AveoClub getting a custom skin (style) this week
Just a heads up...
AveoClub is going in for some minor bodywork and a respray this week.
We've had a designer working on a new look for the site (hinted at it when we swapped out the default phpBB logo a while back). So at some point before Friday, you'll log on and the forum will look something like this:
http://www.aveoclub.net/phpBB3/image...skin-draft.jpg
(OK, if you really prefer the default phpBB skin, you'll have the option to switch back to it in the user control panel. )
Eventually ... the plan is to feature members' cars in the header slot where the 2011 Aveo RS concept is. Sort of on a random rotation. When that feature is set up, if you'd like to have your car shown up there you'd just have to say so (oh, and post a good photo if you haven't already).

Sure, count me in. I would like to have my car up there...

Re: AveoClub getting a custom skin (style/theme) this week
Thanks for the comments guys.
serega: when I get the programming in place to feature members cars, yours will be up there for sure.

Annnnnd.... AveoClub's new skin is live!
If you happen to spot any bugs with this new style, let me know in this thread.
And if you *really* don't like it, you can switch back to the default phpBB skin in your user control panel > board preferences > my board style and select "subsilver2".

This is not bad at all! 8) =D>

Re: AveoClub getting a custom skin (style/theme) this week
Yeah, I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
The guy who designed it is only 18 years old, and just got kicked out of his college graphic design program. :P (Supposedly social activities were interfering with academics... not because he can't design!! [-X ) Doesn't hurt that he's also a car nut and forum user (not AveoClub - he's mostly into VW's).
This was the first project he's done for me. Now I've got him working on some other web work.

Re: AveoClub getting a custom skin (style) this week
I like this a lot! Great work!

Re: AveoClub getting a custom skin (style) this week
I for some reason miss the old style. Maybe Im just old school and not one for change, dunno. Im going to switch back to the old style. Thanks for leaving us the option. I know it doesnt really affect the info or quality of the board, but Im just partial to the old style. I will say that indeed, it does look great so props to the designer, its just not for me.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Overall, I will say that a great job has been done to clean this forum up, I dont want my comments and ideas to get twisted here.

Re: AveoClub getting a custom skin (style) this week
I like the graphics at the top of the board. Some of the internal graphics could be smoother. Maybe lose some of the white drop shadows all over the place. Also something different than a blue bar across the quoted area would be better.
Overall I like the design and especially the larger page graphics.

Yeah - I had wondered about that quote blue bar too.
Maybe even a dark grey would be better. Any suggestions?

Re: AveoClub getting a custom skin (style) this week
I really like the new site and skin. Can't wait to see more of it and the changing rides on the top. Hope to be up there, too one day. Keep up the good work.

I'm waiting for the changing rides too. Do you need separate pictures for that or will it be the pics that are already floating around the forum?

Nah, I can just grab a pic from your thread.
The new feature is now live (developed / tested with Daox's sedan rebuild project).
You're up next - I'll add your car later today (probably tonight).

All we need is a picture of your car and we can use it up there.

Post up a pic (or link us to one) that you'd like us to use. :)

Re: AveoClub getting a custom skin (style) this week
Or several pics so I can pick the one that's best for the header.
Oh, and post a link to a thread of yours on AveoClub that the image will link to (if you want a link).

Don't forget to post links to the AveoClub threads you'd like your images linked to as well.

Re: AveoClub getting a custom skin (style) this week
Yep, you're up there. I like that photo - action shots rock! (Notice I left in some pylons? They're kind of hard to see against the red...)

Or would you like me to take a specific shot angle?

Re: AveoClub getting a custom skin (style) this week
FYI, I'll add all the cars people have requested.
But probably not "next-day service" :shock:
dare2ride: I think I can work with your side-view photo. I like the 3/4 views or side shots.
