Forums Visual Overhaul
Hi, in the next few months we're planning to update how forums look and make them feel less 2000-y.
What would you like to see visuals-wise, what new features do you want to have added? Dark theme or light theme?
Some forums we've been looking at in search for ideas:
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/ - my personal favorite, good general design and colors, forum home sucks but thread display is nice. Too minimalistic for Toribash but there's definitely a way to keep current customizations we provide with VIP and clan stuff without making it feel cluttered.
https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/forums - closer to classic display but posts display is super bad imo. Color scheme also sucks.
https://forums.warframe.com/ - not a bad look overall

getting to the level of the osu! forums would be so much effort, that's the nicest shit ive seen in a long time
of the ones in OP, blizz forums are definitely the best listed - warframe is way too minimalist and fortnite's colours suck so badly although the design is so-so
as long as you avoid the overdeveloped mess of something like gearbox's forums should be gucci
people will want a dark theme as optional though

Will this change bring around https and perhaps some fixes to the out of date, and very vulnerable, php?
I guess what dare was meaning by ads would be event ads? But yeah I don't think anyone would like that.
Is there any possibility of users using external css? Or is that beyond vb's functionality?
HTTPS would be a great thing to add, since most if not all modern sites have it incorporated.
I brought up the php issue before but no one ever said anything. lol
