We take all modifications to the board with a grain of salt because updating the forums becomes quite tedious. Not to mention we are looking at alternative forums with a more solid codebase, and from there plan on making all the neccesary changes we dream about.

I wrote a Greasemonkey script to address this issue.

I'm for it. Come on, guys, it's not a lot of change, just a font-family in css.

Yes but I suggest it to be a optional preference in the Board Preferences section in the User Control Panel (ucp.php?i=prefs&mode=post).Weirdan wrote:I'm for it. Come on, guys, it's not a lot of change, just a font-family in css.
How hard could it be? Look at the votes, majority wants it.

That would be definitely harder than just changing the css, and it's a kind of change we would like to avoid.JellyFish wrote:Yes but I suggest it to be a optional preference in the Board Preferences

PHPBB is horrible for plugins. As in, there's no functional way to add plugins. As in, if we add a plugin we have to modify basecode to do it. Any modification we do means we have to re-do whenever we update the board software. On a well-used site like this, any time we have to go messing with the source code is a bit of a crapshoot.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
