insanelymac We are back! With a new style and many others features.

Nice work @Poco and company!!!!!

What's this, HTTPS on the forums now? Nice!

One suggestion: Use an image proxy (might be one built within the forum software) for linked images, otherwise browsers may give off warnings about mixed content.

Don't mind me... Just like full width on this style  Awesome work you are doing there Poco.

hey, @Poco 

Can you add the download count and antispam Reply? Thank u! xD

Please, (re)give a try

EDIT:

I discovered other forums like that, I swore to have already made changes but hey, if a admin/supervisor is behind, it means that they do not like, so I could not do anything, sorry.

 

Great.. it works!!! I think now it's much better. And with page index at the top again. I think it looks like perfect... thanks!!

It looks great now and we have 3 themes, i didn't see that, really thanks Poco!

Whenever or IF a dark theme becomes available, I'll be the first to try it.

I noticed some improvements in page loading times. Nice!

I still can't log in using Tapatalk, but I assume you guys already know about it.

Although I'm personally not a big fan of inverted colors, I do like dark themes, too.  And since the forum supports theming (you can check out the default one at the bottom of the page, to compare), I see no reason why we couldn't add a dark theme in the future. The important thing is that the forum is back.  Things like that (themes and extras) can be added in the future, if the forum administration agrees to do it.

If you're a fan of dark themes, try the inverted colors feature.The images, smilies are not inverted.

Well, a global setting for the entire system is not quite what I had in mind. Since I already have dark wallpapers and other dark themed sites, which will suddenly become white if I choose this setting. So...although it's definitely an idea, and I thank you very much for that, I'd personally prefer an actual dark theme.  But it's an interesting idea to take into account. So thank you very much for that.

Spoiler and code insertion are both enabled, another thanks

And strikethrough has appeared as well. Awesome!  Thanks @Poco

If at some point we could also get Font selector, and View Source/BBCode, then I think that would be everything important that's missing.   

(There's also ^Superscript and _Subscript, but I think I can count the number of times I have needed that in my forum lifetime on one hand   But I guess there's no harm having in the editor if it's not too much work to add.)

Based on the green color of the text in the theme I bet The Dark Knight had a brush of the Joker's gas

Nice theme by the way except for the orange and green text coloring in my view

My theme doesn't go full width, how did you manage to get it work on your end?

Cool! I didn't think someone will actually do something about it so fast. WAW! Awesome!!!

Now, for the theme itself. It looks cool! Do you think there might be a chance to maybe replace the green text with something else? Maybe a light grey so we can still have contrast with the dark background? Or even white?

I personally like the orange on the dark background. That's just something I always liked. But the green is kinda turning me off. :)) Of course, it's just a suggestion and ONLY if you or anyone else has the time and wants to put in the effort to work on a dark theme (or this dark theme, why not) in the future.

Thank you very much! It's always nice to see that someone is actually reading these posts and taking into account user's feedback.

I think you can do it with CSS tweaking using Stylish plugin, for example.

On that note, I would actually like a bit less side "bezel", too.  If it's not too much trouble. Not much. Just enough to see it's there, without having a landing strip in the middle.

OMG, I didn't know about that plugin! I guess I'm getting old  I thought the CSS only could be edited on the server-side of the web sites. I'm gonna try it right away!

Thanks

I think this tool injects it into your desired website (you will see that it actually asks for a URL to be provided) before it loads. So it takes your changes and applies them there, then lets the site load normally, along with them.

If anything, I think Shaneee might be able to help you more with this. He's an awesome guy and he has a lot more experience using the tool than I do (i just started using it yesterday so...yeah).  

Question:

Guys, is it intended to be logged out when you click News? It doesn't seem right to me. I'm logged in when I'm on the forum, but when I go to the main page (News section), I'm asked to log in again... Not sure why. Sorry if this has been reported before. I hope I didn't miss it.

 File uploads still seem to be partially broken. I just tried to upload a zipped 4.5 MB IOReg file, and it failed with error -200 and a upload failed message but it did work fine with a 100 KB zip file and a 1.5 MB zip file but not the 4.5 MB zip file.

Thank you 

I did it with Stylish plugin. For the body background, I used the background color of the current theme's navbar (news, forums, members....) which is #2d363c

If your background has a too strong color, a feeling of heaviness may emerge. Do not forget that the colors speak for you. They arouse the visitors emotions.

I never liked dark themes but I really wanted to do it for you guys, because you deserve it. It is all of you guys who make this site and this community grow and live and it was my (poorly) way to thank you.

So I guess I'm not the only one.  Just posted this just a few posts before. Good to know I'm not the only one.

@Cyberdevs If you want full width with Stylish set Applies to Domain and enter insanelymac.com and use this for css,

#ipsLayout_body {
 width: 100%;
 max-width: 100%;
}

.ipsClearfix {
 width: 100%;
 max-width: 100%;
}

Edit: This will make it easier  https://userstyles.org/styles/157117/insanelymac-full-width 

@fantomas1 Awesome. Mind if I tweak that dark style a bit?

One more request/feedback for our tireless admins..

Since the upgrade, the editor now uses double-spaced lines.  So every time you hit enter, it looks like the next line is a new paragraph.

This is generally not too bad - it saves having to add in blank lines for paragraph breaks.  But for some purposes it makes content look much longer/more spaced out than is desirable.

Two examples:

1) My signature; it only looks like it does now because it was inherited from before the upgrade.  If I try to edit it now, there will be big gaps between every line and it looks really awful - far too long for the content included. 

Here's an example of what it looks like if I edit it now:

2) Yesterday I was making a post where I wanted to give some test results.  I wanted to clearly label each test, giving all the parameters of what I tested.  With double-spaced lines, it doesn't look great:

It takes up so much space, far more than is needed for this purpose.

My request:

Either go back to the pre-upgrade editor mode, which always used single-spaced lines (a blank line can be added manually where extra spacing is wanted),  or else configure the editor to allow this to be optional.  Maybe double-space is the default, but the user can select single space if desired.

However I have looked through some BBCode guides and I can't see any BBCode that controls single/double spacing, so I fear it may be something that can only be configured globally by the admin.

Personally I think it would be better to have the default be single-space, as this still allows the user to manually double-space it (with extra blank lines) if they want.  But if the default is double-space, there is no way for the user to use single space instead if they want to.

Thanks!
