Quick forum update!

The forum user menu and the header just got updated.

Now, here's what changed.

The user-menu now shows how many alerts you have with a more distinct fashion, and when there is no alert, the number disappears.

You can also click on these areas directly.

Messages open well, messages and alerts open the popup.

We've also updated the popup. Now you have an option to read all on the bottom right instead of deleting all.

You can still delete all alerts through UserCP, but we thought reading all should be the easily accessed option.

I'd also like to thank  for assisting me with it as well as .

We've also increased the size of the header to allow roleplay screenshots be used on it in the future. To start it off, I've chosen 's CSI work which I believe fits the theme. Future screenshots made by you will be used there as well.

Let me know if there is any problems with it, as it's fairly new.

Don't forget to ctrl+f5 to cache clear just in case to get all updates

Another small forum update,

Wanting to give the forum a more modern look and also emphasize the forum titles, the main forum look was adjusted.

Along with that, further adjustments to threads were made.

More to work on, hopefully, the changes give good feelings to your eyes.
Not a big fan of the gradient. Would rather see the headers simple than this. Nice try though.
Gradient at the top removed, trying it out like that, if it looks better it'll stay!
im not a fan

it was made by you <3

The boxes are too big and the solid black lines in between the rows annoy me. It looks like a grid, not a section of the forums.
Alert popup was majorly overhauled.

Now there is a slide-in menu that shows 10 alerts.

It's much better looking and from the tests and feedback, people said it's easier to use.

For mobile, to improve responsiveness, the menu switches to the left side.

I'll continue to improve it with your feedback!
Calendar was redesigned.

It's now easier to navigate and also days are much more clear.

USE THE CALENDAR FOLKS
The calendar that is unused?
Yep, hoping making it look better and much more clear would make it more useful
