Ok, I've tuned the stylesheet on CarbonCopy (default theme) heaps today.

All the forms and dropdowns appear dark now... shouldn't be any blinding white left.

If you find any colours that just aren't working, like black on black, please, let me know, grab a screenshot if you can & PM it to me.

Enjoy folks!

Thanks to the good feedback of Grish, I have updated all the post icons to more clearly display what's read and unread, etc.

These are the same icons we were using on the SimpleDark family of themes, although they were originally created from scratch by me from a photo that I heavily photoshoped.

Enjoy.

The MTA & SAMP server monitor is now based on LGSL 4.6 by Richard Perry - modified by me ([DRuG]NikT).

The new version is database driven & has a nice management backend, unlike the previous version, which was just a bunch of flat files to edit. The server info screens are a little more detailed, too.

Enjoy.

Echo, the author of the CarbonCopy theme, has given our customization of his work the thumbs up. It's always good to know the author is happy with your use of his work.

Just updated lastRSS agregator for phpBB3 to 2.0.0RC by Smix .

This is one of my fave mods for phpbb.. the current release is the stable and is packaged with a main icon made by me. I have been conversing with the author, and he liked my icon, so there you go! Famoose.

The new version isn't really all that different from the previous, especially for us, since we had this icon on the previous release, though it was only on ours at that stage.

Just updated OTF Gallery 0.5.1 by Mighty Gorgon.

The new version has meant reorganizing the galleries to suit the new layout.. originally I was updating this one to move away from a problem in internet exploder 7 - but the problem remains - I'll have to mess with the style sheets or report the bug. **edit** found it already reported & applied the noted fix.. all working fine now.

New version also seems to work a little better.. biggest pain was the images have all moved, so I had to go through every reference to them on the forums and alter them to suit the new syntax/locations... suxxx.. but they're all perfect now. A new feature available in this version is the ability to upload images to the gallery when making a post, them have them included in the post, auto-thumbnailed. It also has a slideshow feature, but it doesn't work correctly for me, though I may mess about with it later and see what I can do.

If you've remotely referenced any of the gallery images, you may want to update your links.

*edit* and a test of the new gallery submission feature - a picture of my dad's boat..

I've just updated the LGSL main server list on the forum index to include server totals and add a feature that was discussed on the release forum, allowing you to toggle the meta refresh (live server updates) on and off... this may be handy to people that didn't like the way the forums 'flicked' every 30 seconds when they updated.

Toggling the autorefresh on will now set the update rate at 20 seconds, but should begin with default setting of autorefresh off.

Well, I've just updated the forums here to phpbb 3.01 "Olympus" ... everything seems to have gone smoothly. If anyone notices anything broken, please let me know.
