A few comparison pics I put up, so y'all can look at things side by side and see where things changed. (Click each image to pull them up in a new tab/window, to see the details more clearly.))

I don't care much for the bolder lines, but I like the bigger title texts more on my phone. On a computer, it can be too big. But on a phone, it's a welcome change.

First spoiler: The bigger title text just looks gross to me.
Second spoiler: The bigger, bolder lines are really distracting.

Not a fan.

[James Gryphon]

The lines aren't actually bigger, just darker (something like #000 or #333 instead of #BBB, so a pretty hefty difference).

I take it most people don't have any problems with the menu options?

[Søren]

What new options?

[James Gryphon]

There aren't any new ones. They're just larger.

@Banya: Hi Bny. Why're you up at 3:19 RST?

[Banya]

*is summoned*
I got out of work at 3 and after working I always feel wound up. I was supposed to be out at 2 but spent another hour forcing intoxicated students of the restrooms and out of the building.
"I'm sorry your friend is too drunk to walk, but it's twenty minutes past close, so you guys are free to enter the women's restroom and carry her out." "That or a police officer can carry her out." "Yeah you have a good night too."
"You didn't even come close to getting that in the toilet did you even try."
"No you cannot simply walk through the building after close. You can walk around the building."
"'We close at 2' doesn't mean pack your stuff up at 2. It means pack your stuff up at 1:50 and vacate the building by 1:59."
and so it goes.

What're you up to at 5am?

[James Gryphon]

I don't know yet; it's only 4:22!

I'm going through the CSS for the Experimental theme variant, trying to document the function of different code elements, as a precursor to doing more extensive work on it.

[Banya]

You ninja'd my DP.

Sweet. Some of that terminology escapes me, but I get the idea, I think. What changes are you going to make to it?

The avatar size is growing on me. I still think any larger would be too much, but I've gotten used to it now. It was just a big change. See what I did there. I had other points about the size change, but they're pretty irrelevant, so I discarded those thoughts. Fast or flashy gif avatars would drive me absolutely crazy, though.

[James Gryphon]

As far as the code goes, I want to do some of Jukka's proposals, like changing the colors of the lines between and around posts. I'd also like to clear out any "flab", code that doesn't do anything, that might be stuck in there now (after all my revisions). There seem to be more than a few things that I can't figure out what, if anything, they do.

It bugs me that there's no kind of timeline for the release of SMF 2.1. It looks like 2.1 is going to necessitate basically me remaking the "Redwall look" here from scratch. If I knew when it was going to be here, I could decide whether it's worth investing a lot of time into revising this theme for use now, or if I should save my time and energy for making the theme for the new version. I guess I pick up more experience with CSS either way, so it isn't totally a waste of time, but I hate the idea that I might be making changes that won't affect us for that much longer.

I'm glad to hear that you're gaining a taste for the avatars. Although everybody else seemed to like it, I wasn't keen on going into something like this with your disapproval.

Double-posting is a sin!

[Banya]

I'd like to see what the lines look like in different colours. That's an interesting idea.
I didn't mean to sound so disapproving about the avatars. It's one of the less significant changes you've made in your improvements to the forum but one of the most visually striking. I'm learning that it's true that the older one gets the more one becomes resistant to change. (Whatever I'm so young.)
I read what you said in the avatar topic on giving my thoughts great consideration, and it really hit me. Thanks a lot for that.
It's become your hobby to look for improvements you can bring to the forum and to work on your experimental theme. I wager you're going to keep experimenting with the theme anyway.
Oh, here's something. Maybe someone else brought it up and I completely missed it. When I try to click the white page icon next to the re: topic title on each member's post, the icon that makes it so that a link will direct to that post instead of the top of the page, it doesn't work. Is that just me?
