Administrators Nathan Posted April 27, 2012 Administrators Posted April 27, 2012 So as I'm sure many of you know the theme here on DeveloperBase.net is not a custom one. Since there are other sites out there using the same one I decided we need something custom that you have not seen anywhere else before. So it's in the works, Ehren from IPBForumskins should be starting on one next week. I'm excited to see what he comes up with!
ChuckTesta Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Nice! Lets see where this goes! Will be nice to have a completely custom theme.
Administrators Nathan Posted April 28, 2012 Author Administrators Posted April 28, 2012 I think I will leave this one in the skin changer below just in case anyone wants to keep it, but the new one will be the default. Any big site that pretty much has it's own custom theme. I have even seen some sites that are in the same niche as me adapt this theme after visiting here...kinda annoying. So this should solve that problem and set us apart. ChuckTesta 1
Thomas Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 When it comes to the internet it's always hard to find something that is truly unique. I look forward to seeing the new theme although I must say that the current one is simply lovely.
Creaky Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Always best to have a custom skin. I've seen some of Ehren's designs and they look great, looking forward to seeing what he comes up with for you.

So this should solve that problem and set us apart. Don't worry so much about the copycats... think of all the Flippa copies out there, none of them can replace the real thing. They don't have the substance that your forum has I love the current theme but curious to find out what the new design is going to be like.....
Administrators Nathan Posted May 1, 2012 Author Administrators Posted May 1, 2012 We have had a few iterations back and forth, but hopefully it will be finished soon. I will leave this theme out there as well for people that prefer it.
Administrators Nathan Posted May 22, 2012 Author Administrators Posted May 22, 2012 It's now complete, look for it today!
Administrators Nathan Posted May 22, 2012 Author Administrators Posted May 22, 2012 It's live now, what do you guys think? You can still change back to the old skin if you prefer, just scroll to the bottom where it says "Change Theme".
ChuckTesta Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) This new theme is nice! When i first logged in, i was like... hmmm this is different. Then i started looking around and it's so much better. The footer area is, IMO, the biggest upgrade. Second would go to the header. Having the dedicated link to your profile on top right, is a big improvement. I would like to point out on the forum home page that the forum image is far too close to the text. It's on the verge of overlapping. I'm seeing this on ie and chrome. Edited May 24, 2012 by ChuckTesta
Administrators Nathan Posted May 24, 2012 Author Administrators Posted May 24, 2012 Can I get a screen shot? I don't see anything so not sure what you mean.
ChuckTesta Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 See attached. The DB image on left is right against the forum description.
Administrators Nathan Posted May 25, 2012 Author Administrators Posted May 25, 2012 What's your resolution, I don't get that in any browser so want to check at your resolution.
Administrators Nathan Posted May 25, 2012 Author Administrators Posted May 25, 2012 That's strange, I changed to that resolution and worked in all 3 browsers.
ChuckTesta Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Everything's working properly, it's the only thing i've noticed on the theme. Not a big deal, maybe it's just my comp. (work computer really)
Thomas Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I was having a small problem with the links not actually being clickable and Safari not really enjoying the new style however a hard refresh fixed everything.
tetutato Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Oh good, I thought you guys were working on another custom skin and abandoning this one but turns out this one IS the custom skin. Well I like it a lot
Thomas Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Oh good, I thought you guys were working on another custom skin and abandoning this one but turns out this one IS the custom skin. Well I like it a lot We do have another new theme that I am currently working on. The first test indicate a very large annoyance however I see room for improvement.
