I think it's just custom for the site.
phpBB goes all CSS / tablefree

I know this is a bit off-topic, but where can I get this
style from? Someone said CVS, I couldn't find it anywhere in the CVS. What exactly should I download?Comment

Tbf, no-one would use a default skin because it makes the site boring. Forums need to be unique. Very few forums actually bother going further beyond than editing the colours of a skin probably because they will have to suffer when it comes to upgrading. This is one reason why having a time plan for a new major version is handy. If say you were making a very unique skin today, and tomorrow the announcement of 4.0 beta was announced, you would be quite angry, even if the beta stage + RC stage will last a few months. You would much rather wait and use the skin you currently have.Comment

Switching to a CSS-based layout will mean I won't have to update a bunch of templates to make a single minor correction every time vBulletin gets updated.:)Comment

Well I must differ from others here, because I don't like the new look of phpbb over the old style. And the post icons are nowhere near as nice as the old ones. I'm also not much of a fan of rounded off corners also.
Yeah, the new web coding is a big leap forward for them and great news. But the new style leaves a lot to be desired if you ask meOriginally posted by Wayne LukeYou're not the only one. Personally I don't like the new style with all of its "rainy day" gray everywhere. Hopefully it sees a lot less use than Subsilver but most people don't edit the look and feel of a forum.Originally posted by Wayne LukeWow.. now I don't know which is worse. I don't really like either style.
This is NOT about whether the vBulletin style looks outdated or not, or about whether you like the look of the new phpBB style, - it's about providing clean and structured XHTML code that is easy to understand and easy to reuse -- neither of which you can say about the current HTML table mess in vBulletin.
DirectPixel raises another important point:
Originally posted by DirectPixelWhat's the most annoying, for me, is the constant template updates between minor versions.

According to Kier (or was it someone else..) It isn't completely about compatibilty right now that's preventing a fully functional tableless design from being deployed in vBulletin 3.6. It's currently limitations to the template system that's preventing a migration which is requiring us to wait till vBulletin 4.ManagerJosh, Owner of 4 XenForo Licenses, 1 vBulletin Legacy License, 1 Internet Brands Suite License
