Lol. About the "crap" thing... I uploaded a new template and wanted to carry some of the things from the older skin over so I needed both the new and old template to be there at the same time. I had to name 'em both as not to get 'em confused when edited one and going back to the other to collect data.
I called the new theme "Feb 2010" and the old one... "crap". tl;dr: It just helped me distinguish between the two.
Edit: One thing I'm considering that you guys could help with is this: I'm considering adding a nice static-background image to the template. It'd basically be like the "forest" image you can see here but more "Resident Evil-ish". Obviously, all we have at the moment is a sheet of grey and while it's not bad, it's not great either. I'd much rather have a sexy blown-up pic of an Umbrella lab in the background than grey. Opinions?

I'm happy with the skin we had until today, is it possible to keep it so we can have a choice? Last time we got a new skin the old one was removed after some time. If you add a new skin are you going to remove the old one?
I don't mind the grey at all, actually I love how this forum looks. But the forum you linked to looks good too.

No worries! If I did add a template with static background image then I'd make sure there was an alternative (basically exactly what you're looking at now with the grey background).Romero;64429 said:
Sounds like a cool idea to me! I'll see what I can come up with...Elochai;64457 said:The Umbrella Lab would be cool. It might even look better than the forest look. Maybe the lab from the first movie?
It's very dependant on the resolution you are using. I'm browsing the forum on my laptop which has a resolution of 1680 by 1050. The main forum area is approximately 800-900 pixels - if I remember correctly - so I can see an absolute ton of grey either side of the main forum. If I were to implement that background tile thingy then people on higher resolutions would see much more of the tile. Are you on 1280x1024 resolution by any chance?Romero;64460 said:^ I agree it sounds cool, but how much of it will be visible? Around 50 pixels on both sides of the forum?

I think the new changes look awesome, Steve! As long as its not too loud or busy, I'd be all for the Umbrella lab background too.Steve;64424 said:
