I am in need of your suggestion and recommendation for our support forum. Honestly, i have lots of comments and emails asking for theme support which i did not approve and reply due to a simple reasons “i don’t like to use comments system for support” and “i don’t like sending same reply in same question”, so, i need your suggestion and recommendation of a good forum board and styles or templates of it to be use on our theme support. As for the style, i want it to be simple.

Also, obscure and newspress will be upgraded to version 2 which is compatible with wordpress 3.0 and supports most of its new features such as menu management, custom backgrounds, etc. And unfortunately, upon releasing the of obscure and newspress version 2, all other themes will be pull out in downloads and support prior for upgrade.

So for support? help me on this first. Thank you.

this is just a small update for fixes on newspress theme option, wrong year copyright, obscorp footer credits issue and other i don’t remember.

DOWNLOAD: newspress v1.2.2 (585), obscorp v1.1 (347)

sorry for very late posting of this update as i’m working with wpcrunchy updates and if it goes live all support question will be answered promptly.

Here’s  the awaited update for newspress to fix the comment issue. If you have already customized your theme then just copy the file index.php, single.php and folder inc to your theme files. Sorry for the super late update as im very busy revising all my themes ( structure, browser support which includes ie7, hooks for customization, etc ).

Regarding the thumbnail and featured posts images issue, just set the file permission of timthumb.php and folder cache to 777 and images must be uploaded in your wordpress not an external image from other site. if none of this works then it’ your end that has a problem, for that, contact your host to fix the issue.

Lastly, about the footer widget, you can only edit or customize that part by requesting a link removal. see our license page

As posted in status on my twitter account, I’m announcing today the released of version 1.2 of my Newspress theme, includes re-coding the whole structure for much cleaner code and better markup, added more SEO features not just breadcrumb, now support threaded comment and wordpress 2.9 post thumbnail, as well as the implementation of my new theme options panel.

On the side note, when upgrading prior to this version, your previous settings will be lost!.

So that’s it, if there’s anything i missed or found bugs, error, etc kindly post a comment. Cheers!

Who says i’m not listening to all the bugs complain? and not reading all the bugs report mail? Well here’s my answer

Today, I’m proud to announce to you the version 1.2 release of one of my popular themes – OBSCURE. It’s been a months since i promised to update my themes but not able to do so that soon as i’m super busy with my job and life as well ( same reason for late replying support email and comments :] ) so please chill and patiently wait for theme updates as it will be really coming. Well moving on with the announcement, below are what the update covers:

• major changed of core structure ( now build in 960 grid system )
• revamp typography of the theme
• compatible with latest wordpress version
• threaded comment support
• wordpress v2.9 post thumbnail support
• page and category menu are now both nested and ready for dropdown effect

On a side note, please ensure that you check this tutorial before using my the theme or if you are having difficulty of generating the thumbnail before asking for support. Also, i added a poll question of “Which theme should be updated next?” in sidebar, make sure to vote if you have a particular theme of mine that you want to be updated next. kanpai!
