If I get a new PM, will the messages tab get a (1) on it, or do I actually have to click the tab to see my inbox to know if I have a new message or not?
I just got one and yeh you get a (1) next to it.

Only thing is you use to get a popup notification and that didn't happen

it's so bad on my phone, I can't read anything. it's one word a line, our names and DP and that take up 95% of the screen. computer was alright from what I can remember

Yeh it's so damn crowded on my phone

Monty said something about there being a mobile skin though? Not sure how I would access that

m0nty

I'll be the first to admit that the mobile skin is ugly. Functional, but ugly.

Did you consider any other SMF themes at all m0nty? I was just having a look through the wide range of options, a lot look much better than this one.

Is it possible to have a lighter red background used on the Board. It is very dark and hard to read headings.

This one is based on the OverviewLight theme, which is minimalist which is the style I prefer. If you want to suggest a better one, be my guest.

The colour scheme can be changed depending on your account options from the main site.

Ah okay.

Something like this, this or even this is pretty simple and would be good enough.

Not saying to specifically use any of the three hyperlinked above, but they're general examples of what I think would look a bit better.

I personally like the bolder, more colourful ones, but those ones above are probably more suited.

Phone layout almost unusable

I'm trying to keep the theme colour-neutral, as there is so much colour customisation available in the account options. A colourful one would mean changing all the colours in the theme to suit each team, which would produce unpredictable results (like those ugly blue headings).

Ah yeah, I didn't think of that.

I still feel there's gotta be a better option than the current one, however I'm not sure which one exactly, but you'd probably know what would suit and work best with the other aspects of the site (like the account stuff).

It just seem annoying and ads everywhere. Does FF Premium remove ads?

Who cares, PB? ABP does!

Kind of wish this was tested before being launched

What was the rush? Always better to perform testing to iron out all bugs and launch it new spot on the first time

Please change the font asap :) (Font that our posts are in is fine - all the fonts used on main forum section headers and thread headers need to be changed from TNR)
