Well, I could've made an userscript and modify it in less than a minute

One thing that didn't seem to get imported was the old records of donations. Currently it only lists the ones that have been made since the upgrade. No idea if this matters to anyone (It doesn't to me - but some heavier donors might) or if it's anything even possible to bring back.
I haven't really encountered any bugs. I think the icons for awards could be tweaked, as others mentioned the color background is different on some - some are gold and some are transparent.
Overall, I think things look really sleek and smooth. Nothing about the site to me is detrimental to my experience on the forums, and everything works well. The colors are easy on my eyes, so I can't complain there.

There might be some files on the server with said records but... it's a completely separate donation addon, the other one was end of life and the guy never updated it.

beyond adjusting the odd color here and there for contrast/readability and finding a decent background, this is the look of the forum.

Whatever the container width is right now is pretty comfy.
EDIT: It's really bothering me that my username overflows a single letter to the next line lol. Is it possible to shrink the font size if it would overflow?

because this is one of the things where there's no one-size-fits-all bc it's all based on user preference
and in the vast majority of cases, ours including this means default is based on admin preference.

Yeah, I really doubt anyone cares much either way, but I figured I'd just mention it. I know in the past some people had made some larger donations and racked up some pretty impressive donation numbers, so I didn't know if it mattered to them or not.
so here's the deal
we could hire a professional designer or something but ... we ain't paying for that.
so if you want something fancy akin to our old theme ... well, go hit that donate button
i have a full copy of our last(-ish) xf1.5 database & files archived.
should one of those guys return from the grave and inquire about something like that i'll look into it and see what i can get done
(the donation & top donor badge remain, so there's that)

I'll add it to the list of things to take a look at.
Barring that, paid name changes are coming soon
our current policy of free namechanges (once) for users w/ more than three years of service will remain, ofcI'll add it to the list of things to take a look at.

Neat! That solves any issues there. Like I said, not something I really am really bothered with. Always down to throw some money here and there at the site and do what I can to help the place out. Clearly that's something that many others share in mind, given how fast the funding for the upgrade happened. A lot of changes over the years, some good, some bad (we know who), but overall the place is home.
Plus, most of the insufferable ones have moved on.
yeah soz that
stuck around :selaflushed:
