Title: I think we need a new skin...
Description: among other things

I'm kinda tired of seeing the gray, black, and orange here... Although it does have a good look, we should have more than just one skin for this site.

(Also, the Closed Topic button need to be updated.)

I guess I wouldn't mind more color. I doubt we will change the skin though. We went through a lot of trouble to get buttons.

I think that this skin is fine! We should keep it

I too like the skin. Can't imagine MHQ without it.

Well you know, we could add another skin in (if maybe a forum member / staff member created a new skin ) and then people can choose from their Control Panel which skin they view the forum with.

I think that only works on IF v2. For free versions you have to have the skins hosted on another site or something like that.

Now that I think about it gray is too much of a simple color. With web 2.0 sprouting crazy sites, should we jump on the bandwagon?

Let's take a poll, then!

Invisionfree only allows the default IPB skin and a single custom skin, and that is being used here right now.
Switching over to a IPB on a different site to get more features would really turn out badly because everything would be lost unless you pay a ton of money to get what we would need to move the mysql stuf over to a different site. This place has tons of posts, members, etc. And if you do the math looking at what they charge, it would be a miracle if someone really did pay to have it moved.

A skin selector would be a good idea, if it could be added in a way where it doesn't load this skin then loads up a second skin over it, or if images can't be changed or something like that.
It needs to be a good one that uses cookies or something.

Maybe a PHP code to put in to replace the CSS part that reads for a cookie telling which skin to load from an external source, and if there is no cookie, it just loads this one by default.

Keep this one, thats my two cents.

Wow this is a nice skin.

Now, THAT's what I'm talkin' about! This skin indeed pwns!
