    The green one is nice, but BB has it. If I changed it, I'd get all confuzzled again.

    I changed mine as the original was hard work , it's a lot better now and easier to read.
    i'm slowly getting used to the new set up.

    Thanks for the pointer - yep dark green for me too now - much, much more readable etc.

    Keep in mind guys and gals that the skins are temporary, we may use components, colours etc but we're not settled on a design for bushcraft uk yet.

    I've been using vBlue Dark Pro for a little while and like it, before that was the dark green whihc i quite like, it's a bit black around the edges though

    I like the black but then i always set all my Puter backgrounds to black if i can espesially Autocad drawing stuff

    is there any reason for not having a selection of skins so people can choose their own fav i assume thats the point of of the selection just most Forums seem to only allow you one tho removing the choice.

    When the colour scheme and logos reflect your "brand" its better to have that as what people see. It then becomes recognisable in other situations. If you have multiple colour schemes available then its also more work for admins as they have to add the "branding" to all those schemes that are available. Some software makes this easy..... Also some colour schemes wont fit in with the "brand" logo etc so even though they look good on the forum pages they dont match the overall website look. From a website admins point of view its a bloody nightmare!

    The difference I found in changing to green should not be overlooked as the current default of blue is seriously ‘cold’ and uninviting. It is more than simply green is sympathetic to the subject matter.

    My view only of course but has anyone studied the site visit and posting figures for the last 4 weeks?

    Had I not found the skin choice button I wouldn’t be posting this or much else so painful have I found the forum to look at in recent weeks. A blessing for some though!

    Cheers

    I think the black gives the site a more professional, finished look and the red/gold logo works well against it.
