If you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't (e.g. to verify your account for registration), email Wes at stararmy@gmail.com or talk to me on Discord for help. Sometimes the server hits our limit of emails we can send per hour.
Last night, I updated the StarArmyBlue theme to be more space-like by using a nebula artwork I purchased.
This morning, I also added another theme to the forum, CA Orbital. I tried to give it a color scheme similar to the old Solaris PHPBB2 theme. You can change your theme in your User Control Panel. Note that this theme is experimental and subject to change.
I deleted the CA Orbital theme due to some issues with some users not rendering text in the correct colors. I've added a Proglass theme for those of you that like light colors.
Note: There are many, many images on the Internet that aren't high-rez enough to be properly displayed on Apple's Retina technology. Seriously. The Star Army banner, the smilies, all the images are totally pixelated. Madness. Retina display is so pretty ...
Honestly, I didn't even notice it was different until now because I've been using my phone. And my phone is narrow. I thought the nebula was just some new banner I hadn't seen yet.
If someone wants to create elements for a theme for their own faction, is there a way they could find out how and then to submit them for consideration?
I think, if we based it off the current theme, we would need a logo image, a background, and a color scheme. However I don't want to make too many themes, because they must all be updated manually when the forum software is updated.
