New responsive forum themes

[Stu]

To make viewing and using the forum easier for members accessing it from mobile devices, we have introduced some new responsive themes, which will make using this forum a much improved experience on those devices, as well as offering a clean modern look on traditional desktop or laptop browsers.

You will all know and be familiar with the 'Default SMF Theme' that this SMF-powered forum has been using for the last few years:


SMF has been the forum software of choice for many websites, and its default layout is undoubtedly well-established and easy to use for many users. But its design is from an age where few people used the internet on mobile browsers, however times have changed, and for those who predominately access the internet from mobile devices with smaller screens, it can be fiddly and inaccessible.

In recent years, many websites have acknowledged the rise in people accessing the internet from mobile devices, by taking advantage of new browsing technology, such as HTML5, and Bootstrap CSS, which deliver a new clean responsive design, and adapts websites to offer a seamless user experience across all devices, whether viewed in a mobile, or desktop web browser.

So we have installed two new themes for users to use and try out, in the hope that it will enrich your mobile experience, while still being completely useable on a 'traditional' desktop PC.

I hope you find the new themes of benefit, especially if you mainly access the forum from your smartphone, but if you don't, please feel free to revert back to the Default SMF Theme, the choice will always be yours.
