AMAZING. I love it those 2 colours would normally never fit but you made it work FFW. One of your bestest themes so far

Thanks Jag.

I really really like this theme but noticed a small thing under the forumdisplay_announcements_announcement which explains why broken images are shown for announcements.
It says there: <td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$folder}" alt=""/></td>

I added <td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$folder}.gif" alt=""/></td>

which solved it.
Same goes for "forumdisplay_announcement" <== this one was one you actually added, since the default is "forumdisplay_announcements"

Edit, you won't see the "broken image" in Firefox, because Firefox ignores it and shows an empty space instead. That's why I never noticed it before. But you do see it in IE.

Thank you for reporting this issue. I had not noticed it.

FirefoxWiz,

There's something else I've noticed as well... Since I never use IE (and I guess you don't use IE either ), I've had a few complaints about the BlueSand Theme in IE.
If you view it in IE (IE7 especially - don't know how it looks in IE6), the theme is "lagging" when you scroll - it's like a "wave" .
Not sure how to explain this exactly, but if you view it in IE, you'll see what I mean.
It's the way how IE handles gradients/repeat-x - basically a "repaint bug" in IE7.
More info here: http://www.designdetector.com/bugs/ie7-repaint-bug.html#
I could temporary fix this by removing the gradient background and put a plain color there instead. It's better now if you view it in IE7 - but I'm having a hard time to fix it for the forumcategories on the index page - since that causes the "lag" as well.
This is what I mean for the categories:
[attachment=8620]

But as I said, this is a bug in IE7 and thought I could find a way to workaround this, because there should be a way - but I can't find it
So maybe you have an idea?
(yeah I know, I can recommend people to use Firefox instead... )

IE Tab is IE6...

Something screws up with the example page, in IE6... So it might be that it's just M$. It's a love, hate battle.
