I come here for the information - not the skins. I don't want to take my pick from 100+ skins and then rejoice in the custom colour-scheme I could have for myself. I don't need that.

I recently had a look at invision and - sure it's damn nice. Yes, invision say on their website that you can import phpBB-forums. But why the hassle? phpBB does everything I want. I remember an old adage "if it does what you want, never change a running system."

I think you shouldn't change the one that is. But if you "have to", at least give the option to choose between the old and new one. It would be great, and more users would be happy. :D

Yes, if everyone wants to look at the still unfinished, but being worked on phpWeb style (based on the http://www.php.net site design), you can switch it in your profile. I actually really like the way it's coming out. And yes, I am actually the one doing the conversion. So if you want to, switch over and take a look. Just be warned, it's not completed.

As the old saying goes "don't fix want ain't broke".

The site as it now with subSilver is fine.

Personally, I like the phpBB subBlack theme (screenshot),
I am with this one.....I like the darker look, easier on my eyes. :wink:
