For those interested:
I have made several Changes to the skins used by the boards:
I have made some adjustments to my "The Matrix Online" Skin recently, 99% of all buttons have had an upgrade, and look much better than the wee crappy ones originally posted by Pro Boards.
APB Fans I have made you an APB Skin, please have a look and let me know what you all think! (Eichdee...) I am considering having that one as the APB crims one, and making a forcer's one also. Let me know on this also... Plus the old avatar system on these boards were crap and were deleted. ATM There are APB avatars on there to choose from when creating a new account!
Anyone else who has a game and uses these boards who would like a Skin,. I can have one made in about 20 minutes so let me know if you want one made.

Nice APB skin, V-Man. I personally am still a "MxO forever" type of person so i changed my skin to the updated "the matrix online" skin... looks good! Thanks for the work Valaro!
;D

Yep, I agree on APB skin. Very neat. Haven't checked the Matrix one yet, though, I was using the old default red and gray one. EDIT: I took a few liberties with the APB skin (didn't do much except change the links from white and orange to red and blue, tried to make it fit the banner and background more). Hope you don't mind =/ EDIT2: Changed the background to a collage of both crim/cop wallpapers i quickly made. It's in 1280X800 resolution, so it fits perfectly a 1280X1024 resolution, but as ProBoards don't resize backgrounds from PC to PC, I'm not sure what it looks like from someone else's viewpoint, so please say if it looks funny =/ It looks like that from here: PS: And Val, I don't want to steal your flame or anything. I really appreciate that you did this, just wanted to tweak it a little. Really hope you don't mind =/

... I guess im ok with it... But the crim/ forcer think I dont like as i was going to put a second skin pretty much the same only with an enforcer side of things. Mainly made it for you anywho... so yeah cool...
Plus im not sure I like the blue. i originally had something similar but Im not sure that the links being a different colour like that is APBish... i wanted to create a similar look to their main site...

As much as I'm looking forward to APB, this place feels more like home with the MxO skin.

Then please, go ahead and keep tweaking it. I put the blue/red links because it fits with the background (which is gray, white, red, blue). Orange looked out of place. Sure, it's used on the beta forums, but colors in the banner there are green and orange, so it fits. Here, it doesn't very much I don't know about having two different skins though, one crook one cop. I mean, our faction is going cop, so I don't really know why we would need a crim-exclusive skin =/

Well its only a forum skin. It doesn't necessarily have to represent who we are. I mean I like the look of crime artwork as opposed to forcer's. Forcer artwork isnt exactly... clear... Crims artwork is clear that its crims... But hey that's just my idea. And Ceege my point exactly! Thats why we have several different ones...

Wow. Just went through the skins for the forum. I'm still a Matrix Online skin guy but I like some of those other ones. The Code Streams make me feel at home. ;D If you folks don't mind I'd like to take a whack at a new one or two sometime soon. It's not terribly complicated. The artwork would take more time than anything I think. I was thinking maybe one that's True Believer themed and another that's Pride. Or perhaps tweak a couple things on the Pride one and change the name to Pride? I think it's called MxO now? Get rid of the ttb/pride alliance thing for sure. Forgot I made that. heh. Just go pure Pride.

Whoa. I just checked the default skin. It's an old one I cooked up when we first started up the alliance. I think I'll change default to Matrix Online and rename the old red and grey one to original alliance or something. If I can. Hope nobody objects. If you do let me know. ;D

Um. Whoops. Okay, for the first time ever on these forums (I think) I accidentally deleted something. Or something like that. The original skin with the travelling band alliance ttb pride confusing title bar and missing graphic buttons is gone. Not sure where .. but it's in skin heaven cursing my name right now. The new default is the code stream Matrix Online one. At least it should be. The forums have been a bit grumpy lately with me. Doesn't like me messing about I think. I apologise if my skin juggling has altered your forum viewing experience. Code stream Matrix Online skin is now called default in your profile under Modify Profile. ((Perhaps I should move this stickied thread to general discussion?))

I've modified the original MxO one I made which has been renamed default. The code at the back looks better. But I've been an APB guy for a while now and loved what I did with it Feel free to add what you will in terms of skins. I wish Eichdee was here.... God I miss her

Okay. Thanks. I really like the code stream one. Better than what I had that's for sure. heh. But variety is the spice of life and all that. ;D

Due to the number of changes in Proboards v5 I've had to make a number of changes to the forum skins.
Most are currently under renovations. They still work. They just need some stuff fixed.
I also started a new thread in General Discussion even though it probably belongs here. Easier to find there I think.
