HD Columbus Theme Updated

[Scott]

We've updated the theme for HD Columbus. The default is the Sand Liquid theme; however you can choose between Sand Fixed, Citrus Liquid, or Citrus Fixed. You can select your default theme by using the dropdown in the bottom left corner of the page.

By the way, I forgot to mention this earlier, for those who haven't messed with vBulletin before, you can change your theme to default to one of the choices above in your user profile options--otherwise, it will just change back to the default when you log out and log back in.

I just wanted to note my appreciation for all the hard work that has gone into the switchover to the new site. The pages are loading up quickly and the graphics look pretty nice. Also, the new logo is pretty cool. :)

Whoops, I voted for sand fixed and I ment to choose Sand liquid. Oh well.

I too love CSS. It's da bomb. Or so I've been told.

Sand Liquid (Default) - This board is looking much better then the grey text from earlier today. You are starting to sway me towards vBulletin :rolleyes:

Keep up the great work Scott!!!

MAKE ANOTHER ONE!!!

hehe...just kidding. I actually like both. I'm using Sand right now, but the citris is cool too. I like the new logo as well. You've been working hard.

It looks great!

Thanks for all the efforts in what seemed like a smooth transition (to us), you may have been pulling out your hair.

Thanks! The only real trouble was the timing. I kept hoping to have all of the maintenance complete before making the switch, but the import tests proved that vB would basically only allow one DB import--any others on top of it would hose the vB DB. Sooo, I had to make the decision to pull the plug on the old software for a few hours. It (thankfully) all came together okay.

Themes update:


I learned myself through adding a new link on the navigation bar for all skins. The new link is 'Home' and it will take you back to the main homepage. Also, while in the forum sections; i.e., members, calendar, new posts, etc., the HDCOLUMBUS logo at the top will always take you back to the main forum page.


I really didn't like the way the theme skins displayed the "last post by" information on the forum main page (you may have noticed a collapsable white bar under each category displaying the last post), it took up too much space vertically for an already long category page. So I hacked 6 files times 4 skins to give us the "last post by" the way we are accustomed to seeing them--in a cell to the right of the forum category. Let me know if you guys have any problems with it.
