B24 Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 I'm going to be upgrading the forums to the latest version of the software. During the update the site will be down. Not sure how long it will take. Once it is finished, the forums will most likely be a default blue theme. That's temporary. I'll be working on a new theme for the forums soon after the update. We will also be getting a new logo. I'm running a contest for it. The contest is located at http://99d.me/e/p2di If you all would take a look and let me know your favorites, it would be greatly appreciated. Also any feedback on the designs for ones you might like but can be improved would also be appreciated. Thanks so much everyone. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hey B24, I know this is offtopic but youre a hard guy to reach :-) so since you just posted I just want to thank you for the years of enjoyment I have had on these forums Its been a pleasant part of my life since 2003....yep, twenty years now :-) One suggestion: set up a BengalsZoneForums twitter account where updates can be shared on the state of the site when there is occasional downtime and such, like with this announcement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B24 Posted June 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Thanks TJ. As long as I'm alive, these forums will be here. Hard to believe this site has been here so long. As for the Twitter account, I set it up. You can use the attached QR code or just follow this link. https://twitter.com/BengalszoneMB?t=U8j9dvbaTcxy6GuKBa7jTg&s=09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Awesome dude :-) so one more thing: Can you give some (or all?) of the forum admins the password to this account so they can share updates if you arent around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsbengalsbucks Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 I like Number 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Thanks for your efforts, B24. I think my preference is #60, top left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 I like the simplicity of #55. It’s a simple but clean look, like their uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 I find the home opener block in the pages to be more cumbersome than anything. Not like it takes much to simply scroll down, but I’d rather see content. Just now seeing some changes and that was something I noticed right off the bat. I like the dark theme.

TJJackson Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 id like to see the return of the link on the bottom right of a topic page that takes me to the oldest unread post in the section this was one of my favorite features of the previous board make navigation to what I want to read a lot easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 I always clicked the little star thing to the left of the topic to go to the oldest unread post in a thread. How do you get rid of the thing of the right when you are in a thread that has "Replies", "Created" and "Last Reply" ?? I don't see it when in this thread, but all the others have it and it takes up a bunch of space needlessly. I've tried all the buttons from the customizer toggle at the top.

ArmyBengal Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 So I just realized the toggle button gives different options from being on your mobile device and your desktop/laptop. On the mobile device, the toggle button displays options for: Mobile Navigation Bar Larger Font Size for Posts Show Countdown On the desktop, the toggle button displays options for: Larger Font Size for Posts Sticky Author Panel Sticky Sidebar Flip Sidebar Show Countdown When I click on the Flip Sidebar, that stupid sidebar goes from the right side to the left side. When clicking the Sticky Sidebar, it should be stuck to the top, which while I would rather not see it at all, should allow for better viewing especially with longer posts being read or added by posters. However, when I click that, the site does nothing. The sidebar remains where it is. It's not like it's something to keep me from the boards, but I don't like the reduced view when reading the posts.
