New Skin/Smileys

[Amanda]

So, I decided to make a new, more professional looking skin for the forum as this is a graphic design forum and the skin should show off graphic design skills. I hope you guys like it!

As you can see there is an information table now on the forum. The main purpose of the information table is for the SOTW winners and the Coming Soon information. The welcome message is for new members. There are links to the right side for you to click on a staff member and you will be lead to their profiles to send them private messages.

Installed in this skin are also some new codes... Members can now have a member picture.. It will show up on your profile page at the bottom of your profile.

You now can include your DA Id's in your profile if you have an account.

There is a new "Default" avatar for users with NO avatar selected.

I installed a new money hack that adds 15$ for each post and 20$ for each +1 rep/karma that you receive. I will be creating some kind of "Shop" with items you can spend money on.

As soon as I get the "portal" coding situated I will be adding a portal page to the forum and there will be a button for it in the menu bar as well.

Also here are the new smileys and the codes for them

Very nice new skin! It does look more professional than the last and fits better I think.

One thing I noticed before logging in, there's no link to join the forum (at least none that showed up on my computer). Up at the top, the menu bar only has the Home and Help buttons listed. So we'll need to fix that quick so that new members can join.

Where the PM link is it says Login or Register, and the Login box still has the register option too I think.

Ohhh, yes, now I see it. I must have just missed it. It is kinda early for me. =p

I'm glad everyone has good things to say about the skin :-) i was worried it might have been too much

Well, I don't know what the old skin looked like, but I really like the skin you have right now. Very sleek, professional feel to it. Very good job.

I designed it for your nice words.

Only thing I don't like is the smileys =p but I've never been a big fan of those kind either (the ones that are larger than the height of the text and seem to warp the individual height of the post as a whole, if that makes any sense).
