I'll use this thread to highlight the tweaks I'm making to the forums. All updated will be in the OP.

Added a new theme. You can use it by clicking on the theme title in the footer on the left.

Added all TXB smilies.

Removed the ability to have signatures.

Added the ability to have a custom user title.

Changed "Members Online Now" in side bar to show all online.

Changed so you can view all registered members rather than just "Notable" and "Current."

Installed 'Who's viewing the thread," at the bottom of each thread.

Removed home buttons since it seemed to be causing logging out problems.

Added a dark style. It's a beta right now and there may be some color issues.

Only members can see the forum.

Added the ability to add your Xbox Live Gamertag, PSN ID or Steam Profile to your avatar block.

Added a mid-tone theme.

Edited the reply bar of the mid-tone theme so it is more easy to read and use.

Changed the unread color of thread titles and added page numbers to the forum list for each thread in mid-tone theme. added page numbers to the forum list for each thread for Default and B&W.

Changed the B&W and Default theme's unread color to differentiate them better.

Reorganized forum layout to put rules/bugs. etc. at the bottom.

Created a slim version of The Union Mid-Tone theme.

Merged the gaming threads and added prefixes to highlight the platform(s) the topic relates to.

Fixed page numbers to make more visible on Mid-Tone styles.

Changed staff name colors to differentiate from regular members.

Removes RSS feed icons.

Reorganized game forums.

Implemented a swear filter.

Added a front page.

Added Amazon Affiliate banners.

Added Microsoft Affiliate banners.

Added two new dark themes. UnionVGF Fusion and UnionVGF Fusion Fluid.

I like the black and white theme better. That one should be the default. Or better yet one with some green in it to symbolize the TXB origins.

Yeah the black and white theme is definitely better looking.

Any chance of having a list of which members are viewing which area at any time? I realise there's a list for who is online, then for who is viewing each thread when clicked on. Is it possible to have, for example, a list of members who are viewing the OTL or other sub forums?

Thanks.

Edit: Also, is there an option for multi-quote?

Yea just click on Reply next to the post number on the right and it will put it in the quick post part at the bottom, then click on another Reply to continuing adding them.
 
I like the mid-tone theme just added it's easy on the eyes thanks Plainview :bow:

Just a suggestion. How about a throwback teamxbox theme (for the home sick lol)

As of right now, the Union Mid-Tone Style is the best by far. Not too dark. Not too light. Just right. Easy on my eyes.

I've been using the B&W one so far and I like it. I find the Mid-Tone to be just a tad too grey for me.

Same here. The white doesn't bother me and this look has already grown on me. I tried the dark theme and it was much much too dark and the mid-tone is alright but I just don't like how some of the UI elements look in it.
 
Wow, really impressed with the forum layout and theme. Feels like a modern forum.
 
For each thread, if you click the subject title it goes to the first page in the thread. That makes sense.

However, to see how many pages are in the thread, you have to hover your mouse over it and the page buttons show up. Is there a way to show for each thread maybe the last 5 page buttons at all times? Or something like that?
 
I see that thread titles have the names of the maker under them. It would be nice to have the name on who's the latest person who posted or replied in a particular thread
