Anime themes become dated real fast.

A D&D or generic fantasy tropes theme would stand the test of time.

I haven't watched anime in so long, I no longer get any of the references that date after 2003.

We could do a Ranma or Sailor Moon theme. Everyone knows them, right?

[Corwin]

Whatever gets chosen, Dune still gets a special Elminster theme, right?

[Anastasia]

* Anastasia stares at Corwin.

[Corwin]

Is this actually a big deal? If you pick Madoka or whichever and it doesn't take, wouldn't it be easy enough to replace it a month later and keep on doing that? Maybe I'm missing something really key here.

[Dracos]

It's totally not a big deal. :)  I probably won't change it right away, but it's a low effort switch.  As I said, all I'm taking away from it is folks would like a switch so I'll go do that when I'm doing the forum upgrade.

[Anastasia]

Is there any way you could do multiple themes with the ability for each user to choose which they want?

[Brian]

...probably?  But ... community, Ana.  Community. ;)

I move in favor of just changing the theme more often.  Then if it's something you don't like, it's only going to be around for a while.  If you really like it, maybe we can bring it back again some day.

[Ranma_007]

Daily changes of the theme?

[Dracos]

Trival does not imply I'm going to go change a dozen strings every day.

[Anastasia]

Various themes I like, tossing these out here.

Why yes, I do like dark colors and themes.

There looks to be a WYSIWYG post editor.  Thoughts on it folks?  Not exactly sure it really adds much, but that's my 'it's just bbscript' view.

Please don't add it, or if you do make sure it's not by default on. I've had a lot of rage moments in other boards that added something of that sort in, and it tended to make editing older posts a lot more difficult.

Themes

I'm perfectly happy with the Core theme, which used to be the default for the old version. Can't complain with seeing more options even if I'll likely stick to the core theme though.

[Anastasia]

Anything that makes editing old posts harder should be a no-go. With the games we run here and all the character sheet editing, this strikes me as completely counter productive.

[Dracos]

Alright.  It remains optional anyhow if anyone wants to turn it on with their own profile.
