To Do: Build New Theme

Need to build a new theme for the site. I like the basic layout of this one so it is likely to be close but with colors and images to make it more like the old one.

Yeah, it needs a darker color, and to look less... crappy. I don't know, but maybe a dark background might not hurt my eyes as much.

Ah, the site already has its first Necro-post. This is an exciting occasion.

I agree that it is too bright. Strangely, other people like bright. I'll have something new up soon.

Bright is bad. I would prefer that my eyes don't get any worse, since they already impair my fighting.

New Theme

New theme is underway. It shouldn't affect the site until I'm done, but if the site disappears for some reason, just reload it in a few minutes and it should be OK.

Can you put a "back to top"

Can you put a "back to top" button in the forums...or perhaps something at the bottom where you can return to the forum page? I'm lazy and don't like scrolling up or hitting my backspace button multiple times.

That's crazy talk.

Dark

Dark enough for you?

I think I'm going to use this theme as a starting point, so layout will stay more or less like this but colors are likely to get switched around a bit.

I am irritated that it isn't working correctly with the image gallery, but that is hopefully an easy fix.

Also the basic navigation menu will move to the header bar, but I have to make some modifications due to that being shared between all the sites.

Also going to to turn off the avatar images for the first post when doing a full view of a post since there is now a fancy "About the author" box up top anyway.

Testing fancy quotes (blockquote tag) while I'm at it.

I hid a little back to top button down by the copyright info. I'll get a proper one set up after I start modifying this theme.

Gallery issue

Gallery issue is fixed along with a few items that weren't clearing properly.

Floating table headers are still misbehaving.

Looks like tab menu items will have to be hard coded, which isn't too bad since they won't change often.
