Fixing the CC forum theme.

[CharlieKasper]

It's my favourite theme and I'm sure many others like it too, but it's a bugged theme.

1. User Info, Recent posts, who's online, theme select, child boards, topic settings, who are viewing the board, and everything else appear below the topics and not beside theme.

2. No way to distinguish sticky, locked, and normal topics. The bars which distinguish sticky topics from normal topics are all the way down the page. (PS. I believe it also doesn't appear in the new posts since last visit page)

3. Simple Machines Forum still appears, while it doesn't appear on the main theme.

4. Account settings option doesn't appear in forum profile settings and there's no option to delete my own posts (not sure if CC related)

There may be more bugs but these are the only I could find now.

1. That is a theme bug.
2. That is a theme bug.
3. That is a theme bug.
4. The first one is a permissions bug. The second one may be normal, or may be a bug, depending on the intended setting. I will contact someone about the first one immediately, as that was supposed to be fixed already.

Thank you, that was informative.

That would help.

A side note - I think it's a bit problematic when we have themes that are highly contrasting in colour. Makes it quite difficult for topic designers. I know many people would much rather go back to the old theme colours, the Argonath colours as now several topics which people spent hours to design and create are hardly readable.

For the theme bugs you have listed in the CC theme, (and not the ones mentioned as permission problems), can you please explain in detail how to reproduce them?

SMF Default Theme is what I use and what I recommend to all others.
It has benefits over the other themes.

That is the included theme with SMF.

I am asking for the original poster to explain how to reproduce the bugs so they can be fixed, not what you prefer to use.

The pictures provided tell where the bugs happen and how to reproduce them.

I confirmed most of them. I'm just trying to be certain that I can reproduce all of them so I can differ between what is a theme-related bug, and what is a theme-customization bug. So far, though, it appears all the ones you have reported are related to some kind of reinstallation or customization failure in the theme, as they don't exist in an unmodified copy of it, itself. I did, however, find some theme-related bugs that you didn't report, and I have spoken to Gandalf about them already. If all goes as planned, they may be fixed in the near future, depending on various factors.
