Author Topic: The forums's theme should feel more.. Blockland  (Read 1314 times)

I think the forum's Background should be random 1x1 studs of a random color, bird-eye view, and the buttons should be print bricks which glow when your mouse is over it.


EDIT: Also less blue, and more Arial c:

The layout really sucks too

No, it has been like this for years and only a handfull of people complained about it.

blockland's forums are the only forums that don't give me a headache by being on them

What about 4chan and steam discussions?

those aren't really 'forums' but steam discussion is still really weird

We have this layout since 2005. I find this layout ok, atleast is more easy to use than the new YouTube layouts and I would nitpick that Search is not on guest mode.

I am attached to my white and blue forums.

The forums look really stuff like a website from the 90s, I guess its functionality is satisfactory though. You can download Stylish for Chrome and get neat new styles for the forums, the best part is that since Badspot never updates the layout the styles never become outdated and stop working.

forget no it shouldnt look more blocklandy

i like how practical and simplistic the forum is. it's very spartan, like it's really only here to facilitate playing the game and the community conversing with eachother instead of it parading itself around like it's interesting in its own rite

which it's not

it's a forum

forums by definition are defined by the people who use them, not the forum style or system itself

Just thought I'd pop in and mention that forum themes *can* be changed client-sided- if you can code CSS, you can do something called a "user stylesheet," and if you're impatient/don't know how to use CSS, there are browser extensions that can take care of that for you (and manage uploaded override styles, too.  Using one right now, in fact).

Can't really do anything about layout, though.  CSS just handles the graphics style (colors, button images, etc).  The content is HTML generated by PHP scripts from SQL databases, so while it's technically possible to make a re-interpreter to change the layout, it's just not worth it.

It would be pretty good to get a new default style to the forums.
Maybe change the emoticons too. I'm tired of all these cookie monsters and stuff. What is this sesame street? NO!

But those are classic!
