Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 (edited) I should note that the skins will be a bit different than what they currently are... Edited June 8, 2004 by Arena2045 Quote
Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 We're moving??? We are moving to a new webhost... one that is better suited to host a forum like ours. Our current host has had some issues and tends to go down for unknown reasons.Don't worry though, we will give advance notice of the move, and will provide a URL to go to to receive status information if the downtime takes longer than expected.

Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 can you post them?or are the changes so subtle as to not need to see them...?Nope... what would be the fun in that? Yup, minor changes... Quote
Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 Come one people... Show some support for Green!!!As it stands, the following are the number of people who have selected one of the following skins.Blue 25Sage 122Snow 12The rest of the members are using the default Purple...Do I need to change the names from the generic colors to the code-names I gave them?Lets get more votes for green...

Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 I'll toss something out there for everyone to consider... look at how many members we have, but look at how many have a post count of 0. Now I know a lot of members read and never post... posting isn't the issue.But what if the default color wasn't the deep dark purple that we have now? Do you think we would have more of the 0 post members posting? Quote
Ed_P Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Hey, HEY!! No trying to bias the voting. But what if the default color wasn't the deep dark purple that we have now? Do you think we would have more of the 0 post members posting?Absolutely, that's why BLUE is leading in the poll. Quote

Do you think we would have more of the 0 post members posting?Absolutely, that's why BLUE is leading in the poll. But BLUE is the default for ALL IPB forums. We should at least pick a different color... like GREEN! Quote
Ed_P Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Ok, I've just gone to My Controls and viewed the 4 skin options. If not Blue then I prefer Snow. Sage/Green is too intense like the Purple. Quote
Neil P Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 New version of IPB too? Or just a new host?I've already voted in the poll (GO BLUE!) Quote
Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 New version of IPB too? Or just a new host?I've already voted in the poll (GO BLUE!)Yes we are going to be going to version 1.3.1, a bit late and close to version 2, but with the move we are being forced to upgrade, which will benefit everyone.

FuzzDuckie Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Its been a while since I've been over here....Blue?? Then I'l get my two techie forums allllll confused....LOL I likes me green but not NEONY greeeeeeen..... Quote
Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 Dont worry about crazy colors... I chose hues that were easy on the eyes. The dark purple and blue will be much more muted. Quote
Bruno Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 My vote went to gray ( sorry, no green Arena ) Bruno Quote
FuzzDuckie Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I could go for dark purple...Something different than blue....blue is all over the place... In fact I think the two most common colors I've seen on forums are blue and yellow/gold...with a few reds/pinks thrown in... Quote
James M. Fisher Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 For the default skin I went with Gray...oops, I mean Snow. Gray Snow? Only in Toronto! :lol:The 'Lite sage' is nice, if that is what is considered 'green'. Quote
GolfProRM Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 The good part is that no matter what the default is, you will be able to change it again. So if you don't like the new default, don't worry Quote
Peachy Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Yeh, but if you change it to blue then I will have to change my skin to another colour. That's how I distinguish between when I'm logged on or off! Quote
zlim Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Blue is my favorite color but I use and like purple here because it is different. I get tired of seeing everything blue all over the web. Go purple! Purple is the color of royalty. Even if purple doesn't win, I'll probably skin it because I'm accustomed to that look here. Quote
AbeL Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I voted for purple. Two reasons:it's different (everything else is blue)it's my granddaughter's favorite color - THAT should make it the SURE winner.As for green - thats a little biliousAnd grey snow - you wanna see grey snow? Visit Boston! Abe Quote
georgeg4 Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Come one people... Show some support for Green!!!As it stands, the following are the number of people who have selected one of the following skins. BLUESorry Arena2045 but I am partial to blue . It kind of reminds me of the color of what penguins swim in . Quote
Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 I've modified the Poll a bit, and included samples... check the very first post right under the poll. Quote
Neil P Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I've modified the Poll a bit, and included samples... check the very first post right under the poll.I still like blue Quote
Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 The good part is that no matter what the default is, you will be able to change it again. Â So if you don't like the new default, don't worry I have to agree with Ryan's post... No matter which is selected as default, users will be able to change to their color of choice. Quote
Ed_P Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Good point indeed. In which case, leave it Purple. Quote
longgone Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 New color ... how come no red or orange or aqua ..... or maybe wood grain or charteruse Quote
Guest Paracelsus Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 OOOOOOOOOoooooooooo!!!!Woodgrain!!I'd vote for that Turquoise with tiny flecks of Gold wouldn't be bad either Quote
havnblast Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 I like the purple - can't stand the green - just yuckyAre you upgrading the forum to 2.0 when it comes out final? Lots of nice things about it and great features for moderators, making their job much easier. Quote
