If you go here http://www.torrento.co.uk/ and just click skip inro or watch the intro its like 10 seconds long it will load up the forum and i love the skin nice and bright and nice use of blue. Any chance we can have hat skin? At the botem it says skin created by and a link to his page where you can get it?

so clearly this is being addressed!.. apparantly, the quick and easy option is to upload a predone skin, cos doing a whole new one takes ages...
Quality skinnage, Peerzy. I liked it a lot :01:
That was the most annoying intro in the world.
Yeah...I like the skin too...... :)
It would be nice to have a choice or two added ;)
Yeah, its a torrent site so i was checking it out and suddenlly notice how much i liked it and though how suprised people would be if i posted in this section with a helpfull comment.
I didnt like the intro either, it had nothing to do with Torrentsd just had like a flower and grass....
Correctomundo lol I like the skin, but it needs to be like in a smaller font...its HUGEQuote:

I believe it takes 10 minutes, tops.
The main time consumer is trawling the web to find and then choose a suitable skin. Could this not be left to the team/interested members in general and then a vote to decide which skins are implemented as an alternative to this sucky default one.
I don't think this issue is going away as we were promised new skins (even one that looked identical to IPB) as soon as we moved to VB. Krohn's priorities lie elswewhere but that does not mean we have to be waiting around until he deigns to grace us with his presence.
An 'OK' and 10 minutes of Brian's time would make a lot of members' forum experience better. It is surely not too much to ask.
Would be nice to have a couple of skins added, it's not as if it takes more than 5 mins to import them :frusty:
Why don't teh people go looking for skins that are possibilities?
This does'nt mean finding forums as 90% of them would'nt give you the skin, but go skin searching for this version of the board :)
Then Admin can either ignor or import them :)
Hows that for an idea? :)
Jonno :cool:
Edit@ Manky ......It's simple to import a skin, from what I've seen and talked about the VB board is basically the same as IPB, you must find a skin to suit the version of the board, they can be customised which is what I done with some of my skins, then you d/l from the site as a .tar file, upload it to the ftp this board is on, go into ACP and import it, just a matter of changing a few permissions breifly :)
Like I said, once you have the tar file it takes about 5 mins per skin :)
When I did it with IPB there were two files in the zip file for teh skin.
you go to the skin folder, click browse, point to one of the files. then hit upload.
then do the same but uinder images for the other file.
done. takes around 5 seconds each.
your right
just found a Free VBskin fully coded
(looks like shit but atleast its an option....)
Download here (136KB) :

Found a German site that has Free VB templates
Some in German some English
http://www.vbdesigns.de/styles_vb.php
and
http://www.vbdesigns.de/forumdisplay.php?f=51
take your pick :01:
Even if it is for Phppbb or whatever Krohn promissed us so my 1337 coding and he could make hi sown template so why can he not chnage his to VB?
Well, Khron dont visit us so often.
Apparently he has other priorities too.
Same with Rookie.
I did mention this in the Team Chat too.
Hopefully one of these days....
:)
We are basically working behind the scenes to try to bring more traffic. Martin will eventually get to a new skin possibly, but he is busy with other things as well.
Brian
Not trying to be harsh or anything but he promised so much and from the members poin of view hasnt changed A THING. i can't tell the difference from when we moved to Vb till now:).Quote:

I still say that in at least mine and i would ahve thought most of the members eyes Krohn has done jack all.
You're pretty good at generalizing things Peeboy.
Oh well, im not going to start explaining whats different and whats not.
Feel bad about this if you must.
As for the Skins, all i want to see is something really dark, maybe even Black as the main colour.
The other boards I've been are more friendly with the dark skins on me eyes.
Im not suffering a great deal here, but it would make this place more pleasant to view.
The details on the buttons and whatnots is not so big deal for me, I can adapt to it.
:D
so this is a skinless board?
Some animals change their skin when the grow up
Iv been thinking what to reply with for a good 10 minutes now and i cannot think of one thing Krohn has done that has changed the board. Entity, Rookie and IKE i can. The only thing i can remember Krohn 'doing' was enabling GZIP but i had a screenshot of the forum a few months earlier and it was on anyway. Wheres the new skin's we were promised? Wheres the Arcade he promised? Wheres all the coll addons and scripts that he promised. His main argument for a move to Vb was he could do all of this stuff for us and he was really good at it.Quote:

He banned Bustyman for a day, that was pretty good for comedy value.Quote:

Ahhhh yes but that was only for one day and doesnt affect our everyday use of the board:ermm:.Quote:

To be honest I don't have a problem with this skin, but like has been mentioned and I know from doing quite a bit of forum skin works including conversions etc, I know that there's nothing too taxing about them, the time consuming part is finding them, so like I said, why don't the Staff make a thread for this, no spam or comments, just links to skin sites or skins themselfs.
I would suggest not putting on too many as it can created havock on an error log if they conflict, also too many can put undue pressure on the DB giving high script times.
But maybe let everyone find some, then put a poll up for people to vote on the top 3 or 5 or whatever? :)
Sound like a plan? :)
Save the admin a lot of searching and will be giving the users what they want at the same time, everyone's a winner :D
Jonno :cool:
Ugh....I'm just tired of this old skin, PLEASE GET A NEW ONE! :(
Anyone knows any place that has VB skins?
Post links for all to check out.
:)
see my earlier post
but remember its not about how good you look..
we dont even need a poll just put in 2 or 3 more just so that we have teh option.Quote:

Why not just add the fusion skins for dark if that what you want, personally I think they sux but they are dark...
http://www.extremepixels.com/forum/s...650&styleid=37
If you scroll down you can select multiple skins at the bottom although I still like this one.
Krohn asked us to find nice ones in that thread - i picked a couple, but never saw them again :(Quote:
