    No f'in way are we losing the Cloud skin. I've been using this skin since odd-four and I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before i recognise Missoura!

    It's a piece of piss to style the new menu.

    We arent getting rid of anything, I'm just saying we probably wont "upgrade" them with future UI goodness (if any).

    I'm hoping 4.0 or 4.1 will make all of this redundant with over-ridable styles anyway but who knows...

    The Minimalist cannot be touched.
    It's the exact same colour as the software I use in work, hence at a glance, it looks like I'm working.

    Yup.
    I saw that comment.

    But, you know when you've knocked someone to the ground, you sometimes have to get a few extra kicks in just to drive the message home.

    TBH, we'll have to see what happens when vBulletin 4.x comes out. I wouldn't be surprised if the skins were not backwards compatible. Jelsoft (the people who make vBulletin) are promising a rather comprehensive set of changes for 4.x so I wouldn't be surprised if the skinning functionality was changed radically enough to prevent us from using our current ones.

    Obviously we'll try to minimise the impact and accommodate as many people as possible but I can't guarantee that all skins can make the jump.

    Hopefully they will be allowing the control over the colours being passed to the user, then everyone can have their own skin/style/css...

    That would be ossim! :)

    Indeed I did!

    Of course, if you'd like to port over the skins I'm sure we'd take them (provided of course that you'd be willing to support them in perpetuity). :)

    i always end up going back to the default boards skin. But any newness is always checked out.

    Id love to see an option to add little bookmarks on the blank white space (like facebook does)

    Rough translation: if you're willing to do the bulk of the work, "can't" might become "can".

    Guess there's no point working on 3.x skins 'til vbulletin4 comes out then.
    And it actually looks reasonably simple reading this. I mean, even someone like me could give that a bash.

    Update with confirmed bugs:
    • Firefox: Hovering from a menu on to an adjacent input or textfield breaks the "off hover" event handling, making the menu appear to "stick". This can be resolved by hovering back over the menu or to another menu item. No known solution yet.
    • Chrome: Occasionally, a warning message will display saying "[noparse]Hi! Your browser won't show this page properly :( Please try our legacy theme instead![/noparse]". A potential fix for this has been deployed, so if the warning is still spotted, please report it!
    • All Browsers: Positioning problems; the menu overlaps information and that information is partially misaligned on the "showpost" page, not enough space between menu and content on front pages, title/logo is positioned incorrectly, somewhat evident in IE. Will be fixed.

    sorry if this is answered already, but how do i change back to the default skin? can't find the menu in this new menu system.
    it's not where it was in the default one.

    I'm on Safari if it makes any difference.

    edit: never mind, found a way of doing it from the very bottom left hand corner of the page.

    Something I just noticed there, if you go to edit avatar from the boards.ie dropdown tab in the menu it brings you to the edit signature page.

    edit: BTW nice job on the menu, really liking it.

    Just got a the message :
    "Hi! Your browser won't show this page properly :( Please try our legacy theme instead! Reported width: 1268 pixels. Reported height: 308 pixels."

    Using FF 3.0.1 on OS X 10.5.7 and, as far as I can tell, the menu works fine.

    Have only seen the message once, wasn't there on the next page I visted.

    Was your window actually those dimensions?

    If the width is less than 800 pixels or the height is less than 400 pixels you'll get that message.

    Just a quick point regarding the layout of the forums themselves in the menu. In some cases the heading starts at the bottom of one column in that catagory start at the top of the next.

    menu1.png

    It happens a few other times too. It might be better just for asthetic purposes more than anything to skip a line so that the heading is directly above it's subforums.

    No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't. Width is probably right but the window was full height.

    Strange. As I said, it's only appeared for me once and I've been using the new menu theme since it was available.

    If it pops up again I'll let you know.

    Using the new menu with the find a forum locked in place, I notice that whenever I click on a "go to first unread post" link in a forum, I amways need to scroll up slightly to read the first line and the poster name as the new menu is blocking it. Looks like the offset needs a slight adjustment.

    Apologies if this has been reported before. Liking the new menu.

    ANy chance you could up the contrast between the bullet point graphic and the white background? I can just about see it is there but it would be a lot more enjoyable using the menu if the bullet points were that bit more visible.

    I like how the menu's float in different ways based on their widths, good work, lots of excellent work being done here.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
