Look at the very bottom of the member list page for the subsilver-type styles.

OMG, I thought you guys were having a joke, THERE REALLY IS A OMG!!! PONIES!!! STYLE.
What sick, sick person made it, oh it's a girl, I guess that makes it acceptable...
Jules

P.S. Setting it as my default :lol:

edit: I have to say, it's quite a confusing style, it took me quite some time to reverse it back to my default (For the moment blackbox_blue, I quite like it...)
@chase: Why did you add it?, are you seriously keeping it?

OFF COURSE he is keeping it! Are you suggesting he get RID of the 'OMG! Ponies' theme?

@chase: Obviously suthers had a temporary loss of mind. We're all together on keeping it, right? 8-[


Seriously though, it's an awesome theme.

Well I was joking initially and then Alboin asked for it so I gave it to him :)

I had actually already found this style when I was testing out every style I could find. Originally it was a Hello Kitty theme, I just threw together a logo to make it "OMG Ponies". Here's the original http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/K_Kitty?phpbb=3.0.1

So far every time I look in the admin control panel at least one person is using it :)

I notice you didn't add your name to the list of designers for the style :lol:

The new site is great and I thank you chase for all your hard work. So far there is only 1 little thing I wanted to comment on. Right now I've kinda grown found of the blackbox_blue theme and really like it, but it is almost ridiculously hard to see the author of a post. I have to look at the monitor straight on in order to read it. I'm really not that upset about it and I don't want you to go out of your way to change it if I'm the only one with this problem, but maybe if its not only me then it might be worth looking into (if its a 1 line change that's easy to find.) If it author name was the same color as the post text then it would be so much easier to read.

Is there any way to get the last modified post shown on the index? I rather liked that. I can't seem to find it now, or maybe I'm just blind.

I would like to point out one more time:

I clearly recall that the prior forum page design had a link to the wiki at the top of each page, because I used it a lot.
It was small, before. Not particularly noticeable. (I still think that making it a bit more noticeable would be wise, to nudge as many idio ... ooops ... I mean ... charming newbies into going there as possible.)

But I hope that little wiki link will be coming back.

Ditto, I want that.

Also, the buttons below each post.. (Profile/PM etc..) are really weird coloured under the Megatokyo theme, can those be.. fixed? ;)

Also, this might be a bug in Firefox 2.. but the title of the forum doesn't show up.. it remains "Mozilla Firefox", and if I visit a site prior to coming here the titlebar retains the previous title. :?

I had the same problem under firefox 2..., just upgrade to firefox 3 that will fix it (It's great by the way, faster, more ergonomic and looks better...) (I don't know about the MT style bug, haven't used that style in ages..., in fact I haven't used it since I was on MT :lol: )

Ah, well at least I know it's a firefox issue.... as for going to Firefox 3, I can't.. it's not ported yet.

Last post title on the index page now. (for every single theme, including ponies)
Swapped the color on the ponies logo so it's all pink. (Don't lie, the 2 of you sticking with ponies appreciate it)

I'll add the wiki links back in in a week or two when I get a little more free time. I need to make little graphics to fit in with every theme and go digging in the templates.

I will also work on mtDark2 when I get some time. Probably 2 weeks since I think we've got enough styles to get you guys by for now.

FF2 titlebar stuff works fine for me.

I'd like to raise the issue of people using black backgrounds on their avatar pics. It conflicts horribly with my OMG!!! Ponies!!!
