Most have probably noticed by now that there's a new skin on the forums, "Charcoal". I think it looks decent, and free to boot... It's probably a keeper, maybe with some slight tweaks. I'd prefer a bluish tint to complement the gray instead of a gold one, but I'm not sure I care enough to warrant the effort.

As of right now there's also a "Neon Bloo" skin. I think it's ugly, and it will be removed in short order.

I'd like to have at least two good skins- a dark one and a light one. For the latter, I'm thinking about digging up the "Orange Cream" style I made ages ago for the Chat Hideout (long story) and updating it for vBulletin 3.6.

Thoughts/comments/suggestions welcome.

I think it's good. We could revise the logo a bit.

My only critisism is the difference between the 'new posts in this forum' and 'no new posts' icons is not really enough. Perhaps make the new posts one lighter?

I wouldn't mind replacing those icons completely... I don't think they look very good.

And yeah, a new logo wouldn't be a bad idea. The one there now is just a modification of the stock on with the skin (there's a PSD included).

Remember that one picture where you had a chick as a placeholder? She should be our logo. Hells yea, it'd be epic.

Orange cream is in, more or less. I'm still thinking about re-doing some of the buttons and stuff, though. Oh, and I think some images are missing also. I originally made it for a much older version of vBulletin, so bear with me. :p

The orange color is also more female friendly. We need more of those here, zhero doesn't count.

Personally, I say get rid of the gradients in the charcoal theme and it would be fine. We don't need no options if the default is good enough :P
