You can change your theme by going to "My Account" then clicking the "Edit" link at the top, and then clicking "theme configuration" and selecting one of them. Then save your profile, using the button at the bottom of the page.
Note that for mobile devices, I recommend using the "noon" or the "midnight" themes. The image-heavy, spacious themes "art" and "houses" are only really suitable for large-format displays (recommend a 1080p, 24" monitor or better).
Noon (default, good for mobile and slow connections):

Midnight (good for mobile and slow connections):

Art (needs a large monitor with resolution up to 1920x1080):

Houses (needs a large monitor with resolution at or above 1920x1080):

The entire Morroblivion.com site has now been moved to a new server and has been updated throughout. You may notice a bit of a new look, but for the most part, everything should be the same. PLEASE let me know either here or by private message if you are encountering any problems.
OK you should now have your usual formatting controls. You can still use BBCode if you want, but doing it with the formatting bar is easier.
It would be nice if one could delete his threads and posts ... helps with double posting issues.
Unfortunately, this is difficult to implement without granting permissions that could destabilize the forums. Hopefully people will just go to their double-posts and hit "edit" and then delete the content. Double-posting doesn't seem to be a huge issue anyway for now.
Completed a few more site updates, including:
PLEASE let me know if you experience any problems with anything.
Big thanks to Zach for moving the site over to a new server and making all of this possible!
hello again guys i see a lot of new faces around here , old dude from the old forums i help a little bit with quests and stuff
i like the new forums ! its good to see ppl putting effort in this , i was thinking that some of them forgot about this project and it was abandoned.
i have a little problem with this forum , i see it LONG , like the width is bad or the bars to the sides with options are too big , i see one post take the full screen ... its this ok ?
Site updated with most recent modules / plugins etc... thanks for your patience, site was down for about 30 minutes.
EDIT: Also did some theming for online/offline icons and fixed the display of avatars in the bugs and issues section (finally!)
Some updates for the site for 2012!
- Mobile version now works (let me know anyway... I can only test this on my phone)
- Quote functionality added to forums
Hey Thermador! While I'm really happy to hear you're working on a mobile version of the site, to be honest, it looks like crap on my phone. As it looks right now, I'd prefer the Desktop version to the "Mobile Version."
Maybe it's on my end? I'll post some pics. Using an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1. What phone are you using Thermador?
Thanks for the mobile version though! I hope we get this working well!
Edit: Eh, in some of the site links, it looks pretty good. In some other places it doesn't. I've been manuevering around the site on my iPhone. While it may not look good, it's still pretty functional. I'll get back with you when I've had a bit more time on the mobile site.
But regardless, this is good progress. Great work!
If I go to morroblivion.com from the url search bar, I get the first, which kinda looks off. If I go to a Morroblivion link, say Gallery, and then go back, I get the second pic, which looks better and more aligned right. The gallery section looks okay, but the threads look pretty weird if you ask me.
Also, since it's a mobile version website, I can't use the pinch to zoom feature. Not a big deal if the mobile site is optimized though, but if one feels they need it, it's not there.
Yeah sorry I am still trying to figure out why the forums do that... annoying. you can always switch back to the full version at the very bottom of the page.
I don't even really have a cell phone, but its exciting to hear about the progress! lol
Anyhow, after reading Robert's post there I had an idea/request:
Would you be able to do some sort of a picture to the sides of the thread, like how Tes Nexus' main page looks? That'd be uber cool to see a morroblivion sunset or whatnot!
Just an idea. ;)
OK well the mobile theme is mostly working, let me know if you guys run into any more issues.
Oh heck yeah Thermador, much, much better, I'm liking this! Threads look great now! Thank you do much! What kind of phone and web browser are you using by the way?
Edit: Dang, I know this isn't a real big deal, but I'm still not getting that nice alignment with my web browsers (Safari and Dolphin). I've used Opera, which seems to work fine, but to be honest, I always use Safari and would like to keep that as my main web browser.
Here's what I'm talking about:
This space right here: ---> | | <--- shouldn't be there, right?
Maybe those text-entry bars are too long?
Here's what I'm guessing how it should look?
I have an Android phone running CyanogenMod 7.1.0-11 / Android 2.3.7 (i.e. the latest version of Gingerbread). I am using Android's default webkit-based browser and FireFox for android. Both are working fine for me.
You're right though, it probably is the text-entry boxes, I will see if I can fix that easily in the CSS.
robertneville777, I think I fixed it. Let me know if that works for you.
How is it now? I am testing on Dolphin, Opera, Android Browser, and Firefox Mobile now. Seems like all of the text boxes and subject lines etc. are working.
I have everything aligned as best I can, but if people post images or really long links, it will still run over, not much I can do about that unfortunately. Have you tried some forum threads that don't have images?
Next step is fixing the private message system heh...
Unfortunately not that I know of - that is based on the browser's decision of whether to display links as a block or wrap them.
Android Browser, Firefox, Dolphin all behave the same: both images and long links / text strings are put in a scrollable area off to the right. You have to move the screen to see this overflow, so there isn't wasted white space running down the whole page.
Opera doesn't wrap images at all (leaving a big column of wasted white space), but it does wrap long links / text strings very nicely
PM system is working about as well as I can make it - it will look a lot better with the phone held in landscape mode, but should work ok in portrait mode.
Thanks, that is interesting. I believe that is already built in however. For example, the mobile Morroblivion theme already has this in the meta:
<meta name = "viewport" content = "user-scalable=no, width=device-width, maximum-scale=1.0" />
The main issue is that most mobile browsers are not standards-compliant and they all try to "optimize your mobile web experience" with different hacks and workarounds, which a half-assed web designer such as myself has to then hack and workaround.
So really, it depends on your browser and how it interperets CSS tags like {display:} and {white-space:} and {overflow:}.
For example, I could add code to the CSS template that is
body, html {overflow:scroll;}
So it can be really hard to get things to look "right" across all browsers, all phones/tablets (different screen resolutions) etc. Overall, you should be fine as long as no one posts images or long unbroken text / link strings.
Also, iceburg333, I try to use almost no images in the site's theme in order to keep bandwidth down for Zach's server and to help keep the site running speedily.
Try clearing your history, cache, and cookies in your browsers settings?
"Also, iceburg333, I try to use almost no images in the site's theme in order to keep bandwidth down for Zach's server and to help keep the site running speedily."
I wondered. That sounds like a fair enough trade off. Bummer though.
Hey, what about swaping the old logo for the one I made in the project logo thread?
or
;)
So ... Who deleted the database?
Also the home page is unavailable. (Access denyed)
edit:
Ohh. OK.
Haha sorry, I am dumb. Been messing with permission modules and ... forgot to re-enable permissions lol.
Anyway, should be back to normal. Also added basic user profile functionality (check my profile or edit your own)
Haha, I thought we were under some kind of attack.
geesh, lol
Latest update: New site logo courtesy of Ice as well as an image rotator for the front page.
Those screenshots it displays are kind of old now, but I will be updating them in the next week or so.
Sweet. :D

