On Friday March 23rd We will be switching themes. Which will give the site a new look and also make it much easier for people to view and use the site from mobile devices and also give computer users the same functionality that they currently have.
awesome :) I cant wait to see the new theme :D
Yay!
Will anything be lost when the switch happens in terms of messages or posts? I'm assuming and hoping the answer is no, but it would be good to know if that's the case.

Nothing will be removed or lost when we make the switch. It will just be a different look and easier for people using mobile devices to navigate the site while not losing any functionality for computer users.
Awesome blossom! And while I've got your attention for a split second, if there's ever a possibility of pinning an individual comment or two to the top of the comments section on our profiles so that it never gets buried, I think that would be pretty cool.
That is something we might be able to look at down the road. There are a few improvements we would like to make 1st though.

I like this idea. So this comment could stay near the top for a while.
Elle is the cutest, smartest, meanest, sexiest fighter ever. Drop everything and get to her barn, fight in the straw...
Signed Beyonce
And this one could slip a bit.
I want fight you....
We switched over to the new theme this afternoon. While it has a different look it has the same functions and features that the old theme has and will be much easier for people to use on their phones and tablets.
So clean. And easier on the eyes.
Thanks!
Love the new look, but I hate the formatting. Much harder to identify those with similar interests.... Maybe just due to unfamiliarity.

If you mean the search icon you can find that on the top right side across from the FCF banner.
I'm curious. Under the old layout, people who made comments on profiles had their photo next to the comment. Now it is just a name and no photo. Is that how it is supposed to be or is that a work in progress?
It's happening with phones. We will have to make a tweak or two.
Smooth and stylish! Great job!
Liking the new look!!
..yesterday evening I could see the new look...today the site is back to the old style.....to me both are fine
but I wonder what is happening.....is it only me ....??
We were having some problems with the new theme so we switched it back to the default one
A good thing. Nothing wrong with the way it was.
Nice job all involved , i am sure you all don't get told enough

another phone issue is I can't see if someone sent me a personal message if I check via phone.
To see if you have any messages when on the phone click on the 3 bars right under your picture. You will see the navigation links including Messages. And when you have any it will say how many.
We have the "Like Posts" working now
could be just me. usually is, but when i open the site to stories it defaults to page 141, tried on separate devices with same result, can click to page 1 without any problem.
new layout looks good
What happened to the new look? Did I miss something?
We had to switch back to the default theme. We will eventually have the new theme working again.
Dan and I spent some time yesterday rebuilding the new theme and getting (almost) everything working. Other than the broken "online" image, we should be pretty good to go.
Some notes:
1) Anyone who doesn't like the new theme can easily switch back to the old one. We did make some improvements to the old theme a few weeks ago, and those are still in place. For instructions on how to switch to the old theme, scroll down to the bottom of this post.
2) If you notice anything strange with the new theme, drop me or BigDevil a PM. The new theme changes appearance below a certain screen size to make it work better on mobile devices (phones, tablets) so it's normal that a few things will look different.
3) Look out for the big red "logout" button on the top left of the page. I've clicked it by accident a few times and logged myself out. That button wasn't there on the old profile.
How to switch back to the old theme
1. Click this link (https://www.freecatfights.com/forums/index.php?action=theme;sa=pick).
2. Find the second theme on the list, "SMF Default Theme - Curve", and click "Use this theme".
You're done.
Thanks, and I hope most of you enjoy the new theme!

hurray! Back to the new one! I think it looks much better, just takes some time of getting used to. Can anything be done about the weird buddy hierarchy? I find it very hard to get the buddies I want at the top of my list. Like a puzzle in an old adventure video game!
I'm glad you like the new theme. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about the buddy hierarchy.

can the lines be added back so we can at least be sure which buddy we are "moving up" :D
The recurring changes back and forth are a pain in the ass, and the new one actually works WORSE on a smartphone. Can we bloody stop fixing what's not broken?

1. Just because you didn't feel a need for the change does negate the fact that others (including the site owner) have been asking for them.
2. It is an ongoing process. We won't get feedback if we don't have a starting point.
3. It takes 5 seconds to go back to the old theme. If that is the biggest hardship in your life, consider yourself blessed.
4. it took quite a few hours work to get the theme this far. if you don't use it fine but this isn't just some frivolous thing we are doing. consider yourself lucky i didn't work on it myself as long as some have because my reply would not be so polite.
We now how trillian on the profiles like yim, msn, ect. to enable it go to your profile click on "modify profile" then click on "Forum Profile" scroll down to the bottom and put your trillian ID in and click save.

For it to take affect you might have to hold down the shift key and reload the page. In fact with any changes or fixes we make you might have to do that.
We decided to switch the oval avatars for rectangular. There were some avatars that contained text that was getting cut off, and also the differing avatar sizes were leading to various sorts of egg-shaped avatars that irked my OCD.
You might have to force a reload to see the changes right away.

And if you've ever had your OCD irked, you know how painful that can be. :)

I can relate.
I thought I had posted in this thread already (guess not), but I just wanted to say a big "Thank You" for the new theme. I think it looks great, is easier to navigate and looks much nicer on my phone.
Great work!

Not sure your photos can look much nicer. They are awesome in any theme. :)
why is the print so tiny ?
you'd need microscopic vision to read it
