There is a new forum underway with lots of developers working on the project. I generally am used to posting from my laptop anyway but I genernally prefer it when forum administrators enable the Tapatalk plugin for my phone. I may not like the plane jane look of this forum anyway but to give to programmers at SMF credit, "plane jane" is suitable to any topic, and a theme like this is easily package-able. CakePHP for example comes with a similar plain looking theme that is easy for developers to work with. Customization is key.

bitcointalk.org is good and minimal in my opinion, I love this 'design/theme' but maybe it is only a question of habit.

I've heard bitcointalk's been planning a makeover, which I really think it needs. Take a look at the steam forums, they are beautiful. At least in the top section of the page, make the buttons bigger...

This forum serves its purpose, which is a platform to discuss bitcoin. Doesn't need a colourful theme. It's simple and it works.

That's how I feel. Many bright and vibrant forum themes nowadays distract from the content and sometimes hurts my eyes.

I don't have any problem with the current theme. In my case I find it more simple and easy to look at and unlike other forums, I can stay in this forum in a whole day without actually hurting my eyes. (I have some eye issues so simplicity is a friend to me).

I honestly don't mind the default SMF theme that much. It's clean and easy on the eyes at least.

I'd want an easy way to indicate I like this comment and agree with it.  Back me up!

To me it's fine with its simplicity, and not distracting at all.

@OP, the design might look really weird now (I personally thought that as well when I first got here), but you get used to it and now I personally like it.

The only problem with the actual one that it isn't a phone friendly..
I visit this forum from mobile every day even now I am posting this reply from my mobile and I dont have any problem

He means that it isn't mobile friendly; the site appears exactly the same on mobile as it does on computers. However, I don't really have a problem with that since I'm so used to the forum anyways.

Well i have the same impression now and i think I will start whining about how ugly the new forum will look before I get used to it.

I don't think any such new forum is being built.Its just rumuor that just went off.

LMAO! Yes, that's why the "New forum software" section is there (and has the description of "Discussion about the new forum software under development").

A new forum is being built which also looks better than the current theme. I believe Theymos doesn't use other themes because they might mess with the code changes that he has made in SMF for this forum.

Does anyone know when and how this new forum will be implemented or have any more info about it? Thanks!

It does exist. The source is available on github. You can also see discussion about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=167.0
