I was thinking, I like darker themes myself, and they've also proven more energy-efficient for your monitor. Sometimes the bright white of PPM forums gets annoying.

So, what are your thoughts of it? Should we look for something closer to TiberiumWeb forums, or keep it this way? Oh, and I'd also like to hear reason(s) for why/why not?

Well, I'm quite happy with whatever it is I'm using...Which is Default. #Tongue

But hey, more skins are always better, so, why not?

I prefer a lighter forum skin. It's less distracting since darker ones try too hard to look "cool" and they invariably suck using shitty dark ass colors for the text or the text color flat clashes horribly with the background.

I'll stick with my defaults, kthx.

I thought Banshee decided not to put a new skin on until pHpBB3 got installed, which I never see happening. I know you have IRL reasons, Banshee, but seriously, it's been like this since... I have no idea how long, and what's the point of planting a "test forum" with the software on it when you could have put the same amount of time and effort into simply upgrading and re-skinning PPM? It still says "Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group" at the bottom, for hell's sake, when's the last time ANYTHING was updated except for some bits of HTML here and there?

There could always be a small box in the bottom of the forum page that allows you to select from multiple (or just two) skins. I've seen this elsewhere, and it's good for people with differing taste for the skin.

Black with green and red text. #Tongue

seriously: I don't know.

BTW: Black saves energy in the case of CRT display.

Old pre-2005 skin, please. Actually, THAT IS PRETTY MUCH AN ORDER.

Really, I loved the old skin.

I'm fine with the current scheme however it would not hurt to have more options.

Since none of you bothered to read my last post:

http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16092
http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13746
http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=220894#220894

If you aren't going to click those or read through all of the topics, I'll shorten it; new skins need to be made from the ground up, and I'm re-stating that Banshee didn't want to make a new skin until he installed pHpBB3 (where the hell did he say that... I'll find it eventually). Since that's obviously too far off to matter, let's just forget about a new skin until either Banshee allows a new admin into the ranks, or finds enough time and patience to install pHpBB3 + get a new skin and actually tell us it's happening.

(If I'm out of line with these 2 posts, then I apologize, but I'm only saying what needs to be said, and due to the lack of administrative attention PPM gets in general, regardless of reason, it's getting difficult to keep it in a meaningful and respectful context; I strongly feel a new admin or 2 would be able to clear EVERYTHING up AND keep it looking great, but that's nothing close to being my decision.)
