Forum 'Style' ...
Am I the only one who hates Sub-Silver? Not only is this 'style' repulsive in itself, I also has nothing to do with Macs in any shape or form.
Now I understand that copyright etc. may prevent a copy of Aqua or similar but could we PLEASE have a change from this monstrosity.
(At least XP users aren't stuck with Luna ; which may be an improvement here anyway 
)
[I'm adding a poll for fun, OK?)

Re: Forum 'Style' ...
Actually, I PMed a link to Kirk a while ago with a link to a Aqua theme... what ever happened, Kirk???
Oh yeah, the PM also had a H4X0R5 for controlling "size" (weight) and size of offsite avatars, so we don't have to upload them and give the XServe a midlife crisis. Also, another mod allowed members to change their titles. Whatever happened to Kirk?

Re: Forum 'Style' ...
You want to be careful ; With that sort of time frame someone may go crazy and kill all the moderators ...
Anyway, sorry about being quite so fervent , I return to these forums and find this. 
Sorry.

Re: Forum 'Style' ...
it would be lovely to have some choice of skin for the forums. All you gotta do is download some of them from http://www.phpbb.com/styles/downloads/ then activate them though the admin panel. It wouldn't be that hard and it would give us users some choice in the style of the board. Even better! Get someone that knows a little about making styles to make a custom "MacAddict" style just for this forum! That would be cool!

AtAt's style wasn't bad, but as you see, somepeople would like a little choice NOW.

Re: Forum 'Style' ...
your right, phpBB is better than any UBB forum we had to use in the past. It supports polls and other fun stuff like that. Rock on phpBB!

Re: Forum 'Style' ...
Truthfully are any of the new features really that useful? Only idiots testing out the system for fun use polls...

Re: Forum 'Style' ...
maybe, ClanMA has used it as a voting system. Whenever the clan needs to vote on something, we use the polls feature. We also use polls to get an idea on who would support, say like, Valhalla Avatar support in MA2. But Taxx uses the poll feature to get our opinion on his music (which is pretty good). So we use polls alot. And no, we are not idiots and we are not testing the system

Re: Forum 'Style' ...
May I venture the fact that this was a joke?
Evidence 1:
I used a poll in this thread. I do not usually count myself as an idiot.
Evidence 2:
...
I rest my case mi'lord.
Anyway back on subject ; Kirk are you likely to make an Aqua style available at somepoint or do you believe Apple might take 'offence'?

Re: Forum 'Style' ...
Does anyone else think that the profile & pm buttons are Lunaen (like Luna)? Is that part of Sub-Silver or is built into phpBB2? (i.e. Can it be changed?)

Re: Forum 'Style' ...
It doesn't work mate. Anyway back on topic ; the more I look at it, the more I think Sub-Silver is intended to be Lunesk*.
*Does anyone know what the correct adjective for Luna (as in the XP theme) is? Lunaen, Lunesk, Lunar?

it is the standard subSilver template, but like everything else, it can be changed. all the little images you see can be changed. just a matter of creating images to replace them... that's why they are the only thing still default subSilver at my forums www.nintendonewsonline.com/forums
and I'd love an aqua theme here (or even to use at my forums)

Re: Forum 'Style' ...
If i took the time to learn, I could modify subSilver to make it "subAqua". Of course, I'd need to learn how first.
