Any way to change the Blue Backgrounds ?

I know most boards allow you to change colors, I couldn't seem to find it in the options. Maybe I missed it ?

Love the site regardless.

I'm sure in the future LFG might change around the visual aspect a bit once he figures out vBulletin a bit better.

He is pretty new to this whole forum admin thing :P

I sure hope not! That means I'd have to make a new graphic ;)

Blue is gay, Let's get like Black/red/white like FoHforums. Blue sucks on the eyes.

BLACK

Can vBulletin use themes like phpbb? That way we can all have our own little worlds. If not, I dig the foh scheme too.

As Gaige said, I'm a forum and web site nub, this is my first one

But as far as I can tell, vBulletin only allows one skin, and doesn't allow users to pick a different skin.

I enabled just about every possible option on this site, except for the documentation warns you 20 times NOT to enable in caps lol, and I'm pretty sure this color scheme option is the only one possible unless I change skins.

I picked this skin after looking at over a hundred different ones. I paid a small amount to license this one, it wasn't free. I liked this one best because it combined a dark, evil kind of look with a high tech look. I also looked at red and many other colors, but I guess I just liked this one best. I hated all the light colored skins and forum examples I looked at, they seemed to cheerful. I intended this site to be fun in an adult way, but not cheerful. I guess I just prefer darker backgrounds to lighter ones on forums.

If you want to see whether any user options permit users to change how this forum looks, please click the FAQ link at the top of this page. Or check out the vBulletin forums or documentation. I'd be happy to turn something on, or enable any options, to make that possible. But after reading and setting every admin option on this site, I don't think it is possible.

I realize not everyone will like every possible choice, and some people may dislike this one, but I'm hopeful that most people like it or can at least live with it for now. If you totally like another skin better, I'd be happy to look at it if you find one and link it here.

Thanks

But if anyone does determine that it's possible to load two skins and allow the user to pick which one to view, I'd be happy to buy a second one, I'm just not sure that is possible however.

We can do it! I'd love to see some skin recommendations.

Maybe a vote is in order? :D

Just bought a second skin based on popular demand:

Sorry I didn't see this thread first, but that is a nice alternative.

I've paid for it, but I guess have to wait for some person to send me what I need to download it.

As soon as I get that, Ill send it, please keep this blue one as the main default, and install the other as the secondary optional skin. Go ahead and install it when you can, I'll try and get a header graphic for it within the next few days when she has time.

Thanks

LFG, I sent you a message.
