Don't want the "Blue & Gold" Style? Just go to the bottom left of the page and choose your style. The old one is "Default Style". You can also leave feedback here.

Ok Grant you asked for feedback and I am going to let you have it right between your beady little eyes! Really a nice job on setting up our new web site. I, and I am sure everyone else also, really appreciate your time and efforts to bring our web site into the current century. OK, now stick a pin in yourself to deflate that ego I just blew up (grin).

The choices I see are, in the tradition of Henry Ford, "Default". If you want something else...

Grip the cold end. Hit the hot end.

Actually Bill, I was talking about feedback on the color scheme. Had a few comments about the "boring" default scheme. I find, after a few minutes, all that matters to me is readability! Well, this is a little more exciting, no? Hmm, maybe I'll try red next time!

I like the colored back ground, at least this color blue. It makes these tired eyes a little less tired.

I have to agree that this site's new software has definitely brought new life here :dance:
Thanks Grant for doing this!

Ok, my next question is this:
Are there other color options (ok, I know they have all kinds of themes and colors) or do they cost extra for you to make them available to the users of this site? :confused:

There are many places to find themes and colors if you just do a search on vBulletin skins. Here's one search :skip: --> http://www.google.com/search?q.....e=&oe=

I must say that I like the emoticons here! :showoff::help:

Yeah. the smilies I got free and loaded, glad you like 'em. This is a new version (4.X) of vBulletin and is a bit cranky yet. Not much in the way of styles available yet. They added the CMS (news) that is currently being reworked, but is a nice feature.

The "CMS" will be a good feature once the bugs are worked out. That's a very nice feature to have without having to add on another package to get it (the CMS that is). Most packages are a CMS package with Forum added on to it ... Vbulletin is just the opposite from most ... a Forum ... with a CMS package added to it ... nice concept! 😉

It will be nice to work with after you get all the bugs worked out =) I know that I would like to see more themes / colors but I know that it takes time and effort and that, for all of us is limited, ... :banghead: so we must choose which we want to do first ...

By the way, thanks for responding to my post :playfull:
