ModernBB: A new forum version for Forumotion forums

[The Godfather]

First topic message reminder :

Dear users,

In order to improve our services, Forumotion is pleased to offer you a new forums version to ensure a better user experience. This new version, which we have called ModernBB, is added to the 4 Forumotion forums versions already available (phpBB2, phpBB3, punBB and inVision) to constitute the 5th version available for your forums

It's accessible from your administration panel > Display > Skins > Choose a theme > Version > ModernBB.



ModernBB brings to your forums a more refined and aerial design with new innovations : New design, full-width banner, sticky navigation bar, retractable sections, ... Etc.

Another novelty will also be available exclusively on this template. It's the possibility for the admin to choose the forum version which will appears on mobile browsers (Web version of the forum or it's mobile version).

This choice is available for forums who defined ModernBB as the base version of the forum in the administration panel > Display > Templates > Mobile Version> Mobile configuration :



Without saying too much, I let you discover all the potential that ModernBB offers to your forums by yourself ...

Hopefully this new Forumotion forums version will bring you full satisfaction!

The Forumotion team

Notes:

1. Note that the ModernBB version is still in BETA phase. Although it has already passed our tests, it's not a definitive production version. It may contain some visual or functional bugs. So please help us to highlight any residual bugs.
   
   
2. Note that the ModernBB version does not yet give you access to it's templates edition. Only mobile version templates remains accessible at the moment. This will allow us to optimize and correct the possible problems faster.

When will the new version be completed and when will we have all the templates?

Thank you...

There is no set date or time frame there is still lots to do and fix / Change

so sorry we can not give a time @Paulostge

I have two errors to point out

- If someone decreased the height of the header... the search box is a bit "hidden"

- Now that the problem with italic texts has been solved, the icons look like this:

Now we have found what this CSS was for:

Code:

i {
    font-size: inherit;
    line-height: 1;
    margin-right: 6px;
    vertical-align: -2px;
}

Here's how they should put it:

Code:

.h3 i {
    font-size: inherit;
    line-height: 1;
    margin-right: 6px;
    vertical-align: -2px;
}

Without this CSS the icons are badly positioned and are too close to the text!

Where did you see it was renamed?  You do not have to download it.  You just go to Hitskin and install a ModernBB theme.

Question for members using ModernBB: Do you see 2 page paginations in your PM pages?

[Dachone]

How stable is ModernBB? I made a whole new skin based on it and I am wondering will it cause some problems if I install it on my forum?

[Ape]

ModernBB  is 100% stable it is our new system but we are still in beta mode but I am sure it will only get better.

We will only bring out new systems when we are sure it will work for the better of forumotion and 100's of forums are changing over the ModernBB just for the look and the speed of it and it's much more cleaner looking

Will the template edition be available in the future?

[SLGray]

What template version?

If you mean the templates in the AP, you can already modify them in ModernBB.

Does Modernbb limit how many forums a category can have? Because I have problem in my forum with this. In some categories I have 10+ forums and only a few appear. Structure & hierarchy options didn't help. In fact I was forced to use Full option in Split Categories menu, while I prefered the Full Option in Keep Categories menu because then neither all categories were appearing othewise.
To make it more clear what I tell you check those links

How can I make all forums appear in the Anime Series Category? Is this a bug or it can be solved somehow?
Anyway cheers for adding ModernBB. It's so awesome!

WYSIWYG editor buttons don't work.
