    New forum skin?

    I understand keeping it default is what you want, However I think it's about time that the forums get a huge makeover too ?

      Apparently some members here have crystal balls, since they can call something rubbish before it's even released.

        Well, the screen shots are available of the new forum look...and I don't think it looks like rubbish.

          The screen shots show an Alpha product which can change substantially between now and Gold.

          Can't be bother looking for it but Steve (I think?) posted previously about the Alpha team making some great suggestions on changes that were needed to earlier Alpha versions. Given this fact and the hiring of Sophie Xie, I'd be surprised if these screenshots didn't change over time.

          People screamed for screenshots, you've now got unfinished software screenshots. Don't come screaming that they're crap when they're not the finished product...

            Sorry didn't see them. The screenshots are looking professional/nice if you ask me? I don't like the horizontal postbit but I assume the 'legacy' is still there. Maybe release a purple style next to the grey/gradient one? Profiles are a lot better. The CMS looks pretty good and promising.

            And like Trevster said... if 90% wants something different, it can change before gold.

              I agree. Alpha or gold, don't know. I think more like gold, because they put those shots on the new website. It's not relly that hard to make some shots of newer version.

              So, anyway, I think if I really want to upgrade. Have been customer for 8+ years and always loved default theme, but now... yuck! Going to try out some other products first and upgrade to vb4 is last option. Sorry, vBulletin

                I think the layout looks great.

                I think a lot of the people saying that it 'looks crap' are looking at the colors, the images, the dropshadows, etc. all of which will (should) be very easy to change. They need to ignore these things as they are all just personal opinion. What is important is to look at the new layout.
                For those of you that are actually criticizing the layout, well then this product isn't for you or you will need to customize it to fit your own needs.

                I believe this new layout is a great starting point which is probably perfect for a lot of user's needs...



                btw, http://area51.vbulletin.com/ Wonder if anyone here can crack this password?
