Nice try though ;-)

Thanks for the heads up - I fixed the issue.

Techno360 has mobstac, which formats the page great for mobile devices. DotTech on my mobile gadgets doesn't look too great, so I would suggest it. I think it is free for one edition, but there is another version that costs money.

Although I haven't used it (on one of my sites), I think it would be a great addition to dotTech. Just check out techno360.in on a mobile and you can see what I mean.

So I would have to purchase Thesis (which is costly) and a child-theme on top of that. Now I wouldn't mind coughing up the money for thesis and the child-theme if the themes are good, but if I find cheaper alternatives that are just as good I see no reason to overpay.

For example I was willing to pay for a new theme when I was redesigning dotTech but I just couldn't find a paid theme I liked. So I went with the white one and now this one, both luckily free.

That said, this current theme is actually a framework + child-theme also. Let's see if you can guess which one :-)

It is a bit pricy compared to this (free) theme or your semi-original blue ($25) theme.  I have no idea what that nice bright clean white one (I for one liked it) theme cost.

:D But I'll look at the source code.

Oh, wait.  I don't know PHP, and I can't find it in functions.php either.  I can't find anything in there!

The reason it shows up in view source is because view source shows the end product — after the page has been generated. In the backend that **** 1 is buried somewhere in all the functions and files. I will track it down… someday. For now lets just pretend the 1 stands for "dotTech is number 1" :-P

It's "Jyo" btw. I got this through highlighting the "1" and right click view selection source. Hope it helps!

And good luck eradicating the "1"

I am not too creative but I was able to muster together my creative juices on that one :-)

@Joy: I know about the "1" but I have no bloody idea why it is there and no bloody idea how to remove it.

And sure I can add a Recent Forum Posts widget to the bottom, no problem at all.

And I also have a small request: Could you perhaps also add a Recent Forum Posts section to the bottom, right next to the Recent Comments section? When I am browsing the forums, I usually click on the Recent Forum Posts link, but now the forums function without the side menu (which is a good change mind you). Anyways, this is a tiny request from me, but only if you feel it makes sense. It's all cool if you say no....I'd still sob over it though....
