Christianity Board's Redesign

We did it again. Christianity Board now has a new design in case you haven't noticed. We decided that the website needed to be more spread out in order to make the entire experience a little more easier on everyone.There are some minor glitches with post colors, and that will be taken care of as we come across them.Expect the first release of our Newsletter to be coming in the next week.

Thanks, glad that you two like it. Feedback has been positive thus far and I'm happy with the look myself.

Yes, I designed everything but the thread buttons which I probably will be redoing in the future. I just happened to come across them and they saved me time. Forum icons, all other graphics, and the actual skin were done by me.It took me a couple hours to get it all ready, but not overly long. I had an idea of the concept in my head and worked to achieve it. I'm used to this process though, I hope it becomes a good part of what I do for a living with my little company.

Thanks gibby, you're doing quite well over at Lampstand yourself given that its not in your career field. Forums are much harder than sites to design, so don't feel bad. The problem with forums is you have to adapt to someone else's coding and thought process. Your design may go one way and the forum design itself may go another. Hence the reason most forums look nearly the same. If you're an amateur/hobbyist web designer and you're skinning a forum, you're doing quite well.

Cutting and pasting is how you learn. Yep, in phpBB's case you have the TPL files that you edit for the look which makes it nice. Believe it or not, but vB is a little better because it has a built in ability to edit things. The problem with it, though, is that if you really want to change things you have to know the difference. However, you can change the basic looks without knowing much of anything. PHP is an entirely different beast.And thank you, lounge, for the compliment. It indeed was a change, I'm not normally a fan on the darker background but I really like this color combo.
