Yesterday I decided to have a look at a new forum skin and see just what could be done to improve the look of the Spain forums. If anything could be done at all.
I'm not an advocate of dark forum skins. I normally avoid them myself.
What started off as a quick look, ended up with the new look.
During the design process, I contacted several people to see if it was deemed as a waste of time and the general feedback received was all good. To the extent one guy was happy that he could finally read everything clearly.
Another said it looked to modern. He also moans if the sky is the wrong colour of blue

You cant please every one all the time
Behind the new look was the change in forum logo. The new logo picture looked out of place on the original style. I will not compare it to a woman buying a new handbag or pair of shoes and needing a whole new outfit

that would just be plain male sexist.
I have combined bits from the old style with bits from the new style. Nothing here is straight out the box. There are some bits unique in design and style to The Spain Forums
The new look
Modern
Easy to read
More clearly defined
I have also kept to my word on the adverts only being shown to non members
For those that prefer the old look, all is not lost. You now have the choice of what forum style you use. At the bottom of the screen you will see "Spain forum2" in a box. Click there and on the drop down menu, click on "Spain Forum" and you will then be able to use the other style
If anyone has any criticism or ways they think it can be improved upon. Please post a reply to this
