Hello everyone,

The forums were down for maintenance recently as we were carrying out a number of activities:
  • Forum software upgrade to latest version
  • Server migration to AWS from Digital Ocean
  • Dedicated mail server setup to overcome email notification issues
This also means that you might run into some unexpected issues in the next few days. Please report them here and we will fix them ASAP.

Some known issues:
  • Emails will still not work for a few hours to max a day. Waiting for account approval.
  • The older themes will not work on the current forum software version as there are significant changes in the current version. No plans (funds) to bring them back.
  • Market feedback functionality may have run into some glitches but will be fixed soon.
  • Market form fields will also need a little overhaul so would request you to keep your sidearms holstered for a day or two.
Would also request some seasoned and active members to volunteer to moderate the forums. Please drop me a PM if you are interested.

Good Day! :)

Aren't there any free themes for the new forum version?
 
We need to do something about the logo too.. Doesn't look good with this theme..

Edit : A lighter background color like #ececec on the header looks good. This is the same color as the body background.

Earlier I had it configured that when I clicked "new posts" it would avoid listing market/sale threads but now it is showing them, how do I get back to my preference of not listing market/sale threads in "new posts" list?

It was not a native feature so we were using an add-on for that which doesnt work on the new forum software. Not upgrading was not an option as the previous version went end of life yesterday. There is another add-on for current version that does just that, however it is paid. So will have to wait a while.

Bug : The 3rd menu option says "nav.xcfs". Inspecting the element, it has a link to community/feedback. The text needs correction.

That was addressed. The logo also will be fixed in time. Looking at usage experience issues first.
 
@Renegade Please give an option for a dark theme.

Edit: How about this one?

xenforo.com

Unmaintained - XF2.2 Default Styles (FREE) - No Template edits!

This was just a default dark style thread. But i decided to give some other style colors a crack. I am sure i would have missed something i forgot to do with-in these styles! But these are FREE to download and use with Zero Template Edits...

The logo! It is burning my eyes! Also, on mobile browsers, I feel the layout of the previous one was a lot better.

The separation of the sticky sections and all were a lot more visible.

The overall design upgrade is good though.

Also, the logo. Do something fast! Please?

If I could be of any assistance, please do let me know.
 
This member @mahesh_bharti is unable to login. He claims he is using the correct email ID to try "forgot password" process but it is saying "this member not found" - any admin can help? I can PM to an admin the email ID he is trying to enter if you need to cross check.
