board skins?

[Obishinobi Alesinger]

Just went thru the user control panel, I don't see any board skin options. Am I missing it somewhere? The default look is kinda generic.

agreed. no visual stimulation. it's like being in an office building.

I had a long discussion (well long for me...I never spend a lot of time on aim) with Sanchek about this last night. Apparently the skinning of a vbulletin board is a lot different and more difficult than an ezboard or a phpBB. He said that the number of options / settings is kind of ridiculous though they are looking into making a new default user setting for the board. Probably not going to allow multiple skins because each one would need to be updated any time a functionality update was brought to the boards etc., normally I'd just say he was damn lazy, but I was reading up on the skinning/styling of vbulletin at the time and it seems like a pretty daunting task.

However, since the current theme is so hideous it makes my eyes hurt, if anyone has any expierence skinning vbulletin v.3, you should PM/AIM/yahoo/icq/msn whatever Sanchek and offer your services. I think the mods even got an idea of what they want it to look like.

I'm glad you posted that. I'm getting tired of answering this question. :(

Please do.

Update: Arisensun got in touch with me and is interested in helping us with the design. Maybe we'll have a few ideas to vote on soon.
