NEW THEMES - BUGs?

As with any drastic change there's always going to be something I forgot to do or that isn't working properly. Alas it happens to the best of us.

THEMES ARE: (at time of posting)

Blue/Black
Blue/Black 1024 (removes side graphics)
Black/White
Black/White 1024 (removes side graphics)

Please post your bugs, or issues about the themes in this thread. I'm going to leave this in General Discussion cause I want people to see it!

PLEASE tell me what theme you are using and what you are doing! Don't just assume I know what your talking about. SCREENSHOTS are really nice too.

Blue/Black

Are the "divider" bars supposed to come in twos? I think it looks rather odd, should only be one, right?

HALT! HAMMERZEIT!

Blue/Black, new posts button is a 404 error when you use it from the main page, every where else it seems to work fine

ACEMAN EDIT: FIXED - ALL THEMES. IT was a linking issue.

Cannot view any thread in new thesmes loads blank page. I can view them in modern only
reset cookies and cleared everything out of the IE dir.
CLARIFICATION loads a graphical band on either side but content isnt shown.

ACEMAN EDIT: CONFIRMED/WIP - I've noticed a lag with pages rendering out then boom it shows up. I'm looking into what's causing this. More soon.

NEW THEMES - BUGs?

First off, some general advice: always design for Firefox, then debug in IE. That's the advice of someone who has been doing CSS stuff for several years. As long as you set a proper doc-type and write valid code, if you design it using Firefox as your development browser, you'll find it a lot easier to fix the few IE bugs than if you do it the other way around, as IE is too forgiving on a lot of common CSS errors.

That said, here are the problems:

Header:
* Main header image is missing and all the featured thread images are pushed to the top for anyne running Firefox with Adblock Plus installed - this is because the image path contains the word 'ads'. Would recommend changing the path, though Adblock Plus users can exclude it.
* Featured Thread icons go nowhere. Links don't work.

ACEMAN EDIT: CONFIRMED - We'll be renaming that directory. I'm using an OLD ad rotator that just happened to be in an ads folder. I'll get that changed to features or something.
Feature Icons - Are only static at the moment. The system that runs those is being recoded by Norman. I'll make sure to at least put live links too them.

Forum list:
* Forum category headers are double height. The problem is caused by the spacer images on the right cells of the header rows getting wrapped above the collapse icons. Shouldn't need a spacer image here anyway - just set a width and height to the cell.

ACEMAN EDIT: FIXED - ALL THEMES.

So far, it looks good otherwise - I really like the design. I'll let you know if I spot any more bugs.

1024 is a bit larger than 1024
gp

ACEMAN EDIT: Confirmed. I'll do what I can to bring it in alittle more. I'm on a big monitor so I didn't catch at issue until lastnight, when I decided to make the 1024 versions. I'll do what I can to fix that.

The option for the "classic" skin seems to have disappeared, though I'm not sure if that was a bug or not

ACEMAN EDIT: Not a bug - The modern them is going to go away soon. BUT I will make a version like it that's formatted alittle more like the new theme. (I can't updated 50 themes each time I want to change something. I need a life.)
