I personally don't partiularly like the colour scheme of the forum but the layout is perfet as far as I'm concerned.
I can't code shit so there's no chance of it coming from me. I'd like a new theme but the current one doesn't put me off coming here (clearly).
Let it stay unless someone else has something better. shrug

I don't care what it looks like if it's functional...this site is easy to use, self explanitory, and has some great little functions (like the karma and trade records). Sure the look could be improved a little, but this kind of site doesn't really need to be fancy...to spend a bunch of time making it look all flashy seems like a waste of time to me....spend that time trying to get some referals.

Pink?
I see pink on the "logo" in the top left. "Forums" and the Admin's names but nowhere else. shrug

If people make themes (or whatever they are called on a phpBB) the admin will upload them and people can choose. I'm not adverse to that...

The forum is pink? Anyway, I think everything looks fine the way it is. If a change is made I'd prefer it as a new theme or something that I could "turn off." Leave the layout alone, though.

It would be a theme that can be turned on or off...

You have a little pink around your eyes wink
I also think FiPG looks okay as it is. As said before, it doesn't need to be flashy, as long as its purpose is served.

Yeah, I know that. I typed all of that up before you replied but I didn't press submit until a few minutes later. I'm easily distracted, I guess.

I thought there were tons of pre-made downloadable phpBB skins already?
Admin must have a truly discriminating taste. )

It' a fine looking forum. Very clean cut. Has a better feel than the a4f forums, imho.
I can provide almost all of the skins on this site

Unlesss you purchase a license for FreeiPodGuide forums, instead of downloading it, then it's ILLEGAL to use any of these skins for FIPG.
I would make a design for FIPG, but it takes some time to create designs, and no one is going to make it free for you anyway. I'd have to charge FIPG for the theme, but I doubt the owner is looking for a new theme.

If it speeds up the load time, I'm for it. The load time is already pretty quick, but maybe replacing the image on the top to text would speed up further.
We don't need no images.

that image does not get redownloaded every time. it has a negligible effect on load time.

Bah, don't think you're the only one here that is capable.
I designed my own forum skin. http//complexthought.net/forum/
My forum is practically dead, but oh well.
Perhaps I could design something simple for FiPG? Maybe just a change in color and maybe some subtle gradients here and there?
Wolfeman
08-05-2006 12:41:37
Go for it Psyc. It would be something that each person can choose to use or not use and I'd love to have a new look )
Hmm, should I go for the iPod-like theme (since this site was started on the idea of iPods) or just something random?
If random, which color(s) would look best?
Wolfeman
08-05-2006 12:46:19
iPod-esqe would be kinda cool. I hate anything bright or overwhelming. Simple is better...
