@jac thanks. Again, taking ideas from this site is in fact encouraged (and I’ll happily provide code and CSS to help anyone achieve that) but a complete replica isn’t very creative, and generally, not permitted without prior consent.

In fact, I’m considering writing a blog post on how to create a decent layout and colour scheme for a website, which will include hints, tips, tricks, etc - essentially, all the things I’ve learned over the years which remain key to this day when creating a website.

Many thanks, sounds like a good idea mate definitely!

The issue surrounding copying your site theme etc is absolutely understable, although for me I’ll 100% say that a few bits of css code changes and the plain theme is no more.

I think generally I’d never have achieved the simplest CSS change or known how to do or without the code shared earlier which I thank you for and of course hope to learn myself through the planned blog post.

I don’t mind if you want to make the changes under ‘phenomlab’ or if you want to post the code here and then I can add it into the code.

Many thanks

Hope the decorating is going well .

@jac It’s in the above post

Apologies!

Worked a treat! Many thanks again .

Am ok to keep posting little tweaks that I am looking to change?

Looking to change the font & number of read posts.

Looking to change this to blue white a white font and then as the posts are read it changes to yellow?

Is this something that is possible? I seem to remember it working out well on the last installation.

Many thanks.

I’ve actually found a screenshot of how grtit looked last time. The font etc and the bottom bar looked great!

Is there any way to change the member name colour on the quote? As this clashes with the colour.

Thanks .

@jac Sorry for late reply. You can use the below for this. I also noticed that the blockquote text was black, so the second line blockquote p will also resolve that.

blockquote a.plugin-mentions-user.plugin-mentions-a,
blockquote p {
    color: #ffffff;
}

No problem Mark

That’s worked a treat, thank you very much!

Although the bottom colour is a little dark for County still looked great

Off work today so hopefully I can achieve some more changes

@jac ok.

Is it the same font sorry?

Do you want me to choose something else?

I thought it looked a little bolder?

Many thanks

Is there any way to achieve a notification to let users know that the forum isn’t quite up to scratch yet etc?

Many thanks

[phenomlab]

@jac Do you want something like the banner that appears on this site at the top with a link to the welcome page ?

If so, this is simple html that can be added as a widget and placed anywhere you want specifically, or globally if you prefer.

Looks great, I did install the announcement plugin as I thought that would display an announcement at the top of the forum but I think it’s actually for something else.

[phenomlab]

@jac Yeah, I fell into that trap also. Let me know what you want the banner to display and I’ll provide the code and placement.

Apologies, I haven’t seen this until now. I’m more than happy to go ahead and use the code with a blue background with white writing as long as you are ok with it?

I just want to let users know the forum is new and far from finished .

[phenomlab]

@jac Ok. Provide me with some text you’d like, and I’ll update the site for you

Do you remember how to remove the quote area out of the slider at all Mark?

I remember it being done last time.

Thanks .

@jac Try this

.recent-card-body blockquote, .recent-card-body blockquote p {
    background: none;
    color: #000000;
    border-left: none;
}
.recent-card-body blockquote:after {
    border: none;
}
