    Please keep track of any oddities that you see in the forum and report them here. For instance, replying to a topic results in a broken template... wink

      regular reply link is in a very unhandy location.

      I don’t want to "reply with a quote" all the time, nor do I like to scrool to find "reply" link wink

      beyond that still need to get used to the board huh

        Please keep feedback coming in. Until we can get the theme completely sorted out, or if you just like working under a "traditional" forum layout, feel free to change the forum skin using the profile link in the UserTools section.

            I see what you’re saying... I’ll see if there’s a way around that via .htaccess... should be, I hope. wink


            You for now will have to put a trailing slash at the end. Sorry!

                The new theme ROCKS!

                1 bug I did find though. In 1280 X 1024 in FF the left column seems a bit too wide (about 2x as big as it needs to be). Anyone else noticed this?

                  Hi Mark and thanks. It’s because it’s set at around 20% width. I’ll try to change it to px... Thanks!

                    Your welcome.

                    Also, when replying I noticed that the post box highlights green only when moused over and it does not when text is being entered (unless the mouse is still hovering over the text field [users who use the tab button might have problems with the highlighting])

                      Lots more usability tweaks to go Mark... thanks.

                      Dimmy, solved it with the following .htaccess rules: 
                      RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(vertexworks.com/forum|vertexworks.com/forums/)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.modxcms.com/forums/$1 [R=301,L]
