Hey everyone,
I wanted to clear up a couple things about the features of the plan this forum is on and talk a little about themes and custom theme components.
First off, the forum isn’t self-hosted or paid for. Forest negotiated conditional free hosting from Discourse, which basically means that since the forum meets a certain set of guidelines, we are hosted by them.
This is your pro bono Discourse community, hosted by the people who make Discourse! For more information about the pro bono hosting plan, see here.
The plan itself is also a little unique and is sort of a cross between the Starter and Standard plans. We have 50k pageviews per month, access to theme components and themes, some plugins, solutions, and so on, but not quite as many options or bandwith as the Standard plan does.
Anyways, to move on to the next subject, the forum doesn’t have any themes- the only theme component is a little CSS I found and edited that changes staff username and shield color to be a light blue.
span.username {
&.moderator .d-icon.d-icon-shield-halved {
color: #2596be;
}
&.admin .d-icon.d-icon-shield-halved {
color: #2596be;
}
}
span.username {
&.moderator a {
color: #2596be;
}
&.admin a {
color: #2596be;
}
}
But a lot of people like having themes other than the default one, so if you have any requests you can reply to this message or contact the staff. Additional themes don’t cost us anything, including storage.
The other thing is that Forest has brought up the creation of a Prodigy theme several times. I’m going to work on developing this although the biggest hurdle will probably involve fair use and copyright.
Anyways, bottom line here is that there are lots of themes we can add, and you can search Theme - Discourse Meta if you’re curious to look at some. If you want to make your own theme, you can make it a Git repository or give us the code and we’ll add it into a custom theme here on the forum directly.
Thanks for reading this shortish message and have a good afternoon.
Yay, :)
