Hey, guys Well I was looking at this skin and I just thought about it, How about we could suggest some cool skins to use maybe and we'll have some image links in the annoncements which show what the skins look like if people are guests. So my skins that I would suggest would be a Dark Side Skin, a Jedi skin, the Chosen one skin and a star trek skin

This is a touchy subject for me. I think that unless the skin in question is really intolerable to the eyes, i.e. overly bright colours, the forum looking like a rainbow, the text barely readable, unless I come across those things, people should be less condemning when it comes to skins.
I always say that as long I can read the text, and I don't get a headache the moment I look at the colours, it's OK. In the end, what really is important, are the topics. You can have a great skin, but good will it do without some decent subjects?
I am not too fond of overly dark skins, but this one is quite acceptable to me, and personally I don't think there is a need for another skin. After all, this is a Sci-Fi board first and foremost, and this skin is perfect for the theme.
I have heard people say they wouldn't join a forum because they didn't like the skin. To that I say: no great loss. If all they came for is the skin, then I wouldn't want them as a member.

The general opinion of the current skin from the masses seem to be a positive one. It is intentionally kept semi-simple for loading reasons (ie; text in the catbars as opposed to image fonts, etc.) Previous skins we a little more graphics heavy.
Somewhere I have screenshots of every skin TR has used, I might dig them up one day and post them. They've been posted here before but who knows where now as it's been at least over a year ago.
I have often though of adding version 3 and 4 skins back as alternative skins, but I'd have to make changes to them to integrate them, as well as re-create some of the graphics as I don't have every graphic ever used saved anymore. Between 3 computers in as many years, some things have gotten lost.
Then there is the time equasion. The first priority is to get the website finished. It's not near being complete yet, but time is hard to come by these days. The website needs to be complete before any extensive changes take place here, including a bran new version one of these days.

Not soon after my initial post in this thread I started on a new version of the forum. With each new version of a website or product, etc. it's meant to be better then the last. ;D Not sure when it will be complete, hopefully sooner then later, but it will be set as the default skin with this current skin set as an optional skin.
