It's the one that's currently up and running. Please let me know what you think of it. Do you like it? Would you like to try it out for a week? Do you not like it? Let me know. Cheers. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Jay Theriot I think it's got too much white with it. But, I hate change, so I'm probably not the one to ask. It's fine to me, though. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Jay Theriot The top white bar is overriding text in the top blue bar. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken Yeah, it's quite white. Another problem is that it don't work (autofit) very well with 4:3 monitor, as the middle section become very narrow and the images and videos don't fit in. This issue also makes the "latest post" box use scrollers (up/down and sideways) which is very enoing. -Ken http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy Hey guys, thanks for the comments. Ok, the text at the top can be fixed. I did a lot of tests with themes yesterday and I feel that our site just goes well with "white". I got a message from Beer-Pedia saying that he loved this new theme. So the question I think comes down to the screen resolution problem. Ken is this theme not working on the resolution that you normally use? http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy ok, so if you use this website: -Website Link-you'll see that this theme works fine at 1024x768. And...according to this website: -Website Link- there are very few people now using 800x600 and below. I'm thinking as time goes on anything below 800x600 won't be used. What are you using Ken? http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy Ken wrote ...Yeah, it's quite white. Another problem is that it don't work (autofit) very well with 4:3 monitor, as the middle section become very narrow and the images and videos don't fit in.Ken, what is a 4:3 resolution? What do you use? http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken Geez, am I that old!? The resolution is fine and have nothing to do with the issue I told about. I can go much higher, but my monitor is an old 19", 4:3 format, and not the newer 16:9 flatscreens, so if the theme don't have the ability to auto correct to different types of monitor screen sizes, everyone like me, will have problems with this theme. It's sad that we can't find another theme which differ from the, sorry to say, shitty facebook colours, I just hate those colours, but thats just me I guess. Just thought we should be more special, but no worry guys, I can live with it -Ken http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy Ken, did the last theme auto correct itself? I know you don't like these colors, but when I try a black theme, it just doesn't seem to work as well. Let's try this one a few more days to see what everyone else thinks. I find this one looks more up to date than the last and the text is cleaner. Just a little change. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy Oh, also, I tried out about 10 new themes yesterday and they all had problems. This one is probably the best I could find. It's very difficult to find a good theme with 3 columns that works with our site. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken Well, I rather not interfere with this theme thinggy discussion, as I don't like the colours and also think it now looks more like a web-block site and not as much as a forum anymore.Yes, the old one fit my screen size and I did not have to scroll in or any boxes or panels. But eventually everyone will be using wide/flatscreen, even me. -Ken http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken Ok, Iam trying out some other resolutions to see if it fits better and sure it dos, but now the letter are so small I can't see them..lol.. I need to buy a new monitor!-Ken http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken New screenshot:Much better than the first one!-Ken http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken Ok, Iam going with 1280x1024, use some googles and see if I can get used to it...lol..-Ken http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy Lol so you kind of like it now huh? http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken Beside the colours, yes. Don't look like a web-block anymore. -Ken http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy I'm using a 1024x768 and it looks fine to me. Blue is my favorite color. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy Well I'm glad you can tolerate it Ken! http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken Andy wrote ...I'm using a 1024x768 and it looks fine to me.

I guess you have a widescreen monitor then.I like blue too, but not facebook blue though, thought we was better, more independant. hehe.. -Ken http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken Andy wrote ...Well I'm glad you can tolerate it Ken!Lol, like you would have done anything about that old friend. -Ken http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy Lol I always hate changing themes. Let try it for a few days and then decide. How's that for democracy? http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken Andy wrote ...Lol I always hate changing themes.

My 2 cents. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken I agree on the very little beer feeling. -Ken http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy eManu, I've used the PM and it seems to work fine for me. I agree it doesn't look very "beery", but its really no different than the last theme is it? I may be able to tweak it a little to get it more "beery" looking. Thanks for the comments. I again want to tell you guys that I tried many themes and there are very few out there that work with three columns, which is what we need for this site. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy Well guys, Beer-Pedia discoved that the RSS Feeds weren't working anymore and it turned out to be because of the new theme we were using. I had to switch back to the old theme. Not sure if this can be fixed but I want the feeds to work. Sorry about that. I'm sure some of you are glad we are back to the old theme. Oh well. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Jay Theriot Technology! http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Beer-Pedia RSS Feed works now! http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy Yes, after I switched back to this theme they worked again. I also resubmitted our site to "Alltop". http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Beer-Pedia OK, nice http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy I'll remove one tab. I had added two. Let me know if it still overlaps. Thanks. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 eManu It looks like there's a tab overlaping, "News" being in the middle, is that normal? http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Jay Theriot I noticed that right off. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy I removed one tab, does it still overlap? http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Ken It's fine by me now... -Ken http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 eManu no its fine now. http://www.thebeerinme.com/tbimplugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?17882 2013-05-22T19:32:31-07:00 Andy Ok thanks!
