Board style

Postby quidam » Sun Jul 17, 2011 3:50 pm

Out of curiosity: what "board style" do you all have set on this forum?
I currently am set on the Hello Kitty theme. Something about the sugar coated pink happiness amuses me. Someday it's overpowering floofiness will get to me and it will be changed.

Omg, just today I was considering starting a poll about this..! I have used the default style for months, until I posted about my colour blindness and not being able to see everything very well, and then Greyhaunt/K2 suggested I should change the boardstyle... Up until that point I didn't even know it was possible.

I have now been using DarkFantasy for quite a while and I won't change it again. I love it. Not only can I see when new stuff has been posted, I also really like the clean design :).

I love Hello Kitty, but when I couldn't tell what meant new threads I sadly switched it back to Dirty Board, and now I really don't know if I could use anything else anyway.

I use the silver and blue streamlined one. I like my boards to be clean and streamlined. I just want to focus on the words posted. :-)

I use 'Dark Fantasy', I find it easy to read, and easy on the eyes.

Dark Fantasy here too! Quickest to load and easiest on the eyes. Also, I like that I can immediately tell when I'm logged out.

I stick with Dirty Board myself - I like the paperiness of it as well - and the sad rag doll at the bottom. I tweaked it enough to add Anna Marie to the bottom, and the name stuff at the top :)

I tried to pick a nice variety of themes for us, but remember that if you ever see a PHPBB theme that you would like me to install I'll be happy to do so - you dont' have to be stuck with the wierd things I picked. I confess, I picked the Hello Kitty one because it is the absolute embodiment of everything I would LOATHE in a theme hahahaha. Which meant that plenty of people would like it so it had to be an option :) ANd of course there is the pinkness that is the Pinky theme :)

Sometimes I forget there are other themes until someone reminds me!

For those who enjoy statistics, the current user spread to theme is:

Dirtyboard 312
Dark Fantasy 16
Fae Forest 13
Pinkie 12
Hello Kitty 10
Prosilver 5
subsilver 2

Since Dirtyboard is the default I'm not really surprised - maybe more folks will change after reading this thread :)
