A new SRF

Vaya · Post by **Vaya** » Thu Mar 28, 2013 3:45 pm

This is a concept I made with photoshop, but can be turned into forum theme with some CSS knowledge.
thoughts?

I do like the design but I like the loading times on this website, and more images most likely won't help (depends on how it's coded)

I like it alot!

No like : X
It's too busy and drop down menus for subforums = BAD.
I'm also not a big fan of the colour scheme and fonts :/ (mainly the top part)

The chaoticness might go away/down if you remove the transparent parts.
But I think the main problem of this design is that it's designed around looking cool rather than being a functional forum.

It doesn't look that bad.

I like it, who uses anything besides the view active topics button anyway.

Vaya · Post by **Vaya** » Thu Mar 28, 2013 6:32 pm

hmmm

would ryoko consider changing the theme anyway?

Bartic · Post by **Bartic** » Thu Mar 28, 2013 6:39 pm

It looks good, but I doubt he'll change the theme.

Mayumi · Post by **Mayumi** » Thu Mar 28, 2013 8:01 pm

Looks lot better then this template..

Should add this to your revised version. Just as Ryoko has done.

Me. I just click on the sections that are yellow and click on the unread post button on the threads.

"view new posts" <- on every forum I ever visited.

That looks pretty cool, i'd prefer dark one ;d. I still use SRF Dark lol.

Except for like ever now, the top green bar and couple buttons have been a mishaped cut off tinypic image not here msg.

There's also that greasemonkey script to make the side bar navigation move while scrolling pages, by stealmysoda.

Needs less huge Silkroad pictures.

w00t · Post by **w00t** » Fri Mar 29, 2013 1:28 am

this forum will always be known as that one forum that once was used for silkroad

I vote for OTL.com

That avatar, you've had that forever?

Looks cool, but I really like the almost vanilla template for this forum. Fast, easy, and simple.

Maybe cause I'm just a hipster

inky · Post by **inky** » Fri Mar 29, 2013 6:24 am

I like the classic SRF look. Not too trendy but who gives..

Post by **cin** » Fri Mar 29, 2013 6:42 am

the only thing i'd really be interested in would be making
the forum more mobile-friendly, not so much more fancy. i have
always really liked the simple look and feel of srf anyway

edit: with mobile friendly i mean something like this

- start screen is just all subforums (left hand menu)
- clicking a subforum opens the last 10 posts
- clicking it again will open the entire subforum
- clicking a post will open the post

- filtering out all signatures but keeping all avatars
- only a quick reply feature, not the whole editing screen

but that's just my 2 cents. i'd make a start on something like
that, have been thinking of doing so, but haven't had the time

strangelove made an interesting theme too a few years ago. I'd be down for some little changes.

Mirosuke · Post by **Mirosuke** » Fri Mar 29, 2013 7:42 am

Good concepts but I highly doubt SRF template gonna change...

sneaky · Post by **sneaky** » Fri Mar 29, 2013 8:01 am

That won't ever change

I agree with your assessment of the existing SRF as well as your suggestions for a mobile friendly version....you sir are a visionary...

Is your posting style for increased mobile-friendliness as well?
