Nice!!! I like the blue text on the dark gray background!!! And yay!! the text box matches haha.

I think it needs some minor refinement, but I agree with Huzer, I think this takes a lot of work to do it right and make it as a whole look good, so keep up the good work and lets add some diversity to the forums!!!

altho now that i look at it, the actual thread isn't centered, its like its stretched to the right some but in the same sense the info at the top of the page is centered....weird.

The designer of the skins did a shitty job, IMO. Cheap ass work. Lots of hacks in there. I've been working on one myself, and while it's quite a bit of work, it'll be a little bit cleaner. I may be biased though.[/b]

Okay this is exactly what I mean by criticism. WTF is the point of this post except to bitch? Should this not be in an admin section at least? Wheres' the constructive part of this that says but I know how to fix some of it or something? I specifically asked for stuff like this not to be posted unless it was helpful.

Josh/Lee, when I am reading the specific thread (like this one) I have to use the bottom scroll to move the screen to the right (like it won't fit all on the one screen). On the main "View New Posts" I don't have this problem. Its only in the specific threads. I never remember having to do this with the other 'skin'. Is there a way we can fit it so we dont have to use the left to right scroll? Sorry, I don't know the proper terms, hope you understand what I mean.

Bite me. I don't like the skins. I don't like that they aren't designed well. You want a bullet point list, o' mighty one?

I wouldn't mind as much if the skins were "full screen", and not sized so small (common complaint so far).

Where did the old default IP Board Pro skin go? It's gone.

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 9:14

Here you go

SpeedRacer · Postby **SpeedRacer** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 9:14

Way to lead by example there Tim way to go. Thanks buddy.

Yeah a bullet point list would be great thanks for taking the time out of your day for doing one. Its a lot more productive then EWW I DONT LIKEY THAT THINGY.

Okay what about the main title / expand / collapse bars? What specifically and we can fix it.
What font size would you like? I can easily edit it and throw it up there.
The black background for the most will stay I can make it a lighter color somewhat though so what color would be best do you think? Any Suggestions?
Explain the iptable area? All page sizing will be the same as the old one it is undergoing a fix.
The emoticons will have to stay that way currently. I'd have to redesign every single emoticon to fix that.
If you have a different font for the Add Reply or anything please let me know and I'll test it.
Again the stuff will align once its updated.
If you can take a screenshot of said buttons it'd be appreciated.

These skins WILL be Full size before full release.

The old IP Board is BLUE now. I didn't change that name. Its still around its the very first selection in the skin area.

I don't like the design of the maintitle expand/collapse bars.
I don't like the black background and the dark fonts. (Needs more contrast on some of the skins)
I don't like the font sizes.
I don't like how the ipbtable area is now narrow and not the page width.
I don't like that the emoticons how have white borders.
I really dislike the "add reply" "new topic" fonts.
I don't like how the logostip doesn't align with the ipbtable when reading threads.
The subtitle buttons (left and right) are larger than submenu bar. (That one depends on the skin, some are right, some are wrong)

- the part I don't like is the way it is hard to see between peoples posts. Can we maybe have more contrast in there.

I don't like the font sizes.
- I think they are ok

I don't like how the ipbtable area is now narrow and not the page width.
- I also don't like this.

I really dislike the "add reply" "new topic" fonts.
- I would agree with this, they are hard to read.

- true

- also for some reason while I'm in the reply thing. random black lines keep showing up and block the text I'm typing.

Sorry, didn't see the "Default Blue" listed, I didn't realize the name had been changed (it used to be IP Board Pro). If you go to the "Blue Innovation" board, you can see the buttons in the submenu area (Colorado Mazda Club, Gallery, Members, Calenday...that's the submenu) the buttons do not align.

The ipbtable is the actual forum itself (the posts, individual forums). That area should be lightened just a bit, as well as the font. The black background of the body isn't bad (the part that makes up the entire page...the empty spaces).

Hey, I only get harsh when people don't speak to me respectfully.
