I'll be testing more appearances... I want us to be set as apart from other forums as possible!

Cool.can we have Manchester United colours please Victor ?? :-)

Perhaps we should get rid of the "Blue" colored appearance, as there are too many "cats" in blue already...

Yeah yeah thank you ....we wont go there......lol

I'll work with the best-looking, but don't worry, I'll make sure text is readable :blush2:
We have a winner. Now onto the coding hat for the " personal touch".
It looks familiar enough, yet easy to distinguish. I love it.
You the man V!

MegaPolis theme - This is my favorite so far. The only change (if it's possible) that I'd like to see if this were the one chosen is to make it so that when you're typing a reply (like I am now) that the background color for the text input box be changed to white. Right now it's grey and it's very difficult to see what words I'm typing as it is black text against a grey background.
RJ, heavy customization in progress.
Keep on requesting guys. I have my own idea on what to modify, but as always I'm open to listening! The forum is for you :)
Can we please have a bigger space for "Recent Posts" on the homepage as we did last time?
TSK
Surely this is a nightmare and when I return next time the forum will be back to normal :o :o :o
M :o r :o C :o h :o i :o p :o s :o
Many things back to normal (I.e. typing background as highlighted by RJ), but this look is here to stay mate. We don't want to be confused with other "cats" around :)

IT will be cool to change the whole board core to
PHPBB. If it's possible PHPBB v2 :thumbsup:
Victor.
When I look at the most recent posts.
I can't see what is written in the top part without highlighting it.

Lanky.
This new look is not clear.
Tweaking. It will all be properly readable, don't worry :)
Thanks for reporting.
This looks awesome, but how do we get into the chat room?
nolinks://vlsroulette.com/chat/
Still need to "mature" this new baby here. Plenty of buttons and links to add to the header and trying to make it readable at every space...
Getting there.
I do not like the new look :nono:!! The old was better!! Please return to the old!!

The title logo reminds me of the lettering used in horror movies!
The NIGHTMARE on VLS.roulette street continues :o :o :o :(
M :o C :blink: i :swoon: p :stop: s :nono:
okay.... now that i had an better look it aint that bad!! But still prefer the old ook!!
VLS,
I think you have done a fine job.
My only suggeston would be to make the black bars that divide the sections on the main page much more narrow and perhaps navy blue so that they aren't distracting. I find my eyes are drawn towards these black bars and stripes. This makes posts more difficult to read in my opinion.
I think it still looks nice.
Regards,
Herb /.\
I agree with Herb, the section dividers are distracting. Otherwise, good job! :thumbsup:
One thing though, I can no longer see how to check PMs :-\
@ Herb
I agree mate
TSK
There was absolutely nothing wrong with the old look. We knew where everything was and it was very practical and presentable.
I will continue to refer to this so called new look as a NIGHTMARE :o :o :o

Are we better now? :)
Chips, Carlitos. Let me do my best in modifying.
Guys, from the administrative point of view the best thing is to stay the same for as long as possible, no need to put your coder hat on, always the same look, the easy way out for the administrator... yeeha! :D
But... This arises the question: Do we
really want to be stuck in time forever? Once customization is finished, I bet you guys are to get used to this look in a snap!
Let's give this a chance :) :yes:
Well, it starts to look much better now :good:

I see potential here and I'm willing to put the work.
Just need to make it much more readable, "background vs text" issue gone and some tweaks "here and there"...
(Besides the new tags are to be supported for this one)
We'll "get there". Keep the suggestions coming, I listen :)
Thanks for the input Victor!!
Carlitos!!
You are welcome mate.
Mixing "light" with "dark" schemes in a proper way is one of the sweetest challenges and I'm loving it!
Good work so far Victor, the old look is indeed very commonly used.
I'm looking forward to seeing the section icons back instead of these green arrows.
Keep up the customization!
Regards,
Marven
THE NEW LOOK ON THIS FORUM IS A NIGHTMARE
Victor,
It makes absolutely no sense to change something that worked perfectly well before these hideous changes.
Did you get a number of PM's or emails asking you to change the forum's LOOKS. I am going to guess the answer
is NO. What does "stuck in time forever" mean?
So if something works perfectly well, lets change it for the sake of what......?
Every post I make will start with the above as a reminder of what we used to have and are now faced with this hideous
impractical NEW LOOK :o :o :o
I am sorry to voice such strong comments, but thats the way I LOOK at it.
Mr Chips >:(

Hey Mr.Chips, ;)
Rpro's NEW forum had the same template as the old VLS. I assume Victor doesn't wish to be associated with that forum.
Hence the changes..... Simple as that..... :rtfm:
@ VLS
Luv the new VLSRoulette.com sign the font looks like it's a headline from the "The Daily Bugle" the paper of your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman.... 8)
Mr. Chips,
I set your username back to the old theme.
Please be aware some new features aren't to be available to you and you will be "stuck in time" with that forum look ;)

XMate, I'm glad you are liking it!
And yes, I do not want us to be associated to the point some people were wondering "if they were at VLS"... no no no...
Also count the money-maker-machine/forum to the list.
Working on that theme was the easiest one, but c'mon, stuck forever... :P
@Mr. Chips
Can you confirm you are getting the old look?
Thank you.

teemz/teemz.cgi?board=_master&forum=Roulette_Message_Board
"Teemz" was a cool message board software back in 1997, but it died.
(https://www.vlsroulette.com/proxy.php?request=nolinks%3A%2F%2Fimg7.imageshack.us%2Fimg7%2F2479%2Fteemz.jpg&hash=38e7fd6cc8ad608cfe4cbfc779789d7ee55e19c8)
As it is discontinued by now, hence users of teemz message board are "stuck in time".
Of course, in reality all you need to run a message board is a text-in/text-out engine, but it doesn't hurt for it to be more than raw text (IMHO).

I have'nt a clue what "old look" you are referring to, as it's still the same hideous LOOK!!!
Making changes concerning me using this forum is pointless.
Mr Chips >:(
THE NEW LOOK ON THIS FORUM IS A NIGHTMARE
xman,
So what if Rpro has a similar format to this forum, if someone copies this NEW LOOK it will presumably change again!
Mr Chips >:(
@Mr. Chips and everyone disgusted at the new theme.
Now people can choose their preferred forum Theme here:
nolinks://vlsroulette.com/profile/?sa=theme
Current Theme: Forum or Board Default (change) <- Click change
Hope this solves this issue with people who want to keep the old theme.
Does this serves purpose Mr. Chips? Now each and every user who doesn't like new forum look can revert :)
Just be certain of keeping your login active forever and that's it.

All I was saying was that I THOUGHT the reason for the change was because Rpro's forum had the same template.....
That's all, nothing more nothing less..... :whistle:
Victor even set your username to the "old" format.... :o
How more accommodating can the man be?
You have stated you don't like it fair enough, if you feel that strongly you have the option to vote with your feet.....
@Mr. Chips
Can you confirm you are finally getting old forum look?
Thank you. :)
THE NEW LOOK ON THIS FORUM IS A NIGHTMARE QuoteI do agree that if it ain't broken don't fix it
Number Six,
Exactly, It worked very well, no problems, and what have we ended up with now!

Victor,
OK, yes thankyou it has changed back, but is this a permanent solution?
Mr Chips
Keeping old core theme is opt-in for every member.

As long as we have this forum engine, yes, you will be able to have old forum look.

Thankyou again, it's great to be back home ;)

Next time instead of boicotting, just ask :)
Have a nice day mate.
