Oh ok. Yeah that Prosilver theme looks kind of bland.

Ninjapuppy, what is your opinion of Artodia Ultra Blue then?

I like that one. It's easy to read and has perhaps more of an updated look. I say go for it.

Ok done. :) We are now using the Artodia Ultra Blue theme. Hope you like it. I think it looks great!

Let me know if you experience any problems or bugs in this theme.

The navigation above is a bit different. But you should be able to figure it out by playing with it. :)

Ninjapuppy,
How do you like the new theme so far?

ProfWag and Arouet,
How do you like this new theme?

Btw everyone,
To find your user control panel, click the icon at the top that looks like a flower *.
To get back to the forum index, click the icon at the top that looks like a house.

So far, so good. I've been able to navigate around easy enough but I'm sorry to hear that the rocket loader had to go. I was enjoying the zippyness.

Hey I'm having second thoughts about this theme. Some of the buttons are hard to find, and the dirty white background feels kind of gloomy. The white background we had before felt more uplifting and clean. The colors in this theme feel a bit gloomy. What do you think?

Also, in the posts, you can't see a PM button to send a PM to someone. You have to hover over the username with the mouse cursor to see a PM button appear. That's kind of lame. Many people will not know that there is a PM button there unless they hover their cursor over the user name, which there is no guarantee they will do.

Perhaps we should either move back to the red theme or prosilver. We can change the colors of prosilver because the blue is too bright in it. And we can use a mod in prosilver to move the avatars from right to left.

What do you all think?

I don't think that the background is "gloomy". It takes a while to get used to something new. Since I don't think that any of us are very attached to this one so if you want to give another one a try, I say go for it.

How about the RedSilver 3 style? It keeps a lot of the ScepCop red theme, but modernises the look and feel considerably. That was just a quick assay of the options that would be in keeping with the previous site style, allows you to use your red scepcop logo graphic, etc. I haven't looked at the full font and style family that comes with it, etc, tho. I also haven't assessed tons of different themes to be honest, I suppose you can just scroll through them all, and they're all available as a choice? I think the red lends a sort of urgency to your mission, the grey and blue sites are a bit bland. I'm on another forum with that blue-ish look but it's pretty anodyne and off putting tbh....

update: I've browsed the dropdown in the demo site list, I'm assuming they're all available for no extra charge? There's obviously a bewildering number of possibilities. I think the redsilver 3 theme is still a possibility as it's kind of having a bet each way with red and silver but they mesh OK. but there are so many others. I think you need something fairly striking tho. CA Orbital is very cool and dramatic and matches the content of the site, but pretty hard to read. clearly human factors like readability and good fonts and colours etc are important. otherwise there's just so many candidates... it's much easier to decide you want red then look through all the red options! or similar.
