Can someone explain the forum status indicators? Sometimes the circle is empty, sometimes it's got another circle inside, sometimes the circle inside is offset... Is there a key somewhere?


For the index:
- A regular circle means there are no new post inside that subforum.
- A circle with a dot inside means there are new posts.

Inside a subforum
- A regular circle means there are no new replies inside that topic.
- A circle with a dot inside means the topic has new replies.
- A regular circle with an offset circle is a topic you have replied in
- A circle with a exclamation mark inside is a "sticky topic". Only admins and moderators can make topics sticky. These topics are stickied for a special reason. They stay on top of all the other topics.

Hi keesj! I have a problem that occured after the update.
I'm using Opera browser and sometimes the text in the posts turn black, or very dark = not readable. This might happen when I'm scrolling the page up and down, first normal text - scroll a little and it turns black. Very strange.
Ofcoz I can use another browser but just to let ya know man.

Other than that - nice new features. Liked the old look better though.

No more problems regarding memory issues after the fix!nice work!
However -in my opinion- the old forum had better colours!It's a bit "painful" for the eyes... after some hours especially with no light (and in the small screen of mini-laptop) i get tired in reading!

It seems my screen's brightness is mucher higher than average. This means everything I design looks a lot brighter on my screen than on other people's. :|

I'm now browsing the forums using another PC and I can clearly see the difference. The design is indeed much darker with the screen.

Unfortunately changing the colors of the design is not a quick process, but now I know I should check out the design using a few different monitors. The difference only really shows when working with very dark colors so that's why I haven't really noticed before I guess.

Anyway, expect the next design version to have more constrasting colors.
