non-developed design phpbb?

Post by abdu7maan »

There is a point I would like to discuss with the support team and developers
Did not you develop the default theme and also did not have the style editor inside the control panel?
The program is in its present state as if it were designed in the eighties, the visitor became interested in the site in terms of design and colors,
I would like to know why the program continues with this old and non-developed design?

A new style is coming in 4.0

There used to be an editor in the admin panel but it caused people more problems than it solved.

Mostly the default style just acts as a code base for third party styles.

This version may not be released in the near future.
I am surprised that there is no designer interested in designing the styles of this program, although it is an old program and is widely distributed and has a large user base, yet his professional style is sure to be rare and rare
Why?

The new style is currently being developed.

You have to bear in mind that everyone who contributes to phpBB does so on a voluntary basis in their spare time.

Have you not looked in the styles database? There are many excellent styles. There are places you can buy them for a small fee too.

Style design is not easy. It takes coding, graphical and design skills.

Most beautiful styles are not compatible with latest releases and do not work ... even paid. Not yet upgraded

well, beatiful is a subjective term, but most of the styles in the style database are up to date. and I know of some of the paid ones available elsewhere that are up to date as well.


I have to wonder why you are here constantly complaining about phpbb's lack of things that you think it should have.

why don't you go ahead and find a different bulletin board software to use. oh, I forgot, you are not looking for a bulletin board software , you are looking for something different and want to make phpbb into whatever that is.

I installed some of your free stuff and did not work. Because it is designed for old versions. I am not from you alone. Any program use. Some people like to show in front of others that he is an expert and stuff himself in everything, which is the opposite

not sure what you are talking about. what "your free stuff". I don't have any styles available for use if that is what you are talking about.
phpbb.com has many styles and most all of them are up to date.

the rest of that sounds like you are describing yourself.

I agree.

There are 60 styles in the database for 3.2.x
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styl ... les-12/3.2

Most of the paid ones are up to date too or there would be no point in trying to sell them.

I have not seen anyone trying to "sabotage" topics - perhaps you are mistaking comments based on years of experience with both the product and the site with your own personal opinion and the only one who is raising problems (most of which do not even exist) is you.

I'm not quite sure of the rest of the point of this topic.

You've said you don't like the style. We've pointed you to styles that work and look nice and that a new default style will come further down the line.
