Nice redesign guys. 8)

I agree. I just started noticing it today. It certainly adds to my enjoyment of the site.

Thanks guys, I was pleasantly surprised by the result myself. I meant to get more done last night, but once I got the basic look I was after I just had to stop and look at it for a while. It looks good in the Taldren theme too. :)

I was trying to get Frey to make the Taldren scheme the default one as I think it looks best with the black background. Good job with the new look!

Funny you should mention that... I just posted this elsewhere:
P.P.S and Frey will love this: I think I might like the Taldren theme better now and am considering promoting it to the forum default theme. I'm not sure though.
I'm using it in my profile now from testing... and can't quite bring myself to switch it back. ;D

Yeah, almost reminds me of a video game I used to play... ;)

call da po-po. My spelt chacker has bin stoolt.

Yeah I have explained this in several threads. php has removed the pspell extension in php 5.3 and replaced it with something called enchant. SMF does not currently have any code that can use enchant. Internet explorer is the single remaining browser that does not have client side spell checking, so I don't know if anyone will bother using spell libraries server side anymore anyway. I suppose MS's dilemma is that they don't want to use their office spell checker without charging for it, and cannot use open source libraries without releasing any adaptations of it they make? Pure speculation. Either way I expect IE to have spell checking in the near future, they'd be fools not to add it. I expect due to corporate IE6 use someone will eventually make an add-on to SMF to use enchant that will eventually get merged into the SMF code, but it will not be me.
(I'm currently working on a css drop-line menu for the updated theme that will most likely not be IE6 compatible. Put Iron or FF portable on your flash drives folks.)
Or perhaps this is worth a try?:

I'm going to give it a whirl in IE8 on vista... will report. Oh 2006 looks kinda old...
Edit: I just spell checked this post with it in IE8 on vista - worked fine! 8)

Had to revert to the old templates. There were unforseen compatibility issues that could not currently be resolved. (Upcoming SMF2 "Curve" major default template redesign is imminent...) So we're back to the setup we're all used to. (Still no spell check though.)
Hmm, maybe I will write an enchant based spellchecker just to see what it's all about.
