phpbb3 design

It doesn't matter if you do all the error checking in the world, or if you have the most beautiful graphics, if your site or application design isn't usable, it's not going to do well. Get input and advice on usability and user interface issues here.

phpbb3 design

Post by Charles256 »

So I recently put up a new forum and installed phpbb3. I like the color scheme on the default install but something seems off. Can people with a bit more in the artistic department help me figure out what it is I need to change? Thanks.

I don't mean to sound negative, but I don't know if this type of fragmentation is "a good thing". Besides, isn't PHPDN (this one) switching to 3 anyway?

No idea. I'm just not a big fan of the stability as of late. So I put up an alternative area for people to post when devnet is down or being sluggish. That's not the point though. :) Something about the phpbb 3 default theme just seems off to me. Any suggestions?

The stability issues as of late have nothing to do with phpbb, but with the server we're sitting on.

Sorry - I'm not sure what you're talking about - seems fine to me. The theme uses pretty much the exact same colours & graphics - just with some different borders & whitespace.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
