Currently is not including, you must download and install it. But if you're using PHP 7 you must edit the file uploads/includes/class_humanverify_new_recaptcha.php

What it works so far

1. Forum list
2. Forum display
3. Show Thread
4. Modal Member Profile (not completed yet)
5. Sidebar in slide panel
6. Search is slide panel (with link to Advanced Search)
7. User menu in slide panel (not completed yet with custom user menu)
8. Navbar in slide panel (not completed yet as it does not shows extra menu). Currently it shows all menu options in a long list but I'll modify it to menu-> submenu-> subsubmenu
9. Login / Register / Password Reset in modal

That's for the moment. Please be kind and don't stress me. It's a long Project, not just a Responsive style, but I believe that it will be ready by the end of August, maybe much earlier.

1. Disable Animation photos for Avatar and User Photo.
2. Set Profile Picture Maximum Width (pixels) to 1200px
3. Set Profile Picture Maximum Height (pixels) to 340px
4. Set Profile Picture Maximum File-Size to 1024000 (sure you can set different filesize).

Editing core files


There are 2 small modifications in vB core files, but as the Licenses prohibits distribution of them, you must do these changes on your own.


1.- If you want to hide the emoticons from the right side of the editor to earn some space in mobile view (emoticon will still be available from the button menu), you must edit the file includes/functions_editor.php. Open it with a text editor (not Word and similar), and change line 551

2.- To replace the Poll icon with a FA icon, your need to edit the file includes/functions_forumlist.php file 592

Remarks:

1. I appreciate your patience but don't forget that its a huge product. I don't focus to release just a responsive theme but to redesign it the most that my knowledge permits me to do.
2. Next release next Friday

I wish you a nice weekend
