Skin and Banner
Hi.
I just want to request if we could maybe change our banner and skin (especially skin) as the skin has been around since this forum started more 2 years ago and the banner has been around since halloween.
Maybe we could have a baner contest (our next monthly contest) and you could ask someone where to get a good skin. I'd personally like a nice yellow and purple skin (not too bright).
I'm not too destressed about the pink skin (i was a bit wary when i first came here) but it would be nice to have a change once in a while from the same old.
Pleease, Spyrorocks and others, take this request into considerastion and dont post things like "We're working on it" or nothing at all, and none of your "tricks" Spyrorocks.
Thankyou.

Re: Skin and Banner
I think a black and purple skin would look good...

Re: Skin and Banner
I think people forget that this is a lot of hard work (for the skins anyway) and Spyrorocks has clarified that several times.
A new banner would be nice though .

Re: Skin and Banner
I agree with Ratchet. While I have no skills in implementing any new skins, I would think that more would only help the forum.

Re: Skin and Banner
If I do a new skin, it will replace this one.

Re: Skin and Banner
You probably have a free hosting forum where they make changing things very easy and convenient.

Re: Skin and Banner
Phpbb skins are hard to make (and I know this because I have tried) as for free forum hosting the hardest one out of them all is IPBFREE as it asks you to edit every last piece of a forum so you get the skin you want.
If I could get my hands on a decent phpbb skin template I would help out for this but that would be if I can edit it to make look good enough for Spyrorocks' requirements

Re: Skin and Banner
This forum is not hosted by any free forum host or such. Its actual hosting where you have to manually install phpbb, but its nice because you have full access to all the php scripts for the forum for customization.

Re: Skin and Banner
Could you, perhaps, give the source code of this theme so we could try to tweak it?
(Darker theme + the insomniac spyros changed to LoS ones)

Re: Skin and Banner
Sorry, source template cannot be released.
The best you can get is right click>view source.

Re: Skin and Banner
But from what I can tell this is a heavily modified subSilver theme.
