Hi,

though the FUDforum layout is cluttered and the graphics are barely readable Smile


I agree with this point, .... visually impared users ....



I can't agree more, and so are nearly all of the users of our forum.

Not only visually impaired users, but also users with healty eyes complain about the current default and only theme of fudforum. The biggest problem is the low contrast, I guess.

Our forum is one where social and religous matters are discussed, so quite long messages are posted (Not just a link and many "thanks" messages like in a warez forum, for example). I'm sure there are many forums like ours.

Now, since it's not guaranteed that your custom theme will work in the next version of fudforum, perhaps at least the colors of the default theme may be changed as a solution Rolling Eyes ? Just a suggestion...

I don't like the phpbb style either, and actually I don't mind the color/layout of the fudforum, but that's mainly because I don't read the messages posted to our forum Smile I got this complain nearly from every member Smile

From an administrator point of view, I guess most of us choose fudforum due to its technical features. However, the users who will ACTUALLY USE the fudforum aren't interested in them at all, they just want a beautiful interface, and that's nearly the only thing they want (primarily).

I think either it should be guaranteed that your themes will work in all (at least minor) new versions of the fudforum and perhaps the themes made by other people should be added to source, or at least the default and the only theme should definitely be changed.

cya,
tufan


Personally I like the current design and have not heard many complaints about it. In fact most people seem to prefer it to the older FUDforum designs. That said if you can give me a better designs I'll certainly consider it.
