How does the B&W one reflect the bands current image?  Personally, I prefer "lighter" themes, so I use the proboards default...Out of the dark ones, the B&W one looks the most professional, and I like the Cautionary one the most. Well, the picture in the banner is from their most set of publicity pictures and the font is in a similar style to the one they are using at the moment in their promo material. mrguy - I could potentially look at making a 'light' skin, if people think they'd use it? It hadn't occurred to me before that all our custom skins are dark, personal preference creeping in a bit there. It wouldn't be for a week or so though, already spent far too long messing about with skins for one day. But if you'd rather just keep using Proboards default, that's also cool. |

OK. So, as the general consensus is that the yellow is impractical for the forum, I decided to try a more functional new design. I hope this one is more to people's liking- as much as I want a new design, to reflect the band's current image, the last thing I want to do is scare new members away with yellow. IMHO, this new theme is a lot more accessible. So thanks for making it the default.  I feel very bad bitchin' around again, but to me the band photo looks a bit squeezed vertically... I'll shut up immediately if you tell me that the original image looks just the same. Thanks for putting your time into this! |

Hopefully it's better now- I've put all this time into it, may aswell take an extra couple of minutes to get it as 'perfect' as it can be |

I think I'm the only one who prefers "light" themes, so it's probably not worth your time  It's odd. Whenever I design a site, I'm usually naturally drawn to having a dark theme. I do this when designing most things (like my foobar theme). I think it's because I use this site mostly from my iPod, the light skin makes it easier to read... |

If you mostly view it on a small screen, I can see why using the proboards default would make more sense regardless- it's less image intensive etc. |

Ha - just noticed I'm officially a patriarch. A little upsetting as I've always considered myself a feminist...but I guess I can put PRR ahead of womankind...  |
