Is your home page powered by vB CMS. It doesn't look like. Otherwise, it has an excellent design.Comment

dnforum is a big company that has been around for YEARS. You even have to pay to sign for most worthwhile parts of the forum. I was actually quite surprised they've adopted vbulletin 4 so early, very risky move.
As for vb skins, there won't be any decent ones (that aren't just changing the colour scheme) for a very long time, everytime vb release updates - major updates like the ones that come out now - most of the templates need to be updated.
My designer friend and I were going to start up a site to sell premium skins but can't see the point as the product is evolving too much at this early stage, I don't want to put 2 weeks into something that'll have to be refreshed in a big way within a week or so - and even when we do do this, I'll be coding and I won't be using the stylevar system that's for sure.Comment

Went live the day after the Gold release. Had some issues and some stuff still isn't operating 100%, but it is a live environment and its *for the most part* running well.Vote for these items in the tracker: Image Watermarking ----- Search Algorithm Sucks ----- Drop Main CSS section from style manager ------ Simplify process to accept pending group join requests ------ Add option to publish to the wall of a "Fan Page" in addition to the user's personal FB wall. ------ CMS Should physically resize images into thumbnails and not scale via CSSComment

Cant say I have applied ANY skinning, and it may be awhile before I do as I am going to wait a couple of months after I experiment in my test forum first ,...
but I am very pleased with my first attempt at using the CMS on our forum in a live environment using the OEM theme.
(still tweaking though and have to finish some of the content in progress)Comment

Thanks. Been messing with vB4 since the first public beta. Spent days learning the style var's and making the theme what it looks like now (which isn't really all that different even, haha). My main issues have been with the CMS article editor, and search related on the forum. Most everything else is tolerable. Still have some users very unhappy with it though, but can't please everybody.Vote for these items in the tracker: Image Watermarking ----- Search Algorithm Sucks ----- Drop Main CSS section from style manager ------ Simplify process to accept pending group join requests ------ Add option to publish to the wall of a "Fan Page" in addition to the user's personal FB wall. ------ CMS Should physically resize images into thumbnails and not scale via CSSComment

The search engine is extremely inaccurate compared to the old one. I guess in 4.0 series they "upgraded" to a new architecture for searching and its pretty inferior to the old one in just about every case I've found so far. Logging in, is hit or miss. You can login at the main index page (CMS front page) and then the page refreshes, and still shows you logged out. Until you click on another page, and leave the front page. Then it shows you logged in. Pretty frustrating for anyone that sits at the front page and keeps trying to log in, over and over, and over again. Those are the biggest ones.Vote for these items in the tracker: Image Watermarking ----- Search Algorithm Sucks ----- Drop Main CSS section from style manager ------ Simplify process to accept pending group join requests ------ Add option to publish to the wall of a "Fan Page" in addition to the user's personal FB wall. ------ CMS Should physically resize images into thumbnails and not scale via CSSComment

Someone did a great job on this site: http://www.bfcom.org
I would love nothing more than to do something similar. Especially that navigation bar that holds the login boxes.
That is just freakin' cool. I can easily say goodbye to wordpress if this skin gets sold on some website. I don't care how much it costs. Gimmie the skin, nao.
I really like that one .. I would love to know how to do something similiar ... Or if they modified the default theme, or wrote their own ?Comment

Originally posted by HagbardCelinevb4 is a powerful system but forget stylevars, if you want make your own style. Remove the negative margins and go inside the template system of cms, blog and forum and remove a lot of standard css classes or rewrite them. If you turn on the template markers in the admincp, you will be able to change the template really fast. Use firefox with the extension "firebug" and you can see what's going on before you really change the css or the template file.

That's an easy way to build your user base. If they really want the info and use your resources, make them register. It's free anyway! Almost all sites make you do that now: facebook, Kodak gallery, etc. They want your email address...hahaComment
