Holy New Skin, Batman!

Diggin' the new color scheme.

I guess I didn't have to create a whole thread for this... but it's done.

I might turn this into a "Honey do" list, actually... I've noticed that when I visit a forum, it doesn't update the icon to show that I've read everything in the forum.

Also, the whole site seems a bit sluggish from time to time, but I suspect that's due to the nature of our new host.

I feel like a symbiote. Or a parasite.

Definitely a parasite.

:twisted:

After the years of the dingy appearance of our previous digs, I was kinda liking the brighter skin and decreased intrusiveness of the top logo.

Love the new forum skin.

They actually include several hundred skins, so the appearance will change every so often, just to liven things up a bit...

I lost track of this place a while back, I gotta say, this is a pretty nice layout.

Howdy.

Welcome! It's a new start, so this is perfect timing.

Sickness · by **Sickness** on Tue May 29, 2007 10:02 pm

Welcome aboard, K-man!

This may be a little late to bring up, but is there a way we can get the stickied threads to change color when there's a new post like the regular threads do?

Ipsilon · by **Ipsilon** on Mon Jun 09, 2008 2:45 pm

That would be fan-damn-tastic.

Magnum · by **Magnum** on Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:16 pm

I think that is doable, though it has to do with the style of the entire board.

I also added several new emoticons. When you post, click on "View more Emoticons" to see them all.

:efu

I like this darker skin that we had when the board first started. It was easy on the eyes, we could easily see where new posts were, and the login wasn't wonky (for me, at least).

Ipsilon · by **Ipsilon** on Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:25 pm

New emoticons. Sweet. The one you posted, Mags, which I'm calling "Birdie" is going to get a lot of use.

Here're the others:

Far be it for Ipsy and I to disagree, but... :wink:

This color is bad for me simply because it's very glaring at my work. The lighter color blended into my work applications, which are primarily white and blue hues. This scheme just really sticks out like a sore thumb.

But it does look cool. :shock:

this skin seems to be loading more quickly for mw.

Likewise.

also much easier to scroll. The last iteration was sluggish when I used my laptop scrollpad or when using a mouse click wheel.

I assume the two are related to the ad setup in the old scheme.

Watch out, boys!

This new looks makes me teh sexy!

After seven skins in one minute, it looks like Excelsior got a new facelift... that's oddly familiar.

I like the new "spacey" theme!

Master Ulic · by **Master Ulic** on Wed Nov 12, 2008 9:59 am

I like it. Very Star Wars.

Quasar · by **Quasar** on Wed Nov 12, 2008 10:02 am

That just blew my mind!

Ipsilon · by **Ipsilon** on Wed Nov 12, 2008 10:17 am

There was the old gray-black-red Excelsior theme for a little bit... it made me reminisce about the old days on Floyd's server...

Am I crazy, or does this place run better with this skin?

Maybe the two aren't mutually exclusive.

Quasar · by **Quasar** on Wed Nov 12, 2008 11:55 am

If you have to ask if you're crazy, then that means you are.
