New features.

[MJMcCready]

Hi there, this is indeed a cracking forum but I have some questions. As a website its a bit on the dull side. Can't we get new features, themes would be great too, different icons. It does look like a very dated forum, some interface options would be great if possible. Twitter now X did it, that sort of thing. Thoughts?

I like dark theme for everything and higher contrast. Most sites give you these options.

Thoughts?

May I ask what you expected to see out on a phpBB forum web site? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain...

Answers on a postcard please.

Already stated. How about light and dark theme, text colour, simple things that all apps and many websites now. I don't think that's much to asnwer. Customization has been around for some time already. Can't the creators be contacted about this? Just opions over customization really.

I for one I most satisfied at what this forum has and continues to achieve since December 8th 2006. We owe Carl an enormous debt of gratitude for the work put in over the last 18 years.

Well there's no doubting that but like I said, some modernisation to make it more customizable would be great and more in line with the current trend. What X did would sufffice. Different themes and font colours.

To whom it may concern, please leave it it the way it is.

We need to bring in Elon Musk to sort us all out!

Is the ECForum wasting shedloads of money?

I just thought it would be nice if I could do the same as I did with X, get a dark theme and change font colours, that's all.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Better than boring and characteristic.

The issue with this is that sites like this have post-level formatting in a way that X doesn't. For example, I can post this and be sure it will stand out, which isn't necessarily the case if you've changed your text colour, or worse, your background colour, to red.

What’s wrong with having the choice? You don’t have to change anything yourself.
