Should the forum skin be changed?

3991vhtes · Oct 18, 2007

I was wondering what you ppl were thinking. Should the skin of the board be changed/updated, or kept the same?

PVTCaboose1337 · Oct 18, 2007

Maybe red to match the new site.

3991vhtes · Oct 18, 2007

Yeah, I was figuring since w1zzard changed the layout/design of the main page, why not do it to the forum

panchoman, give this up. I think you're only doing this to get a bigger Post count. I think all of these polls should be put in General Nonsense, as they provide really no comments or feedback to TPU.

Erm, isn't this the same thing that you told Panchman not to do?

Honestly, this should be in the general nonsense area. Anyway, I vote that it should be changed to the new red.

spud107 · Oct 18, 2007

what about a choice of skins in the user cp? seen it on other forums,

3991vhtes · Oct 18, 2007

@JC316

No, it's not exactly the same thing. This is CONSTRUCTIVE feedback/comments,and he was doing nonconstructive feedback. Like the who's your favorite mod...thats general nonsense material. and in the Animated avatar thread, I was sick of the "teens will take over tpu" thing so I snapped, and I voiced my opinion

Anyhow, I was thinking, "I think it would be cool if w1z updated the board, as it needs a new look"

I think the forums skin looks good still how it is.. the home page has some red but I still think the blue is a good layout.. now if we can come up with some good skin templates than that would change my mind.. I didnt bother voting but I think the forum template still owns.

Edit: looking at the top right hand corner of the forums I could see red being cool with those stripes not sure how red woould look across the logo though.. just a thought.

Why fix what ain't broke

.

3991vhtes · Oct 18, 2007

Well, it's not really a "fix this" kind of idea...it's a "update this" kind of idea

AsRock · Oct 18, 2007

Yes and no, i see a lot of sites to brite or even texts conflicts with background. Would be nice to see a dark forum

NO FAIL!

We need white and red. SIMPLE.

Chewy · Oct 18, 2007

with a new red top to the fourms maybe add this

Edit :wait wait, the light black up top would conflict with the time stamp of the post...

3991vhtes · Oct 18, 2007

That's a good idea, chewy :toast:

Thats EXACTLY what I wanted.

3991vhtes · Oct 18, 2007

That would be perfect. I hope w1zzard takes this into consideration.

Grings · Oct 18, 2007

Trouble is, with a red theme, there would have to be pink in there
Pink forum + lots of pictures of Kittens? well, it would certainly be unique...

Chewy · Oct 18, 2007

I edited my post. It might confilct with the black text of the date/time stamp of the post any ideas for that?

the colours would still have to be easy on the eyes, which is a key figure/thing to the scheme going on atm which it does very well atm.. but light red/black would still be quite easy on the eyes.

PVTCaboose1337 · Oct 18, 2007

Yeah... I think green would look kickass.

Not to mention, one or two of these, and the occasional passer-by might think we'd gone soft...

Just changing the timestamp color to white, and having a black backgroumd. That would look good.

@ Grings, just because there is red doesn't mean there has to be pink
