phpBB goes all CSS / tablefree

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. -
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This is NOT about whether the vBulletin style looks outdated or not, or about whether you like the look of the new phpBB style, - it's about providing clean and structured XHTML code that is easy to understand and easy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:

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.Leave a 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.

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?Leave a comment:

Originally posted by DiscussionsNo, I have never claimed it was PhpBB 2...with a new skin. I was speaking of vBulletin becoming outdated in the style arena with their default style when compared to the new PhpBB skin. Thus I was giving PhpBB a great compliment - so I have no idea where you are getting these absurd notions from, of my attacking or belittling PhpBB or vBulletin (especially considering that I own vBulletin and have ran vBulletin since 2004.)
I also want to add that since you decided to post a rather retarded comment, that I find you and your lack of comprehension of text to be rather annoying - like a child who never understands what is being taught to it.
I did not attack any single person or group, merely mentioned something most people understand...that vBulletin's default style needs a revamp. Go back to school & before you run your f'ing mouth off - rethink that strategy..especially when you have no idea what you are speaking of.
Sorry, but I don't agree that the vBulletin skin looks outdated compared to the new phpBB look. But thats my own personal opinion onlyLeave a comment:

Yes that it is! I've been playing around with it a while last night on one of my "non vBulletin forums" and while it needs some work to be customized to each site's preference in color, graphics..etc - I really do like the new style and I actually like the new Administrator Control Panel as well.
They've done a great job at catching up.Leave a comment:

(Well technically the style you see on phpbb.com is not what users will be getting out of the package, as what you see there is modified a bit to fit the theme of their site. If you want a closer idea of what it is look at this template. (pretty much the same really, except its liquid by default)
Dream>> its in the CVS repository.Leave a comment:

Sorry, I don't get what you're saying. Are you saying that the vB style isn't available for phpBB or something?Leave a comment:
