hi
the admin of ibfskinned.co.uk made a custom skin for this board.
--> http://80.0.113.117/test/
Please tell us what you think about it ?
Make improvement suggestion etc.
In the end it's your board ;)
bye

I like it, but then again I like the present board as well.
Everybody should keep in mind that I have horrible aesthetic taste. :lol:
I do think that the color of the test board is a little strong.

The new "test" one is HORRIBLE!
You can't read half of it, and you can't tell the difference between Read and Unread posts..
Definitely a thumbs-down from me. Keep it as it is... :)

In that case, let them make all the skins they want :D
If each user can pick their own skin then it shouldn't matter. It's a great idea.
I do however prefer the current one.
Are the sections labeled unread posts and read posts really gonna be separated like that? It would make getting updated each time we log on easier :D

I don't like it much either, contrasts are too hard. (my eyes, my eyes!)
But if it's optional, put it on the list, then members can choose. B)

Was a threat yesterday, can't seem to find it now? Think i need glasses.
But anyway. Personally i don't need another skin, but can understand lot of people do like to change the skin once in a while. What i find an interesting option is the section new posts. Don't know yet how it will work out. But that's interesting.

The other option is look here for our normal free skins that you may like, that way you can do a poll (as so many like polls :)) and then select the best ones to install.

Sorry but don't hope we can use polls, FC is gonna spam the board with that. :lol:

I just checked out the skins on their site.
I would like to see the 2 Christmas options used for this winter. They are very nice :D

I assumed that was just put there as an example, I don't think the layout would actually divide the topics up like that... :unsure:
It was just to show the difference between Read and Unread... wasn't it??? :blink:

the best way is for you to look at the about link, as there is over 45 skins there to see, if you want to test a few out then let me know and i can install them on the test board and then you can just test them out. Or just install them here, Its just as easy to delete them on here and just takes 5 miuntes of work to get the skins running, less than that really. What we have done is add about 10 skins on the forum as we make new ones so people can test them before you download them, but looking from the picture is never good as you just see the front page. And there is alot of work into the rest of the buttons.

Couldn't they all be available? Then we could use what we want without going to the trouble of voting on one :D

that test skin hurts my eyes too!
but since you get to choose... why not?
Posted by: the flinger
just bring theh skins on- the individual shall choose.
personally, i llike this becuase im used to it: just like i didnt like this board becuase i was used to the old one.
