This thread is for forum update discussion

One thing I have noticed with the new forum is its hard to distinguish which threads have been updated since your last visit. With most other forum software the threads that have been updated since your last visit have titles that are bolder than the others. Not a big issue, but when I open a forum it looks like all are new every time I come on, Its stressing me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wink

Some issues today?

MyBB SQL Error

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1053 - Server shutdown in progress
Query:
SELECT t.*, (t.totalratings/t.numratings) AS averagerating, t.username AS threadusername, u.username FROM mybb_threads t LEFT JOIN mybb_users u ON (u.uid = t.uid) WHERE t.fid='52' AND t.visible='1' ORDER BY t.sticky DESC, t.lastpost desc LIMIT 0, 20

Now that the new forum is up and running, we had to some mysql tuning to accomodate. Looks like we're much better off now.

So you want some fancy multicoulored hard to read forum?

Don't know if you have looked the xbmchub.com forum but that one looks just plain horrible

Agree with both of you... new forums could use more color but not to the point of xbmchub. Even if the XBMC logo had some color/style that'd help... the original screen shots of what the forums might look like had a better banner/logo.

Nice forum update, however it would be good to have a slightly darker theme.
It's eye-burning and too bright.

Gotta second that - will check with Da-anda who's done an amazing job on the forum move to MyBB!

Any word on this, by chance?
