Skins are the background, colorscheme, etc..
I have discovered that we can have more than one 'skin' and you can choose which one you want to use when you log in to the forum. RIght now everyone SHOULD be seeing the 'starry' one.. cuz the default one that came with the forum is just plain white and blue.. and not very pretty.. lol
anyway.. I think it would be neat to do some playing around with the skins.. but does anyone have any ideas? Should we do different 'holiday' skins, or what not? Also.. I made the Logo, so as you can see, my skills aren't very flashy.. very basic.. I just cut a moon and some stars out of a pic and downloaded a font I liked to make "Ye ole broomcloset" on the logo.. but I invite anyone with snazzy photoshopping skills to make a groovy logo banner ..
Maybe we could do monthly contests or something so your work can be displayed all month long.. with special ones for the holidays.. we can utilize the 'poll' feature to vote on them with.. I think that could be fun..

I am in agreement with that. I know some people that like to play with things like that. So lets set a deadline as to when they have to have the Logo done and I think we should do a seperate thread for Contest.

for sure like one thread announcing the contest and contest rules with the deadline and so forth.. and then a separate board for the contest to display the images, and have a poll so everyone can vote on their favorite..

true! I wanted something simple to start out with.. and I didn't want to go with snow.. I don't have photoshop (yet.. have a friend who may be sending me a copy) and so I can't make the pretty tubes that people make with it cuz I don't have it.. but anyway.. I'm pretty limited on what I can do .. and plus I just wanted to hurry up and get something up there.. otherwise it would pretty much just say "Ye Ole Broomcloset" with no picture at all .. lmao but yeah.. I'd love to have soemthing a bit fancier.. kind of limited on what we can do.. cuz other than the headers and footers.. I don't think there's much room for coding.. which in a way I'm glad about.. had to do all too much of it with the invision free board.. I was getting good at CCS code.. but it's a pain in the ass lmao

ROFL!!! it's ok it is kinda plain.. lol and yeah I did pretty much do it in one day mostly.. but it was a tuesday when I started and being a tuesday.. well.. wow was down.. so that means I had nothing to do.. lmao.. and we'd have to have a different logo if the background wasn't the stars.. but I like the color scheme cuz it doesn't hurt my wee eyes .. the soft blues and purples are kinda nice
