This may have been done by a server manipulating their player count, I have not found the culprit as I did not track server specific records for non supporting servers.

Congratulation to your work,
the new look is very nice.

Two points to make it better:
- the search field is yellow on white. If you type something in, you can' read it
- in the forum the mouseover changes the backgroundcolor to white, so you can't read the white and yellow letters

I hope it helps to improve this site
Rock me!

I've stopped developing the dark theme, is it worth it?

I'm almost used to this, if I make the text on the grey stand out.

I agree. A couple of changes to this theme and call it done.

Ok,
I found another little bug on the DAOC Portal page. I've added a jpg to my server and got an error message, so I choose another server to look if the size of my picture is to big. I've got a simular eroor message:
phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /products/daocportal/servers/index.php on line 118: getimagesize(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/1968 ... 483602.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No route to host
Both pictures exist. I removed my entry to avoid this error message.
Rock me!

This is another annoying limitation with our web host, that code was to look at the image and resize if necessary. Either I let the images show without restriction or force images to be uploaded.

Show the images without restrictions. I think server owners will make sure it looks ok.

Thx, works fine now.

Only the mouse over and click in the forum causes unreadable characters. The second thing is the search window; the charactercolor is yellow on white and unreadable for me. When highlighted the color becomes blue.
I think it's only some changes in the css file to make things better.
If you like, you can send me the .css file to look for the right entries, but I will spend my holidays for 2 weeks. :D

Can we get an optional theme for the forums we can select? A small mobile compatible theme ? I can live with mix matched colors. but on a small screen all this black can be hard to see at night =)
Thanks,
