Site Theme Update!

[DARTH VADER]

Hello Everyone!

As you may have noticed, the site theme has changed today.

Given the number of mobile devices which are used to access sites today, I have been working with Master Yoda to get a more responsive theme in place. Although the previous theme was nice, it did not scale well to smaller screens, like on phones.

The new theme is "Responsive" which means that some things may move, change appearance or become "hidden" as the screen size shrinks - in order to make sure that the important information IS displayed nicely.

Yes - some options have moved around a little bit and it may take a little while to get used to the new layout...  but it is MUCH better for the site and the users, in the long run.

Please let me know if there is anything that is behaving oddly and I will address the issue with all due diligence!

For Members viewing the theme you will notice a small box up in the top corner that has a drop down menu
that will now allow you to choose a different color for the theme while you view the site.

Currently it features a Graflex that in multiple colors.
Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, Purple and White.

We hope everyone is liking the new look an please feel free to comment on it and let us know what you think.

Thank you for that it has taken a while to get it right and I think its a big step in the right direction 

Lord Vader  has a way with the forum Force and is implementing functionality we need, and He made the images
I provided for it fit perfectly.

Speaking of Images How do you guys all like the color change ability?

We'll see what Vader says on that but Pics I believe should still be inserted using photobucket 

looks and works great!

Thank you for that and we truly appreciate 

Some of you out there may remember what it used to look like in its first inception over 10 years ago now and
with out a doubt this is the best over all improvement we've done for some time.

My Personal sincere thanks...
to Vader for His continued help in keeping the forum updated and working properly for us all to use.
to the Admins and Moderators who have been here continuing to serve the community and fans.
to the manufacturers of the Saber Guild and Mining Colony for offering great products and services.
to all of you members who come here and participate, New and Old

May the Force be with You all
always
