    Default Dial Up style

    Hello,

    Added a new style today: it is a lightweight and should speed up browsing for Dial Up users. It can be found it the normal Style Selection dropdown and your UserCP.

    As this is supposed to be a fast no whistle no bells skin, more may be stripped from that skin.

    The subforums can be displayed in columns. I'm not sure whether this is more convenient, so it's only applied to the Dial Up skin at this moment. Provide some feedback please: should this be added to the other skins too?

    GAH! Discrimination! Tosa you should be ashamed!

    I'll have to try that out, the page loads can get a bit tedious....

    BTW while I'm here what's with the smilies? I see we've moved on from the holiday smilies, but will the old one go back to being the default? just wondering, please don't skin me!

    EDIT: Okay, here's my feedback so far, it seems to run much faster, well as long there are no pictures, and the 56k in the top left is really classy, all I need is more reminding....Just joking.

    Huh, just noticed the smilie thing. I was wondering why so many male Orgahs had taken a liking to the Geisha-looking smilies.

    Great idea. Has to be helpfull to 56k users
    (i used to have a14.4k a a 28k a 33k and then a 56k dial up modem and 33k and 56k are usualy almost the same speed)
    I think the 56K thing in the top corner is Rubing peoples noses in it a bit
    I remember dissliking my 56k so intensly that I did not like even Mentionign its existance,
    Still think its a good idea.
    Although as i said the Huge 56K sign in the top corner could Lead to severe depression for some

    I'm always ashamed.

    The server is fair, the database is huge and there are some users, add some images and it will slow down.

    The santa smileys are removed from the click menu and the Geishas are added. All smileys are still around. The old ones can become default again.

    I have DSL, but I guess the 56k will become my own favourite. At least until we have an ultra lite one.

    The columns takes up more space. I think subforums are fine as-is.

    Tosa,

    I really like the color blend of that theme. Is there any possibility of applying the color blend to a new theme ?

    Too much request under so much work, isn't it

    What would you like to see in a theme? In other words: what do you miss in the Dial Up one? The avatars,sigs?

    I mean, I like the Dial UP theme's colors, and asked if it would be possible to apply it to normal broadband themes or create a new one with those colors.

    I mean only colors - I love them

    Edit : I just got your post Yes, I miss the extra graphical attributes of the normal ones in Dial Up theme. I'd like avatars and sigs, at least, in a theme with those colors.
