IMPORTANT - staff change and move to a Fanrestore.com domain

[Feallan]

Did some technical stuff
- updated software and all plugins
- replaced all forum.fanres.com links with fanrestore.com ones in posts and private messages
- converted DB encoding to 4 byte UTF-8, which basically means full Unicode charset is now available, including things like Chinese characters and emojis. Test: ??‍??? 你为什么要读这个 (please don't spam this stuff lol)

I don't think I broke anything, but please report any new issues you may encounter

The dates are not working in replies:

Should be fixed now

This is painful. That's all I have to say.
also the new logo doesn't work very well on the dark theme
print screen windows
i made one that should work on all themes hopefully ? following a similar colour scheme

I made a quick one:



If you want to tinker with it you can download the Paint.NET file here. I separated everything into layers you can easily re-apply the colours, or even just make a single-colour logo.

You can use a userstyle extension like Stylus to apply it:

Code:

#logo {
    padding:0;
}
#logo .wrapper {
    position:relative
}
#logo img {
    /*display:none*/
    width:0px;
    height:0px;
}
#logo img {
  box-sizing:border-box;
  background:url(https://i.postimg.cc/tCY9RX4v/Fan-Restore-logo-Valeyard.png) no-repeat;
  width:395px;
  height:70px;
  overflow:hidden;
  padding-left:395px;
  margin:0 0 0 2px;
}

I already made a new one to be tested

New version up if someone wants to test and report back.

I use dark mode and this new logo works.

[DoomBot]

Awesome! Thanks TAF

It still doesn't look great to be honest. I'd suggest you download the Paint.NET template I made and work off that. I think this is what you're going for:



This is how it looks against the dark theme background:

It would actually look better with the dark theme background header area darker, or otherwise go with a different choice of colours.

Here's the bevel settings I used on that:

[DoomBot]

Yep, that's what i'm seeing in my PS layout, added a dark grey which matches. That's what i was going for in mine. I can get rid of the thin white outline in PS, i added that in.

[Valeyard]

Part of the issue is the hue is quite dark. You could also go to tri-colour if you wanted:

^Anyone can play around with the settings with that one as everything is separated into layers.

It's probably best to have one logo for the light theme and another for the dark theme.

Your bevel effect looks really weird.
