Why not have earlier versions of SSD as forum skins here on SSD. So we can all chose our favorite version and use it. Because no offence but i liked v4 best of all.

Each skin has very different coding. Trying to load all that would kill loading times. Plus the bandwidth put on the server. Wouldn't work out so well...

You could always ad Lite versions of the Skin like not really the Coding just the grads and colors

Bringing back the past seems like a bad idea. SSD must move on...Into a better future.

Pfft.
Version 4 was bluey goodness, and you know it.
I, myself, would like to see a psuedo-V3 skin.
Or why not just have this same scheme- just in different colors? Keep everything, just have different-colored versions of it. (V6, perhaps?)

I personally liked v3 and v4, but I don't think they should come back, really. A forum can't live in the past - it has to move on.
Also, it'll play havoc with people's posts of they had colours (like mine) then they might not be entirely visible on an early/different skin.
However, I do definitely agree that there should be some kind of light version for people to choose from. To be honest I can't see a reason why not - Zanmato does it? Or is that the reason why?

zanmato also has a horrible loading time. their "lite" version is just a tad quicker than this skin due to that code. loading the main page takes around 20 seconds, even after everything has been cached. and that is with my 2 meg connection. also, i never used to notice any loading time troubles until that code was inserted

If bandwidth wasn't a problem...and if it could load fast (for the poor dial-up users), then I would be all for it. But just some images...pft. Wouldn't look good. At all.

Don't forget guys, they'd have to update the images for ProBoards Version 4. I mean, seeing Version 3 again would be great, I'm not denying it, but who wants to see the sexy version 3 layout with the horrid ProBoards standard buttons for Bookmark, Search, etc, sticking out? I rather miss the 'ol tophat version 3 smiley dearly, though. (first time I've used that smiley XD)

I've been using dial-up with V5, and it can take up to a minute (sometimes longer) just to load this forum. And I actually have a pretty fast connection. Whatever the outcome, hold off until I get DSL.

...is there an echo in here? ANyways, I think we must move on and not bring back the past. Sure they were great, but ssd will only get better... in my opinion.

Watch it, please. If PBv4 skins are to be made, they will be made. If they are not to be made, they will not be made. (and a side note to yngwie: PBv5 isn't out yet and isn't likely to be for a very long while) Thus far, it looks like they're not going to be made because of the workload that it would create trying to generate v3 and v4 into PBv4 skins. The coding would have to be re-done and the extra images created, while still keeping in with the different themes. All the discussion aside, it looks like they won't be coming back. What's in the past is in the past and it's been and gone. Case closed.
