The old theme is not obligatory, but something less bright, it is necessary. The eyes of many scripters are used to do to a black background. In fact, only need to add the exact same theme or more, but with different color styles.

Okay big part from old that make job faster is the top bar shortcuts to wiki, community, bugs report etc.

It needs to be placed somewhere on the side dashboard 

And theres no forum settings? I cant see signatures.

mobile/desktop theme switcher would be good

Great work

As time goes by, your eyes get tired. But I found a small solution. So far, only for firefox, can someone find and chrome.
That this plugin, Color Transform. I currently do is this:

Spoiler

As you can see, a lot of buttons, but there are tooltips on the plugin panel.
You can simply click the image to a suitable range, and it will apply to the current page. Next, click a plus "+", and it will apply the settings to the entire site. Unfortunately I left so that is applicable to all sites. In this case, you need to press the minus "-" to remove the settings for the current site, or a cross "x" is to clear the settings for all sites.
As a last resort, remove and reinstall the plugin.

Found a few problems/bugs, for example you cannot edit own OLD posts or topics, I cannot find any edit button. Only new posts/topics have the Edit button present. Integration problem?

Also older posts with [.code] tags, or (not sure) even new ones, have bugged out and display in awkward, inconvenient way the code contained, such as for example this topic:

https://forum.multitheftauto.com/topic/88558-debug-tool-vehicle-origins-scenario-code/ (lost its layout and all stretched horizontally)

Another issue, we can't edit posts if someone else posts after it.

Yes, it was set that way on purpose, due to users abusing the editing right and changing the topic contents after a longer while. If you need to edit your older posts, you can send a PM to moderator with the link to your post and your desired changes.

I really like it, however It will take me some time to get used to it due to the great amount of changes.

We might or might not create a darker forum theme in the future. However, right now our hands are full with other problems related to forums, so we would like to work on them first. We appreciate your feedback about the visual side of things though, guys... Guess a lot of users would be interested in such a theme.

You can find your forum settings by pressing the hamburger icon, then Account > Profile and Account > Account Settings. However, it looks like all of these problems come down to using the forums on mobile, as the features you have listed work fine on the desktop version.

Will look into the possibility of including the mobile/desktop theme switcher. The forum uses the same theme for both though, so it might be tricky.

Thanks for the feedback.

Signatures are hidden on mobile devices by IPS on purpose to keep the screen clear. We will take disabling this feature into consideration though.

I don't think that's possible as the theme is fully responsive. Also, I doubt you can use the desktop theme on a phone fluently.

[tosfera]

Any chance you could explain this;

[Jaydan]

Much better.

Nice , but style is bad

Yeah I agree 100% but forbid it in the scripting section and other sections but not the tutorials or resources section. I edit my resource posts on a regular basis. Not gonna bother contacting a mod everytime.

There's no button at the top of the forums to show all my topics/recent posts.

 

Use this stream: https://forum.multitheftauto.com/discover/5/

 

Press the tick button to make it as a default so it shows here:

Why not possible? I think some ipb theme has full version switch for mobile

And old forum is al be viewed like desktop and never had a hard time with it

[madis]

Looks nice.

Hard to believe I joined already 12 years ago...

 

[Mega9]

Refreshing indeed.

[..:D&G:..]

The forum looks soo much cooler now. Finally a sleek look Unlike SA:MP, hehe.

[Sarrum]

It looks great nice work but i miss the old style a lot i'm used to it and i always been with it 

[EstrategiaGTA]

It looks much more modern now, yeah, but yet we are missing old features like the Lua tag which linked functions directly to the MTA Wiki.

Okay, so I found a bug, more than a bug it's a language mistake, in my profile when I changed my profile picture it showed "EstrategiaGTA changed their profile picture".

 

Good job, though it will take a time to get used to it

You can't edit your posts if someone posted after you, sadly @Micro. They said it's because some people abuse this to edit old posts like "NOTHING HERE" or ".", which I have seen, yes.
