NEW BOARD STYLES

[Scott]

We have opened up the board to allow everyone to choose their own template. So far I have 4 available so I thought Id kick things off with those.
We plan to add a couple more over the next few weeks.

To select a template :
go to your User Control Panel and select Board Preferences.
Look for a drop down box titled 'My Board Style'
Select whichever one you want and press 'Submit'

Once you re-load the board you will have the new template.


The templates are :
BLACK

that black one looks quite cool

good idea


different skin for different mood (that would be black most of the time LOL).......or different computer

[samurai69]

just noticed on some of the new skins theres no "new post" buttonsd at the top, or am i just looking in the wrong place ???

you might be. I see the 'new post' button at the bottom on the black template. dunno about the red/black will need to check.


**EDIT ***
**** the new post button is there in the red/black skin as well dude, top and bottom *****

[samurai69]

just checked

and on black the thing that says new posts isnt a button its just telling you what the new posts looks like and again on the red/black i cant see them

Black looks good.

Could the text be made to stand out a little more?

It looks a little lost in so much black & as S69 posted I can see the new post button at the bottom of the page but its not lighting up when cursor travels over it.

S69...The new posts tab on the red/white board is located at the top of the forum about 1 inch under the tabs/buttons "board index, search, members" etc. It just says "view new posts" its only text no buttons.

Another fine piece of work Scott. Thanks for the hard graft as usual

Guys we have another 2 or 3 styles to still go up so they'll be a little more to choose from & something for everyone`s taste.

If you can just let us know of any bugs or issues you come across in each style it'll be appreciated & we'll get them fixed asap.

Thanks

maybe try the text more white.
the cursor over the button thing requires another image, not sure if there is one and its not loaded or if the template just doesnt have a mouseover on that. If not I can make one.

ok, got it on red/black it only shows on front page.............so thats ok

Has to be the grunge one for me so far
i visit one or two websites that are black and although they look good it becomes a strain on the eye after a wile
the red /black looks a bit cheap and out dated to me but maybe I'm just getting fussy in my old age

There's a joke in there just let me think

Thanks for the feedback.

More style choices to come.
