in the user profile ?

                  Peace bro,
                  Sorry for the hassle. It is difficult to get themes compatible with all browsers.
                  In firefox, can you go to Help -> About Mozilla Firefox.
                  Mine says its version 3.0.4 and it loads well on mine. If yours is that version try hitting F5. If that doesn't fix it then may I ask for your version of firefox. That way I can download it and try and fiddle around.

                  Red was an issue. I thought about making it blue, but that would be completely different from the old design so kept it red.
                  Yes it is a CSS theme
                  http//custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=968
                  http//www.smfthemes.org/index.php?theme=654

                  The option to choose themes is disabled for some reason. I don't know why, I emailed Layth to ask if he had a reason.

                      you could just tone down the red links in the css. maybe it is a little bright on some monitors

                      http//img522.imageshack.us/img522/5041/freemindsef4.jpg

                      maybe #570f11 would be better

                        I agree with dc2, a darker red would be better, since it's not as bright as the red used now, and it would fit in nicely with the rest of the theme.

                        Thanks,

                        Sarah

                          Thanks Supernaut )
                          I am getting conflicting reports about the color. So if anyone else thinks the red should be toned down, now is a good time to voice your opinion. Like dc2 said it should not be difficult God willing. But I need to hear more views on this issue.

                            I think the red should be made a bit darker.

                              No, not darker then it will look not red anymore. I think it now look more brown red on my pc.

                                Where's the "recent unread topics"? I am tired of reading the same post twice and thrice...

                                      i dont get it. why is it madness. it has the exact same layout as the default theme but the colors/fonts are changed and the "show unread" and "new replies" links are in the right corner. to anyone who is having problems could i ask you to tell us which browser you are using ? is anyone using internet explorer 6 or below ?

                                        It was not there before, I assure you. Today it's there. Now I can say I like the new layout. Thank you and congratulations!

                                          I like the new forum colors.
                                          I like the new pic too. It reminds me of the movie "The Celestine Prophecy."
                                          Nice work!
