So kicking this discussion out a bit, there's a lot of stuff we can fiddle with in terms of changing the general look and feel of the page. I am very much not an expert on this - 8 years of professional software development have told me this much is an absolute definite fact - so I'm hoping someone can come forward with something more thematically appropriate for our Swamp Hive. This includes our color scheme, our header images, and the icon in browser tabs which is currently proboards' icon. If someone wants to bring forward some proposals, I'm eager to hear and try them.

I've added a theme called Beta Swamp that you can select under Profile->Settings (might need to go into edit Profile). I took the default color pallet that felt most swampy to me. Thoughts?
Could still use a nice custom logo if someone has any artistic talent.

So here's the final file I uploaded. If someone has a tool for dealing with opacity, it would be appreciated but I don't have the necessary image editing software Logo2.ico (894 B) |

So I haven't asked outright but based upon my research, it looks like live notifications of new posts would violate proboard rules while options to count number of threads unread are not yet supported. I've dropped both as areas of research.
I still wish we had a logo at the top but aside from that, I think we're ready to go live with the Hive Theme. Are there any outstanding requests?
Also, is there anyone here who objects to being forced to the Hive Theme?

Swamp Theme is live. I've kept the old one as "Legacy" if you want to change back but everyone should be moved over to Swamp now.
