New dark 'skin'

[gary892]

Of the three options currently available, I prefer the Gray. It is easier on the eyes.

Thanks to all involved.

I like the gray too. Thanks for all the effort you folks put in for us.

[Henry Ambrose]

Another compliment for Gray.

I added a few more: Brown, Navy, and Charcoal.

Hi Tom,

I like the Blackend, but it makes the thread icons even more intrusive.

On the best of days they're too large, and fundamentally unnecessary.

I would vote to make them smaller or eliminate them completely.

You should call this skin "Halloween".

I just found a problem (actually two).

When you click on a user name to access the PM and other options, the text is virtually unreadable.
The text is rendered mid-gray on a dark gray background.
I got the PM option because I knew where it was.

The other problem is this thread was not visible on the New Posts page, since I had made the last post in the thread.

This is butt stupid. You're inconveniencing the contributors for absolutely no reason.
Would you PLEASE list all recent threads in the New Posts search, and boldface those that have not been viewed?
That is a standard configuration for vBulletin, as used on other sites that I frequent.

I am using Charcoal right now. This and Gray seem the best to me. I found Navy worthless though. Blackend might be good for energy purposes but I'd change it to an non black color (very dark gray maybe).
The Forum icon dissapears with the new skins btw.

Thanks for the hard work y'all!

I made one called "Gray". You'll have to refresh your page in order for it to appear (on the list on the extreme lower left of the page).

Thanks, Ken. That was exactly what I needed. The default powder blue is impossible to read!

I switched to charcoal to get black lettering. Works well with photos also.
