Hello!
So, chances are you're here because ECF looks different and you're a bit surprised. Hey, it was time for a spruce up, no?
No? OK, well I've left the old theme accessible, so if you really do miss the oranges and deep blues, please, by all means (it's called ecigaretteforum and you can find it at the bottom of this page).
So, what's different about this new theme? In a nutshell, it is mainly about how the site looks. It doesn't do anything to how the site behaves. In other words, if there's something you think you can't do any more on ECF, you probably can - you just can't find it (yet). If it's something that's become hidden, then maybe it's something we can unhide.
The theme is a work in progress and I'll be making tweaks over the coming weeks. You can see the initial task list that members helped me compile in the preview thread:
The first thing that I'm determined to do is a big clean up. We have a lot of disorganisation and forums which are no longer relevant or necessary. A forum is a living, breathing thing, not a library - so I want to consolidate things, inject some life back into the right places and so forth.
Oh, and did I mention it? ECF is 10 mothertruckin years old in December! Yup, we've been here from the beginning. Well, we were the beginning, weren't we old timers? In any case, got some celebratory things lined up for that.
So, come on - I know everyone loves change - so hit me with your worst.....

- Add watched forums/threads/posts back in
- Dark theme to be created
- Look at margins below posts and postbit's impact (move info out?)[complete]
- Different color bars for forums
- Default to rich text editor? Or have setting in profile which allows it
- quick drop down for alerts/messages
- sort out supporting members' badges
- Nice "mood" banners
- Gender (where declared) in the postbit.
- Font choice/color tbc
- 'Reason' portion not showing when posts are edited
- "B" for blog is causing a problem with Usernames