hi, im new here and i want to install the morroblivion mod, but need to know 2 things first.
1. can i separate oblivion from morrowind again? is it easy?
2. is it safe to do this?
Um, yes, you can always separate them IF you either backup your \Oblivion\Data\ folder before you install OR IF you properly install the mod with Wrye Bash - (get the "automated installer" version).
It seems like you don't know much about Oblivion Mods. You should really read the read the Oblivion Mods FAQ and make sure you understand it
You may also want to read the Morroblivion FAQ as well
Holy crap, site updates!
Please let me know if you have any problems / bugs / ideas / suggestions etc. et al. ad infinium
Thank you thermador!)
Thanks Thermador! This is by far the best upgrade this site has ever seen, even better than the upgrade that gave us the mobile version. :)
The only thing I could suggest would be the ability to move those new collapsible menus around in a different order. Other than that, everything is looking really really great.
Some updates:

I did actually look into that, and from what I can tell, it's not really possible to do that. The best I can do is collapsible/expandable menus that remember whether you want them collapsed or expanded, and then you can also turn each one on or off in your profile. Close enough I guess.
Although I know it would be cool if each person could move them around, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do that.
Ah, oh well. Everything else is still awesome though. :)
Thanks a lot Thermador.
Awesome job Thermador! Looks great! :D
Thermador, you're awesome.
I think the changes you've already made are perfect, and I agree with Clint 100%.
It would be awesome if we could do changeable themes, but that's just a fun aesthetic thing and everything else works. If we got changable themes sweet, but I think everything else is just fine as it is.
My 2 cents as well.
I have noticed that if posting in a thread and you just put text into the subject or title line only,it seems to stop the page displaying all posts that are done before that post.At least that is what seems to be happening on my brower.
So could posters please put something into the body of the post before saving.?
Yes I know this is not the correct forum to post this, but there isn't a site setion so I thought that this would be the best place to put it to get some attention.
Would it be possible to either rethink or remove the captcha reply form whilst posting? I appreciate that you don't want spam here and indeed this forum is impressivly spam-free compared to say the openmw forums (and they use dedicated anti-spam software). However at the moment the system is somewhat inconvinient because you can go to post and think you're done only to find that it's not posted (after you've closed the tab). I can also imagine it's annoying for users with non-standard keyboards. How about removing the requirement for users with over 20 posts or something?
OK, the best I can do is change from #2 to #4 (should have done this long ago).
So now as long as you pass one captcha, you won't have to pass it again as long as you stay logged in.
Also, site members with "contributor" status and above bypass all Captchas. If you have been releasing mods or something, then let me know and I'll change your status. :-)
