If you find one you like post it here.

Also, we will should probably have two, one for inner core and one for the public section.

The demo looks good on computer down to iPhone 5. That would be a nice one. I looked at some other responsive themes and they are either really big type on large screen (lots of scrolling) or horrible typography on small screen (lots of squinting).

Something more phone friendly. What Ergo said.

I added this:

And I think I like it!  What say you?

Looks good on my phone and my desktop.

I added a grey theme for the Inner Core so there is an obvious distinction between the public and private sections.  There are other color variations on the default theme if you all think it is too monochromatic.

Scratch that, the theme didn't play nice with the responsive plugin -- looking for another solution.

What about the nffc suggested? That worked well on all my devices in the demo

Er, I don't find that theme aesthetically pleasing.  I'll put that one up as an option and you'll be able to select it in your profile settings if you want it.

This one is difficult to read for these old tired eyes. The old one was good, wasn't broken, didn't need fixing.

[added] OK, just read the reason. Belay my previous.

Woz, if there is a compatible theme you like let me know.

I did a slight modified curve theme for the IC so that it will be more easily distinguished.  I also added a version of the Konusal-bootstrap theme that you can select by going into your profile and then click on "Look and Layout".  There you will find a link that allows you to select the theme you want.  If you pick the a theme other than the first choice (Forum or Board Default) it will override the default theme for the forum overall or the modified curve theme for the IC section.

Also, if you hate the mod I did for Konusal-bootstrap let me know.  I used the old logo from when this was a private board and it filled me with nostalgia.

Thanks Heather.  Tom & Mark, is the bootstrap theme working for you?

Once again LM, thanks for all the effort.

Both themes work fine for me actually. I just checked the default on my phone and it's good and so is the bootstrap theme.

I find the mobile version not great to be honest.

It does not highlight topics with new posts. On desktop it does though.

Is there a setting?

Hmm, I am seeing an orangy-yellow "new" on the default theme when tunneling into the boards.  The "recent topics" page doesn't get it, but on the far right there is a little icon that brings you to the last post.   They are both there on my Android phone.

Added:  Is it possible to show a screenshot of what you are seeing?

I read this thread last, so maybe I just don't have it.

I get the little "New" icon next to threads that supposedly have new content (though when I go to talk/unread they aren't there and many are quite old).

Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing? I don't think I understand the question

I'm using the konsual theme with the vintage core logo.  Upper right if I click on my name I get a drop down with Unread since last visit. Click. Get list of new threads marked New.  Took me awhile to find that.

All seems to work on my Android tablet.  Works on phone.  Both lag in resizing though.

Love the vintage logo with Spy.
