Hi there,

Every time I visit this forum, I always think to my self that this is the default IPB skin, could we possibly not change it a little? Make it unique to BleepingComputer. Maybe keep the whole layout the same, but change certain parts of the forum?

EDIT: Moved to a more appropriate forum

I'm not a staff member, but I can guess that a part of the reason it's the default IPB skin is that the staff can't really take the time to decide on a skin when there's a lot of work to do in the forums (let alone anything in the background that staff-members/HJT students can only see). This is just a guess, though.

Of course, personally, I'm fine with the default.

It's been discussed before and the consensus is, it will stay as is

Has anything you suggested, been accepted? Hmmmmm?? Coincidence? I think not. :thumbsup:

I do`t know...had a former upper-management type I used to work for. He hated this color.

The real bright almost florescent green. Made a point of wearing it every chance I got. In his honor I would like to suggest it.

BTW. I took early retirement and moved on to other things, he got the ax.
