Alt Forums

As the title says.

You've probably noticed that I enabled one widget so far, the board stats. You can collapse the widgets if you find them distracting btw. Other options I can add are a Shoutbox, who's online, new topics, etc. Are there any specific stats you want to see in the widgets? I'm probably going to have most of them show up on one side of the index page rather than have them all over the place.

As title says. It would be good for those like Escargot and similar.

I was wondering if it would benefit our community if I were to sign up for Forum Spark's premium service? It would add a blog feature to the community, which could be used for news based around alternatives or opinion pieces. Or do you think having the free version is good enough for the community and we should stick to using the forums to discuss updates? I'd love to hear your feedback on this!

I just wanted to say that I really like the bright, new, shiny Theme. It's clean and easy to read. It really brightens up the site.

IDK if that's what you intended to do with this theme or what but to me it looks ugly.

IDK if you can directly edit CSS on here but if you can, then do this

.panel__footer{height:1rem;border:1px solid var(--fs-panel-border,#e2e8f0);border-top:none;border-bottom:2px solid var(--fs-panel-footer-accent,#6366f1);background-image:linear-gradient(to top,var(--fs-panel-footer-from,#5e81ac),var(--fs-panel-footer-to,#5e81ac));}

It's just the same color #5e81ac which is used on the title headers but on that last gradient on background-image

Okay, not sure about the new buttons running down the length of the left-hand side of the input box. I like the options, but only having a single line at the bottom to type my message post in is kinda claustrophobic to me.

Suggestion: Add the option to attach screenshots to messages?

And yeah, the input box gradually grew vertically as I typed.

I have a question for everyone, should I include alternative operating systems in the alternative platforms section? I don't want to have too many sections on the forum, I don't think one more would hurt but I also feel that these two can coexist with each other. I'm also going to change the color of the font used for the "Operating Systems Discussion" topic label since it clashes with our dark theme.
