It also, for example, will allow to keep information of mod on left side and the Mod`s logo on the right.

Another simple, but very usefull ability is a align. Why there is no such simple feature?

Is there an ability to do this?(in this forum or in new)

Any web designer knows that tables should not be used for formating.

Why tables for layout is stupid

One thing I'm sure many people don't care about since they don't know how convenient it is: phpBB has much better feeds than the current forum. The current one only follows new topics, not new posts in existing topics.

So... WHEN would "the switch" happen?

*offtopic*
There's a list of "why divs layouts are bad" reasons too.
Also there's a list of "why javascript is so bad"...
and a list of "why php is so bad"...
and a list of "why linux is better than windows for a server purposes"...
and a list of "why not all linuxes are equally good for server purposes"...
...
But what's really bad - it is usage of Adobe Flash to make the entire site...
))))))))
*the end of the offtopic*

Edit: note, that I didn't say that anyone should use tables for layout or that tables are "ok" to make a template.

Don't use divs either. Use article, definitions, aside, etc.

so what are the exciting features left that phpBB offers for page layout or is page layout in itself evil?
Should we only structure the content in a logical way and leave the layout to ... whatever renders the page?

Alignment and floating would be good. You could make sidebars. However, it could get out of control.

May restrict alignment, and only give it to those with:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: (over 200 posts and over one month) or (over 100 posts and over five months)

Why not both?

You know that:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: (over 200 posts and over one month) and (over 100 posts and over five months)

Simplifies to:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: (over 200 posts and over five months)

Right in that lovely navy bar for all to see!

I think the table and readability issue is due to a lack of rules. E.g colour formatting in signatures and wrong use of formatting (code blocks, spoilers etc).

I think we should move the informative first post of every mods thread in the wiki, and leave the forum to discussion only. Then it is easier to find updates and informations for mods, because it is always the same wiki page.

But then anyone can edit it, making such idea pointless.

It is, but that's a topic feed. Not a feed for all posts in the whole forum.

There are entire Sub-Forum RSS feeds, you just have to collect them all.

Also, who the zwiz uses RSS?!

People not using feeds don't know what they're missing. Ever since I started using them, the time I've saved has been tremendous, and I'm able to follow more sites.

I'd love to have a program that gathers all those forum news and makes them available as news which could be read by a program like tin (of course images won't work well). THAT would safe time. And annoying clicks.

The forum is now converted to phpBB with a theme by BlockMen.

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2014 22:11**

Well, I don't like this theme, mainly because the posts overlap the posters' name and information on the left side, the header is messed up, and much more. Can you ask BlockMen to fix it, please?

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2014 22:18**

um the new softwere design (no offense blockmen) is terrible the links on google and on youtube are all broken (exept the ones to minetest.net

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2014 22:42**

All the links are broken. I am not happy. It was promised that the links would stay the same on IRC.

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2014 22:47**

The broken links are a serious problem. All my bookmarks to mods and other relevant topics now no longer work :-(

We should just switch back to the old software. Everything was fine until this big change.
