Hopefully soon. It's been over a year now.
No matter how good you may think this template is, it does need to be changed. A year is way to long to have a template, and I think that if you got a new one, activity would increase a lot more then what it is now.

Maybe for proboards, but look at something like Shiver7, they haven't changed their template since I started coming onto proboards. Proboards communities change their templates way to often. Sure this one isn't as detailed, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Actually, staying with one template for a long time is a good idea...I mean if you put a new template up every six months there is never a norm...So it's like posting in Show Off?

At the moment a template change is not feasible due to various time constraints. When we do make one, it'll be more of a suprise

No it won't. You'll let it slip to me on MSN and I will let is slip to Ovi and Matt, and, well, you know how they are. A change would be nice, but if we had to stick with one template for long, it would have to be this one. I do agree that something dark should be used next time though.

I agree that a template would be a good move, although I don't think there is anything wrong with this one. I also agree on a dark skin, the lightness hurts my eyes sometimes.

Haha, I am not like that I am a very tight secret keeper Whatever, I will suggest going for a complex and UN-simple skin for the next version. And btw, who'll be making it? Alan is not in the staff anymore..... Eternity ?

I beleive Oliver said it would be him and UC doing it. They are both more than worthy template makers.

At the end of the day, a new template will get old, and then someone will want a new one, then that'll get old, and so on and so forth. Templates are interesting only in the short term. Indeed, keeping a template for a long time is professional and shows stability, whereas constantly changing every month just looks like attention seeking.

Every month? I beleive this template is being used over a year or so? Ah, yes Josh. I never knew about Oliver and UC's template making ability. Ok, but again, I will suggest something complex, not simple.

Go look at Scribbles and Such. Pure sweetness. And Oliver is just as good.

I don't think a new skin is needed, so I'm with Eric and Morgoth. And Ovi, not every template has to be complicated or "not simple", you keep saying that SSD's skin is too simple. But simple is not bad at all, it makes the forum look more professional actually

But simple is not bad at all, it makes the forum look more professional actually I agree with J about the simple part. But I really do think we need a new skin. Maybe keep the nice light colors, but change the green to orange, or purple.

Taking it into account relies on the staff members, to be specific, the Admin team.
