So the board moved, I'm trying to fix the last few bugs I noticed for now.
The black skin has been removed as I'm not happy with it anymore and it's not easy to update when I do some changes on the board.

you're not saying you like this standard white better i hope? i think it's quite ugly

why not a standard darker theme? votes anybody? still i appreciate the work and i won't mind any colour...

this standard white is based on the main board theme so it means quick update... But i'm open to new skins if someone wants to manage it on the board.

You have access to the admin part of the board now, so feel free to add a new skin if you wish

Thanks for moving and re-erecting the board.
I too preferred the black, but after so much effort and the shocking lack of will by half the members to spend minimal money to keep your previous efforts going, the last thing I want to do is ask you to do more (unpaid) work. Kudos to you, anyway.

Ok, so as nobody seems to be interested in suggesting anything, I might do something by myself.
And don't blame me if you dislike it !

sorry franck; i didn't see that you were asking for ideas for the theme of the forum; well i'm in favour of something dark like it is now; please no pink!
But maybe something relating to the theme that's on
http://www.stinanordenstam.com right now? maybe you can even do something with that font type; dave seems to like that

I'm not sure that its too good an idea to copy the official site design here and then,if it proves to have its own message board, to effectively run in competition with it?
I really don't see any point in doing anything to this board until such time as we know whats going to be included ( or not included ) on the official site.

Thanx for your replies. I do think like Rob that it's not a good idea to be close to the official website design.
Sorry I hadn't the time this week to work on a new theme. Hope I'll be able to do it next week.

Sorry for my lack of interest these last days, I was working on my
new blog : a new install with
dotclear 2 beta 6 + a new design... and many other things.
But, the most important news is that I thought of a general colour/theme for this board and it has to be......
dark blue !
So, I'll manage to work on it in the next days...

the Dark Blue on this black background seems to be quite unreadable; maybe a white kind of font on a dark blue background? I wonder how that would look...
