Now that even Microsoft has begun to make dark themes for their programs, do you consider making a dark colored Metro theme ? That would be very much appreciated!

Hello,

We think of it and probably release such version. But I can’t tell when.

I cant get the sidebar to show, no matter what I try. My code in index_body <!- Sidebar goes below -> <!- INCLUDE sidebar.html ->

You would think that the top 2 lines would go below the sidebar , that didn’t work either. I am on phpbb 3.1.6. Everything else works.

Hello,

Did you try to refresh the board cache after editing?

That was it, thank you!

Hi, On the new version the sidebar is moved over the main content for smaller screens. This is not a good idea.

We have previously talked via email and I managed to change it on the forum index, but I am not able to do it in the single-forum and single-thread cases.

The reason is I have to somehow end the div somewhere after the code.

In the case of index_body.html it is OK cause the content is loaded with “include”, but for viewforum_body and viewtopic_body it is not the same.

I did not hear back from you via email about this.

Could you please help me?

hi, I have sent you an email a few days ago. any luck?

Hello,

We were planning to add the changes in the nearest updated. Is it OK for you or do you need it urgent? If urgent, we could send the updated templates directly to you.

I can wait, thanks a lot :)

I’m struggling to get a responsive logo to work consistently as the site scales through various sizes.. I followed the tutorial you linked in the theme instructions but it’s still less than ideal.

As this is advertised as a responsive theme is there any chance you might update to include proper responsive logo support as standard?

Hello,

The problem of the responsive logo is that people have different logos – some are narrow, some are wide, so it’s hardly impossible to create common css-code for all kind of logos. So we added the link to the tutorial. But if you want a single logo for all resolutions, please contact us via our profile page – we’ll send you instructions.

Brilliant, thanks I’ll do that now :-)

Can you give me all the images for the template in PNG format?

Hi there, My forum is in french. Accent letters such as “é” displays properly everywhere except in the footer where it is replaced by : ? . See “About” site : chirogroupe.ca

Thanks, Rich

oups, wrong theme. sorry You may erase this message.

No problem)

Hi,

Just a quickie. There seems to be a problem with checkboxes. I noticed it for moderator actions such as marking a post to split etc. where they are missing and therefore it’s not possible to mark a post.

Just realised there’s no checkbox on the login dialog to stay logged in either.

Hello,

Which version of the theme do you use and in what browsers causes the issue?

It is the latest version of the theme from here, the problem is with Safari 9 in Mac OSX El Capitan.

Hello,

What is the problem? The sidebar doesn’t show or something else?

Hey, yes exactly. This is my forum ( http://fantasyleague.pl/ ) and i don’t know what is wrong

Hello, is it possible to add the sidebar (right column) in all forum pages and not only in the forum homepage?

Can you please give me at least some hints about where to add the sidebar code?

Thanks, Marco

Hello,

Sure, it’s possible. And it’s fully described in the documentation. Just read it carefully :)

Hi, I’m trying to migrate my phpbb 3.0 forum to 3.1. I’m having troubles with updated 3.1 version of Golden Metro theme: why logo is not fully responsive as it was on 3.0 version? In your documentation you link a tutorial that suggests to use four different images for every resolution! Why do I have to do that when in the old version of your theme I used just one image for all resolutions? Can you tell me how to change css to bring back full responsiveness on logo? Thank you.

Hi, I recently updated my forum using your newest version of the Metro theme, and I am having an issue with the sidebar and ads. When I add the sidebar and ads, and shrink the viewing window (or view on a mobile device, the ads appear first, then the forum.

When I view the live preview of the site here: http://phpbb3.pixelgoose.com/preview-metro/?theme=Blue%20Metro , the ad in the sidebar goes to the bottom when viewed on a smaller device.

How can I get this same effect. I don’t want someone coming to my forum on a mobile device to be first greated with ads.

Hello,

Please contact us via our profile page, I’ll send you instructions.

Ive sent an email to you via the profile page and have not heard back

Hello,

Please check your inbox :)

I have an error: Uncaught TypeError: $(...).live is not a function

when i’m NOT logged in.

Also, please respond to my previous question about related topics.

Thanks!

Hello,

I’ve just downloaded the pack with Metro for phpBB 3.1 from themeforest.com and checked the “viewtopic_body.thml”. As you can see it doesn’t include any “S_RELATED_RESULTS” variable -

http://pastebin.com/LHm7WVLm

It’s phpbb-seo mod ‘fault’, but i don’t know why related section was ‘injected’ in template due to fact that the mod was installed a long time ago, and after installing metro theme i didn’t run any MOD setup… I found where i can activate it but related section uses some css classes that doesn’t exists in metro theme, so i have to forget about it for now… Thanks! (BTW: javascript code executes now in sidebar)

Hello,

We’re glad you managed to fix the issue. As for “related topics”, I think you should really use “Precise Similar Topics” addon. And feel free to contact us if you still have any questions :)

How would I be able to incorporate these features in to the template:

I hope you can help me make these changes, thank you very much! :D

Hello,

You just need to use a plugin for this. I think this one will help you – https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=456&t=2259046

Hi I’m trying to decide between yours and another theme so I have a couple questions:

[ 1. ] When do you plan on updating the theme to be compatible with phpBB v3.1.6 released today?:

https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2335426

[ 2. ] Do I need a separate plugin to do the following with your theme?:

Add/edit/Delete Main Menu and Mobile Menu
Add/edit/Delete Logo and/or a text logo
Add/edit/Delete Social network links and icons. – You can also set if the links are visible for Registered users or Guests
Add Google adsense or custom banner/ads in different forum locations
Add Google Analytics account
Add Twitter Account
Add/edit/Delete About Us Block
Enable/Disable a Modal Login
Apply Different Avatars frame Effects
Change poster layout position, left, right and alternate
Enable/Disable Sub-header and Footer Block
Add/edit/Delete Forum Background

[ 3. ] How easy is this to install and manage? Do you have any videos online or documentation?

[ 4. ] How big are all the files unzipped?

[ 5. ] Are all the js/css files minified and is this SEO friendly?

Hi! Is it possible, in viewtopic, when widht is smaller to hide or to reposition the avatar so that text the entire width of screen? It’s the only thing i observe now, and stop me from bying this theme.

Is this theme compatible with phpbb SEO version? I have phpbb 3.0.11 with SEO url’s. I guess i have to make some theme changes to work with permalinks.

Looking forward for your answer.

Thank you!

I had to make all the changes explained in “prosilver changes” from SEO package. It works..

No jajascript error, but no content.. I sent an email from profile contact form.

I’ve just replied. Please check your inbox.

Hi! In viewtopic_body.html is S_RELATED_RESULTS variable to display related topics. Where i activate related topics? Thanks!
