Hi guys! I have a question regarding BKforum look/functionality

[laz]

I have been thinking about installing some sort of a new skin on the site.

But I want to ask you first.

Here is one skin I have found which would be compatible with our forum:
http://www.vbskinzone.com/demo/ (Red Carbon)

What do you think? Do you like it/hate it?

My other thought is to purchase a BLOGS plugin. This function, which can also be seen here > http://www.vbskinzone.com/demo/blog.php gives each user ability to write his/her own blogs. Is this something that you could see yourself using? or would I just be wasting money and time to set something like that up on BKforum?

Please do share your thoughts, I'd like to improve this community and make it a more pleasant place for all of us.

There are 4 different styles with that demo and the one that comes up when I click on it looks almost like this one. I do like the really light blue one.

Hi Lazar...Nice to finally meet you..sort of.

When I click on the skin demo I am only seeing the light blue so I'm not gonna vote yet. . But I kinda like the light blue. I'm thinking red would be too hard on the eyes. One thing I like about this forum is how easy it is to read and navigate. I like it the way it is. But ya never know.

And the blog....I think that would be very cool...I would definitely blog!

I saw that too! LMAO I thought Wow What happened to my BK forum?!?!?

[danaf]

yah - I tried again. Tried to log in with demo, demo - and nothing. So I'm clueless.

But about the blogs - I'm not a blogger so I'm sorta indifferent about it. However I could totally see some members doing it - one that comes to mind is treehugger. And Lazar, from an SEO perspective, it might not be a bad idea.

To be honest, I really like it the way it is now (very good readability) but the Red Carbon isn't bad either if you really want a change. Truthfully, I have no preference beyond liking it the way it is. So it's all good.

How's that for a specific, definite answer? *laugh*

Good to see a post from you, Lazar. Thanks for hosting the board!!! You've helped more people than you will ever know...

Ditto.

I like the idea of the "blog".... lots have asked about it in the past. I'm sure many would participate.

The new setup - not sure about it yet. Gotta think on it.

lol Minny needs to have a couple of days to internalize the new options.

First time checking in today and the new look threw me for a loop. I couldn't find where the Forum page was at! ROFTL! After scrolling up and down the page and left to right, frantically searching for the forum page, I found it. Whew!

I like seeing the latest posts right away because that's usually one of the first things I look at when I sign in, so I like it.

About the blog...

I personally would LOVE to look at an individual user's blog when I find someone with issues or events similar to mine. It's sure reassuring to get to know a person or two who is going down the same path or has gone down the same path. The signatures people post with dates and events kind of do the same thing on a very limited basis and they are very valuable. A blog would make it possible to add all sorts of details.

However, I'm worried about getting myself in to trouble while I go through this process and I'm constantly reconsidering which details I should post for fear of a creditor using it against me somehow. If I had a blog available, I'm not sure how willing I'd be to post detailed information ther for others to see.

I installed a skin called "green", you can select it at the bottom. This is not to replace the our blue standard (which seems like most people still like)

I am also going to install blogs, as I see interest is there.

[laz]

I installed blogs

Now you can write your own journals:

I get it now...Lazar has decided to "go green" in keeping with the current movement...or are you a big Kermit the Frog fan??
