Apperantly, you can't make responses when you change to a different look. Only the new one works.

This is a post from the old forum theme.

Well, when I use the "SMF Default Theme - Curve" and press the reply button to reply, I get this error message:
Quote
Template Parse Error!

It seems something has gone sour on the forum with the template system. This problem should only be temporary, so please come back later and try again. If you continue to see this message, please contact the administrator.

You can also try refreshing this page.
Here's a screenshot of the error message:


This is a problem because in my opinion, the new layout is inferior to the older one.
Here's the list of my gripes:
  • This is a mobile layout. I'm using a computer. Do the math.
  • It doesn't say which threads have new posts since last visit. (bolded because seriously this is the most annoying part of this theme)
  • Barely any separators for content. For example, the only way an user's signature looks different from the main post is that the signature text is a bit smaller and has different indentation. At first glance, I thought Latino Skater decided to end his post with "Roses are red, Violets are blue, Tony Hawk's Pro skater 2" for no reason, but it turns out it's just his signature.
  • The old layout looked better in my opinion.

I can confirm that posting with the old theme doesn't work.
I got that same error.

So this is the problem skatefilter was having... He could've posted in here!


Anyway, im gonna try to post with the other theme to see if mobile works. (I also like the old theme but hey, this one ain't so bad!)

Deadly Premonition EDITor's cut: Checked, even mobile is fucked with this, i thought it was while posting but as soon as i click "Reply", it shows it up. Oh geez..

Should be fixed now. It was a simple misplaced "else" in the code that an old plugin changed or forgot to remove.

1. It should be fixed. Try it and let me know.
2. This is the exact reason why I gave the option to continue using the old theme.
3. "It doesn't say which threads have new posts since last visit" As I have said 3 times in this thread, I added that feature back in to the button at the top right side of the screen (on the new theme). Click on your Avatar there and it's the first option.
4. This is the whole reason for doing this now. I made this thread to address little things like the spacing and get them fixed. The old theme is so far from what it was when I first downloaded it. It took me forever to get that one working well enough. This is a process and I am glad for the help. Just hang in there. Those that like the new theme can help to make it better while those that don't can stay with the old.

Any ETA on the invisible subject text on posts? <_<

Not quite fond of the default theme, myself, so I switched back to the original.

I do applaud the default theme for being mobile-friendly, however.

I'm really surprised that so many people don't like the new look. Krad and I think it looks miles better than the old one..

What specific things would you change to make it better for you?
