Alright so I've made a few changes to the look and feel of the forums.
Everyone should now be on a dark retro-ish Geek Forum-style theme. If anything is broken let me know in this thread. Also... I couldn't resist re-installing the shoutbox. What the hell.
Some of you guys might have to update your bookmarks.
geekforum.org now redirects directly to http://www.geekforum.org/index.php?action=forum which is the URL for the forum index.
gotthegeek.com now redirects to http://www.geekforum.org/index.php which is a Slashdot-like home page where articles can be posted and certain threads can be "promoted" to the main page.
Update your bookmarks accordingly depending on how much BS you want yourself to be exposed to. By combining things this way I can just focus on one site rather than two. Half the trouble, double the fun. I think.

So far so good with the theme. Everything seems to be working for me. I like it. :mrgreen:

Concur. Indeed.

There are still a few minor quirks I want to work out but overall not bad for a free theme.
-
Honestly, I hate the theme and want the option to change it back. I understand the appeal of dark themes, but black & yellow? What is this, a construction company?
The sidebars bug the shit out of me - but those I can hide.
And unless I'm blind, I don't see a way to participate in the shout box. Must be an admin-only thing.

Ahh, I missed that check box for allowing user to select their own themes. Yous should be good to go now.
I'll check out the shot box issues... thanks for the heads up!
Edit: I think we're good on the shot box issue, too.

I don't see how to add to the "Shoutz" either.

Thanks, Chris. Truth be told, these are all terrible themes, but at least the blue ones don't make me want to rip out my eyes.

LOL! I know what you mean. I'm tempted one day to edit the CSS to mimic the old school Hcker Network theme from the early 2000s. To be honest, SMF really isn't the most user friendly, so we'll see what happens.

Anyone else being redirected to the error page upon logging in? Or does it redirect right to the forum index?

Takes a second, but redirects to the forum.

When I log in I'm getting an "article cannot be found" page. It stays there, doesn't redirect. I can then click "forum" at the top and go to the forum index, but otherwise it just stays on the error page.

Ugh, let me check this out.
