New site skins

[Administrator]

We are buying some new sins for the site this week. I am planning on picking up another multi-colored skin package so you can have a colored accents of your choice. We where going to forgo this idea cause every time we did software security updates it used to break the compatibility of the skin and it took a while to get to repairing things. I know many of you like the colors, hell I know Alie does especially. The one we found is supposed to come with its own update support this time.

Anyway just a heads up that the look of the site will be changing over the next two months. I will probably be killing the badges off on the site so we can do it right and properly re introduce them not to mention a few new ones that are not just related to the machines you own. Se

For those who are interested this is a statistic chart from the inception of the site.



August 1st the vBulletin license was purchased.
Between then we had multiple test accounts while building the site and a few legitimate tattooer friends helping to seed it.
September 1st 2010. The site was launched to the public.
the third I think was when we got our first group of people signing up through Google searches.

Are they compatible with vbulletin4

The site you work on is IPboard no? Fortunately for us vb4 is now old enough that you can get out of the box skins for reasonable.

Yep IPboard..http://www.ipbforumskins.com/......As you know, just like Politics, doesn't matter what you, do, there will always be some wanting more/bigger/longer/smaller/brighter/darker..LOL..Site regeneration, and development is "mass" driven, based on certain factors, popularity/security/advertisement....Growth is good, the added implications can be time consuming, and frustrating for the Admin, and Moderators..However, this site, has a great bunch of members, who are dedicated to promoting the site in a positive manner,ok, all sites have fall outs, and deep discussions....The difference between a Professional Forum, and a "tattoo website" is simple...It is how these issues are managed, and dealt with in a mature and informed manner...

Another word could be used and that is maturity!

[skinmech]

I agree, so I added it...

just a pity 'maturity' doesn't apply to me lol!

My thing with wanting a new skin is mostly so the damn thing updates without having to dig around in the code when links disappear. Vbulletin is great but when version 4 came out it changed a lot. 3 was turn key and had so much free plugins. All the cool stuff for 4 you have to pay for.

Yep, popularity and recognition, doesn't come cheap......If there was any competition left in the Rotary Machine Forum "Market", they would be miles behind,LOL
