Forums Visual Overhaul
Hi, we're currently working on visual overhaul for forums and would like to gather some of your thoughts / showcase what we've got so far.
This thread (and this post in particular) will be receiving updates as we add more stuff.

You can also try it yourself by enabling "Modern" forum skin in User CP options: https://forum.toribash.com/profile.php?do=editoptions

Base theme will be dark but we'll also be making a light one based on it once it's finished.
You'll still be able to use current default styling (forums only) if you wish.

Some misc info:
- New visuals are built with Bootstrap.
- All pages scale accordingly to your device screen size. On some pages, that would also hide less important information for devices with smaller screens (see screenshots below).
- Fonts we use are Roboto, Roboto Condensed for top navigation and Badaboom.
- We want to bring back post voting/rating system.
- Search is now available for all users who can make posts.
- Social groups and Competitions modules have been disabled due to their redundancy.

Forum Home



Board view



Thread view



Member.php



User CP




Some details on breadcrumbs:
Breadcrumbs (top dark bar with "Toribash Community / Toribash / ..." text) is always visible and will stick to top of your screen both in desktop and mobile mode. In mobile, it's also used to hold a button to open main navigation menu.
Quick search will search for threads or posts within forum section, board or thread you're currently viewing. For example, searching "Overhaul" from forum home, News board and this thread will give you three different results. If you want to apply custom search settings, choose "Advanced search" option from the right breadcrumbs dropdown menu. When viewing user's page (member.php), it will search for the user under specified name.

the postbit needs to be revamped imo. Also, the dark theme is just a little bit "too" dark. Is there a reason the user info doesn't float the same way it does on legacy?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I think most things that undergo such drastic changes will make you go "I want the old one back" at first, but this is really an amazing change, I really like the modern theme in light mode, great job sir!
Поменяйте стиль, с телефона сидеть не удобно, от слова очень

Userinfo part, what exactly do you mean? If you have any suggestions regarding postbit, go ahead.

Did some fixes to light theme, we never really got to make it good so I'll likely keep tweaking it in future.

Check your cookies, make sure you don't have any old forum.toribash.com cookies (those with tb5 prefix).
I like it...but it's not displaying post backgrounds? Whatever they're called. Like I'm pretty sure you have one sir. I imagine if some who payed for that they won't be happy that it doesn't work w new theme...
nice tho

edit: and i'm still getting the bug where new lines are removed on posting, but no double posts yet and fast load times so that's cool.---
