Can you import the 'current' theme of a page then edit it?

Just font sizes and colours I wish to change.

I have a basic grasp of css and know about hex colours etc and html

Probably not, I'm not sure what you mean by "a page". Are you talking about a page external to your site/forum? Also it helps to know what forum software you're using.

Probably best raising this in H,G&P tbh.

Itr-dc2 forum, and yes I should have created a new thread

This is one of the (if not the) most visually pleasant forums on the internet. The design of this forum is one of the reasons I stuck around.

Same here. I can't believe there are still so many web1996 forums around. I'm currently having to read the Amazon KDP forum a lot and it's awful. It's basically a big long nondescript list with nothing to help you track messages and the like :rolleyes:

To be honest, I feel the forum is missing a few things.

1. The option to change your avatar to anything you wish, without restrictions to the size or Dimensions.

2. The option to have signatures that can be 1000px+ in any direction

3. The option to have both Sig and Avatar animated

The forum would be much better if these changes could be implemented

I like it how it is,and I wouldn't change it as it is very clean and neat

The forum is changing to orange, red and black to accomodate our new overlords.

+1. Maybe we can also have multiple sigs, too. Like a big anime-themed sig, then some multi-coloured quote from an ancient-but-still-funny meme, then another sig - this one involving my CoD MW3 headshot score or something. LET'S DO THIS.

You had me at anime, you glorious *******.

we do not need any changes to the signatures, they are awful as it is - i dont want more crap spamming my page just because some insecure person wants to get noticed more.

I want glowing, animated text in our posts.

Do you see the difference, Moomoo444?

Cosimo · 9 Feb 2012 at 10:07

The forum is a visual delight. It's one of the few that gives you hours of easy viewing. You can't ask for more than that.

Haha, describes so many forums out there to a tee!

So glad ocuk have the restrictions they do, makes the browsing experience so much less painful than for other sites.

Oh and, black theme all the way!

IrishChr1s · 9 Feb 2012 at 10:15

Can i ask, how do you get the black layout i've seen a few times on screen shots?
