Hello, you have a great forum that I absolutely wanted to have for my personal website after stufying the free forums market. Now I got to work and create a new theme for the forum and I ran into a thing that seems a bit strange for the design.

Don't you think that forum names could use different class than all other GenLinks, because while those look quite nice when using small font-sizes, the same font-size seems a bit too small for the forum name, while for the topics inside the forum it's more or less ok? Categories does have a separate style class for use, why not forum names?

I kinda like the current fotn sized, BUT you can easily modify index.tmpl template and use a different style for forum names.

OK, that's great, I found where I should change this, but this does mean I should use one of existing style classes? Because otherwise the forum.css is rewrited each time on compiling and even one of supposed classes (UserControlPanel) is not included in this (as I reported in bugs forum and this class isn't present till now even in your own forum.css file here), so should I rewrite the forum.css manually if I want to include another class or could I add it into forum.css.tmpl and if yes, how to do in sort that it gets included in the compiled forum.css as well as supposed UserControlPanel? I'm kinda new to PHP and cannot yet understand how those sections are added to the final forum.css file.

I understand that probably this would move that theme rather to how-to forum, but can I indeed add a new class into templates so that on rebuild it gets automatically included into forum.css and I don't have to add it there manually after each rebuild?

forum.css is a generated file, you should be modifying the template, forum.css.tmpl

But if I simply add let's say

{SECTION: forum_link style of forum links}
a.ForumLink {
font-family: "Comic Sans MS", cursive;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}
{SECTION: END}

to the forum.css.tmpl

Will that be *enough* to add such a section (a.ForumLink) in the generated forum.css (so that I could use this class in the index.tmpl)? And if not, where else I should specify this section name to get it included in the compiled forum.css automatically. That is what I wanted to know.

Almost, you also need to add
{TEMPLATE: forum_link}
to the FORUM_CSS template.

Wow! Thanks! That's really great to be able to add my own class and to have such generous about explanation developers! You steal my heart Smile

Now I see why your user_control_panel style SECTION doesn't get included into forum.css too and can fix it for myself before your next release guessingly fixed 'bout that lil omission Very Happy
