Title: Scene Skin
Post by: BILLS on November 25, 2005, 09:30:00 AM

IS it just me or did this place upgrade to invision 2.1 within the last minute or so  

Well...i like 2.1 it looks nice.

Anyways.

I wonder if HS would let us design a skin for the scene. You know what i mean? Redesign the macros, and the buttons, and the CSS style sheet. Make a really nice skin for the scene to thank them for putting in this great section  

I wonder if anyone would use it?

Let's hope they fixed the bandwidth problems that they had.

the server is always going to be packed. This is the biggest forum ive ever seen. It really takes top of the line hosting to run something like this.

Well if everyone is down for designing a skin we need to decide who is going to tackle what.

We need things like a project manager, someone to fix the CSS style sheet, a test board, some one to design the macros (buttons, images, such as the reply button) Someone to design a banner of some sort. A lot of work goes into designing a skin. I tried it on my own a while back and almost finished the buttons but got bored of the one man environment.

The only thing is that we'd need a lot of time and access to the Admin CP.

EDIT- nevermind, your post answered my question.

we wouldnt really need access to this ACP. Ive got a board that we could test the skin on. We could just release like a normal skin so its a plug-in type deal....just like installing any other skin.

well, i'd enjoy doing some of the gfx side of it, since i really don't know css... but i know some HTML, so if that is needed... but it sounds like fun to me!

bandwidth isnt the problem - server load is.  The forum server has been split between 2 dual CPU boxes for a while, and another upgrade is underway..
