Thread post redesign - cleaner look, easier reading

[coto.i]

I've made a small redesign of the anatomy of the thread post.

The objective is to make the threads easier to read, while retaining necessary information.

The main problem is the section of meta-info (Last edited, Thanks, Rating, Signature - and there might be more) that comes after the actual message of the post and stays in the way of reading the thread without interruptions.

Here is a before and after.

Looks good, but is this a personal setup?
because I don't see it, not in dark, and not in normal mode in SilverLight.
and not after browser restart either.

These are just graphics I made in a design application, starting from the prosilver theme. And the proposal to be implemented in the forum by the admins.

This entirely depends on the theme chosen.
Initailly I picked the cleanest theme available on phpbb, but it's not perfect either.

I personally really like Anami / Ariki / Hawiki themes by Gramziu here: https://themeforest.net/user/gramziu/portfolio

I would adapt one of these layouts if I had more time.

Anami looks legit. With proper retouchings, the forum's appearance will take a modern leap, and navigation will be even easier.
Maybe you should take these suggestions to the Team Discussions section for discussion and voting. I can somewhat help with the adoption process if needed.

Um... yeah.
How are we going with this?

[duome]

I'm hesitating to introduce the changes into the existing (familiar) environment.. )

Oh, you got something ready? Can you implement it on the mods section for testing? I'm curious.

[duome]

[mention]Alivated[/mention] , there is now a semi-transparent grey square in the top right corner in the header, it'll be a secret toggle for testing the new look

Right now I'm testing the old-fashioned blue duolingo header to make all duome pages consistent.

[mention]duome[/mention] Very clever. I like the blue header better

I see a new toggle feature for statistics on the profile side of the page. A changelog post here, maybe? Will help keep track of things anyway.

Last minute changes...
Yes, a changelog is always a good idea )
