Hi markjoseph,
1) I’m not getting any major issues with the font when I view it with chrome on my end. Can you go to the google font site and view your chosen font and see if you have the same visual issues. If so, it could just be the rendering of the font from google.

2) For the logo, you can try replacing the logo at its location on your host via ftp if the upload through wordpress is giving you issues. Its direct url is:
http://fivestoneapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Website-Logo-e1360404335520.jpgI don’t see any difference in the two images, but you may want to try saving your image as a png or gif format since the jpeg format is designed to downgrade the file to a small file size first and quality second.
3) Is it for this page: http://goo.gl/xAoLa
From the looks of it you have the portfolio images correctly working right now.
Regards,
Devin
Hi –
I just purchased the Shoutbox theme and got most of it up and running. However, on the thumbnails below the slider the picture isn’t displaying for the videos I post.
Also, when I add a ‘featured image’ the size is way off and too large. What dimensions do I change in order for the picture to fit within the thumbnails below the slider? Please advise. Thanks – J
I am working with the velvet theme (esp because of video capability) which is great but would like to make an adjustment to the background content box. I am using ‘boxed content’ in order to have background image but I would like to get the boxed content area to read as two boxes rather than one (akin to Twicet homepage) such that there is an upper box that would combine header and slideshow and a lower box that would contain other content and footer. I want to beable to read the background image in the gap between the upper and lower box…Perhaps a clearer way to express this is to make boxed content area transparent and add background to smalled content boxes. Any help would be much appreciated. I am new to this – so I may not be expressing this properly. I am working on a local host and so development work is not online but I could email you a screen grab to illustrate. I would also like to use the twiset menu format – so that the submenu is revealed through drop down menu

Hey,
1) I’ll forward the video suggestions to Kriesi.
2) I’ll search around – very likely I can find a notification plugin for bbpress. You can subscribe threads with the rss buttons for now.
3) You can use services like http://imageshack.us to upload screenshorts and http://mediafire.com to upload files. I really like the approach of this forum to not allow any uploads. It’s always a security risk, causes traffic and storage problems and costs. It also increases loading times because you have to download additional scripts and resources to implement the upload functions or toolbars in general. Only a few user need this feature and they can use external services.
4) I don’t like the idea of pn in support forums because:
a) we respect that many users don’t want to give away any contact data (privacy policy)
b) we want to avoid that certain users get “spammed” with how-to requests. I know that it’s an advantage of communities that users can help each other. However some users aren’t interested in doing our work or helping us out or they even want to charge something for cutomizations we would help users with for free.
That said, I’m glad if users help each other in the support forum. If someone needs the contact data of another person/user he can explain the situation to us and we’ll decide if we give away the contact details or not.
I’m not able to delete anything (i.e. menu item from menu manager, image from front slider).
I tried uninstalling the theme and installing again but that didn’t help. Why did it lock up on me like this?
I can’t add new pages to menu either.

Thanks for all the replies.
I plan on getting the 1st video (installing WP and setting up a theme) this week, after editing / revisions should be online by Monday.
@cwrigley I see you’ve already started a Showcase thread, this may be moved to a separate showcase section in due course.
@batesy I don’t know of any tutorials on theme building, if you mean HTML -> WordPress conversion this is something I may put together myself over a series of tutorials (there’s so much that goes into a theme that one video would put people to sleep :-) The site you linked to was built by someone who probably put the whole site together (including the book image) in Photoshop and then converted it to HTML – this would be something completely separate from converting HTML -> WP.

Is there any place to find tuts on theme building?
I’d love to replicate the look of something like the following site for a few friends who want book sites.
It kinda looks simple – separate header image, hover menu, two columns … but I have no idea where to begin to try and create my own version. I’m not looking to build any fancy functions into it, just want to keep it clean and direct. Book image, background, menu. That’s it. In fact, I can never find a simple enough theme for what I need.
Which is why I suppose I will have to build it myself… unfortunately this won’t work because I’m an idiot!! :)
