@Frostion It's not, that NodeBB isn't customizeable, it's that it's so customizeable you will have to edit a complete theme to edit it...
This means a lot of work for us, and since we're not getting paid for this, less freetime for us. -
@Frostion Let me be more precise. It would be possible to modify the theme as we like by copying it or whatever and linking it to nodebb manually...
This way we had full control of the design.
The problem I don't want to deal with is the part after that. We'd need to keep the design up to date. Patch problems on our own.
Currently if we have a problem I can open an issue at the repository and in a short amount of time they either fix it on their own, or I create a small PR after them telling me what to do...
(Nice people the developers)This is the main reason I don't want to fiddle around with the templating code
-
@Frostion a new header design is also possible if someone wants to work on one.
-
@Frostion Also it would be nice to flesh out the sides and bottom I would love to hear ideas from you and all. Its our new home thus all should help and contribute.

Hi - I think that the current layout is good for me.
-
I think the forum setup with a category called “Maps & Mods” with two sub categories “Maps & Mods” and “General Discussion” should be replaced. I don’t think people will use the sub categories, especially the General discussion.
I would say Keep “Maps & Mods” for specific map and mod posts. Scrap the two sub categories. Add a new upper category called “Map Making”. This could be a replacement for the map general discussion sub category. And maybe placed before maps & mods.
Maybe the categories could be:
Announcements
Help & Questions
General
Map Making
Maps & Mods
Play By Email
Tournaments (with its sub categories)Map maker of: Star Wars: Galactic War + Star Wars: Tatooine War + Caribbean Trade War + Dragon War + Age of Tribes + Star Trek: Dilithium War + Iron War + Iron War: Europe + Warcraft: War Heroes
-
@Frostion Np ill try to get it setup tomorrow.
-
@Frostion Maybe you could find a thumbnail image ya like for map making?
I hope this looks the way ya wanted let me know. -
Nice! I think this will work well. Maybe you could add some helpfull text under the names, like:
Map Making
Discuss the technicalities of map making and XML editing.
Maps & Mods
Help out, share ideas and work on specific Maps and Mods.Here are three images for thumbnails that might look good. Canyou choose the background of a thumbnail if it is transparent?

@Frostion I like most of them. The background is a separate color.

Looks great
But can someone tell me why I don't get any email notifications when someone writes in a thread i posted in? I have checked the thing i settings about me wanting to receive notifications. Does it work for you guys? I better look in my spam folder.Map maker of: Star Wars: Galactic War + Star Wars: Tatooine War + Caribbean Trade War + Dragon War + Age of Tribes + Star Trek: Dilithium War + Iron War + Iron War: Europe + Warcraft: War Heroes

@Frostion i haven't got it on for me. I just loggin when i have time and check notifications here. But ya let me know cause it should work through the email settings in your profile. Maybe its going to spam? you could be correct.

@Frostion Also what background color do you suggest for that thumbnail?
-
@Frostion Although it should do that automatically, you need to click on the bell below and subscribe to this topic...
It's working for me... -
@prastle its says watching with a bell
-
I can see that my hotmail had the mails set as junk. So it works, but apparently hotmail sees the address as junk per default.
Nice to know what that bell is for.
I have no personal preferences about specific background color of category images, even though I would think that different colors for all categories would look best, and also help people surf more easily. The color choices should maybe based on what color would make the specific picture stand out the most and also not be the color of another category, or at least not another category listed just above or below with the same color.

@Frostion
This is a great idea imo. I never really knew for sure where I should post questions in the old forum. Even if they were dumb ones : ) -
@Frostion Nice additions frostion looks great any thoughts on the links section?
