Title: New Forum Skin?
Machiavelli - October 7, 2007 07:53 AM (GMT)
Our current skin is very dated and with Zetaboards yet to receive a launch date, I think we should consider a new forum look. Take a peak at the following list of potential skins and choose by voting in the provided poll:
Also, feel free to post any thoughts or suggestions you may have regarding a new skin here. :)

What happened to that guy doing our forum?
As mentioned before I REALLY like the CStyled because too much whiteness makes my eyes sore but the Aerta is okay too

I went with Aerta, a fresh look, and I prefer the white background rather than the darker colours.

Haven't heard from him for a while, I think he was a little peeved that we didn't approve of his choice in colour. I mean, why yellow? :P

I went with mironical, but I also like Aerify, one thing that I don't like about them, though, is that both of them seem to have a set width for posts. Currently, posts extend the full width of my page, but both of those only fill like half the width of my screen, although aerify fills more than mironical...

Aerta looks really good. Aerta FTW!

Like CStyled the most, but Aerify is pretty nice too :)

Haven't decided yet but i do agree with the change, it is needed.

As you've probably noticed I have implemented the Aerta skin because it currently has the most votes. I am aware of a few niggling discrepancies, these will hopefully be ironed out within the next week or so. Think of this as a trial run, we can always change back or try another. :thumbsup:
Any feedback on the new look is more than welcome. :)

Looks good, but the forum doesn't work in Explorer (didnt this happen not too long ago :P)
Also for me the banner is gone.
Otherwise, good.

Wow this is soo much better. And borg it works for me on IE, i'm posting on there right now?

I liked Azurian (the first one, can't be fucked scrolling up again); I'm just used to the whole white, bright and minimalist look for these forums. This blue is a shock to the system!
dave_cool31 - October 9, 2007 08:29 AM (GMT)
I think this new skin looks schmicko!
borgster101 - October 9, 2007 10:44 AM (GMT)
Working fine in IE now :)

Hmm, I like this but it looks a little uncomplete and some fonts look a little too small to be classified as headers, any control over this? I also noticed it seems to be restricted to a certain width too (very wide) so when you make the web browser smaller, it doesn't auto-adjust.
However it matches perfectly with the banner and it's a *little* darker than before, which is good too

that's true, it does seem to not resize past a certain point, but I'm glad it also pretty much fills my 1920x1200 display horizontally. Also, it's good that it's not quite as face-burningly white as before :thumbsup:

Looking pretty good, taking some getting used to not being so bright :)

Well I like it alot, it just feels right. :)

Can't you make it so that they are all available, and the users can individually choose the one they want?
Otherwise, I'd go for CStyled, it looks great, and makes it stand out from most other forums.

This is what I would like (as much as I've complained) but I'm pretty sure we're restricted to 1 skin

CStyled is awesome but it's just too dark.
