I may be able to dreg up a skin selector from EM, I'm not sure if I can find it in the code though, but I know they implemented one after I left the forum, and before it died.

also, I really don't like the new forum icons. they just feel uggh.

Sorry, could you go into more detail about which icons and what about them in particular you don't like? I can be more helpful that way.

There's a place for skins in the My Controls section alongside language selection if that helps.

Interestingly enough, that feature does absolutely nothing. Invisionfree never implemented it despite it being an option on user's control panels. Same goes for the language option too.

Ah yes. I remember constantly beating myself about why InvisionFree never decided to actually implement that feature. Such a shame, really.

I poked around some and found a javascript skin selector, is this compatible with what we've got? If it needs to be in php I think I could get something together based on that. Looks like it just swaps out the css for the site based on selection and writes it to a cookie to have it stay that way for repeat visits.

We have a code in the works already that's much shorter. The one you provided should also work, granted it doesn't interfere with the other board codes and features. It'll just take some time to set up.

when you're backed out on the main board, the icons to the left of the board selections. the faded out parakeru icons, they don't look very good in my opinion.

These then.

I'd like to say that I designed them to originally be blank squares, but added the parakeru image for character and kept him light and faded to keep him from being distracting and from imposing a theme on the website. In any case, they're designed that way to match with the other buttons and with the current CSS. Perhaps I could make Parakeru stand out a tad bit more?

that might work, right now they just kinda blend and don't really look good in my opinion.

Personally I'm not a fan of the faded out pakeru being the exact same color as the background between posts, it just looks kinda weird having a semi transparent effect going on.

Hey BA, can I make a suggestion for the new "new post" icon on the forum? what if it kept the blue background but the parakeru was fully opaque/in color ?


also, another feature i would use often if implemented, is a Home button in the user bar at the top of the page. That way I wouldn't always have to scroll up when I want to go back to the main forum page

Essentially, don't have parakeru fade or desaturated/Colorized is what you three are saying. I wanted to avoid putting in Parakeru in full color. :P Also, don't use the ones above as reference.
