Thanks for your patience during the maintenance downtime earlier. Apologies that it took longer than expected but all went as planned in the end.
The main changes relate to upgrades to the core of XenForo itself. This required some reworking of the site theme/design/layout but everything should be the same as before. However, if you notice anything awry please let me know in this thread or PM me.
This upgrade lays the foundation for some other upcoming improvements but this update does include a couple of improvements which I know has been long requested:
1. Dark Theme!
To enable the Dark Theme, click on the theme button that says "RedCafe.net (Default Theme)" at the bottom of every page:
Then choose "RedCafe.net (Dark Theme)" et voila!
The layout of the dark theme is identical to the default theme, however, there may still be some discrepancies between the two which should be considered bugs. If you notice anything not quite right with the new dark theme, please let me know.
Also, if any of you are design minded I'm happy to hear any suggestions for improvements to the new theme. Colours and stuff ain't entirely my thing!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
2. Twitter embed fixes
X.com URLs now work when embedding tweets and tweets should load less intrusively on pages. The latter was resulting in pages jumping around as tweets loaded higher up on the page.
We're also looking at adding support for various other media embedding. I'll post on that separately.
Enjoy!
