The skin is coming together nicely but we were wondering if there are any specific features you would like? Please don't ask when it will be released, we don't know yet and it depends on how busy the team are So yeah, please post any features/ideas/suggestions you may have. Keep in mind the skin has already been designed so we have the colour scheme and theme etc.

Apart from maybe bringing back the Requests board, I don't think there is really that much more you can add to the boards. But I think making the main page, erm, smaller? By putting some of the boards into one main category then putting the rest in sub boards might be an idea, because the main page seems a bit much to me. example: Programming: Coders Galore - Help and Requests - Code Database - Code Submissions Meh I dunno, only a suggestion.

Since you asked... Drag drop categories, a side bar (one that's NICE please, not 99% of the crap sidebar for PB so far) for all that stuff on the top, I know, it seems too much to ask. But I was just hoping! No but really, SSD's skins had always been revolutionary. From V2 to V3 (which is totally kick-ass standards then) to V4 to V5 and finally to this (which IS still very much different when it was first released, and set yet another benchmark), I really really hope for something more exciting than simple aesthetic changes this time. Something that is stylish and functional maybe? But E opening a thread for V7 means there's finally something! Hurray.

Refresh my memory.. I don't recall there ever being a V6
V1 was the theme of colors Ash threw together V2 was the blue one V3 was Severence V4 was the other blue one (blue steel?).. with the rollovers V5 is this.. (it says so at the top)
So where is V6? Lol...

My bad. I saw V7 and so I went on typing without thinking. And it's good to see you again, Christine. Edit: V6 was a skin with butterflies! It leaked while in development and then E or UC or someone decided that it wasn't up to standards and so stopped it.

V6 was v5 without images and an awesome banner XD (no, I really did love it ). The old v6 skin we stopped producing because it was leaked and slated to fuck. You don't feel like continuing with something when it has receive such negativity Kai, what do you mean by side bar?

I understand that. I suppose I wasn't around to see any of it.
I really like the idea of the drag and drop categories, only if the positions saved.

Good ideas... Eternity, by sidebar i think Kai was referring to the menu bar on the side kinda' like what 'Forum for Football' and 'G101' had for a while...
As for my own ideas...
... they aren't quite existent yet...
although i can suggest that with the increased editability that will be available with the new PB version, the forum should use the opportunity to completely redesign and edit the layout in a new and 'cool' way... that's what people seem to like... everyone thought the sidebars were cool when they first started being used.

surely when a release has been worked on pretty much at random for over 2 years posting a 'what do you want to see' thread is ridiculously premature especially when you have no idea when its going to be released by your own admission

Umm this has *not* been worked on for 2 years Jack.... Read above, the first one we worked on was scrapped, we've not done anything between then and the one we're working on now. The concept was made in January, and we started properly working on the *IMAGES* in July. The images are done. Just waiting on the code - hence asking for features that you want to see. Sorry if, yet again, we've done something wrong. TBPH I'd rather leave the current skin up but no, we're working on a new skin for people. Forgive us if we thought, maybe, you guys might want some input... And as for the date, I merely meant that it won't be released in two weeks or something stupid. I'm not planning on it taking another two years if that was what you were hinting at....

Maybe some how incorperate features from the site into the forum. Honestly, I'm not sure what. Right now they seem kinda sepperate, when they sould complement eachother.
If I think of anything I'll edit this post. I just thought I'd throw that out there

All articles would be put on the site and we would have the Digg feature set up so you can digg your favorites.
