Wow! A new skin! What's the occasion? Today is July 2nd, the anniversary of the day on which this site was created! Today is SRB Day, and the start of SRB Week, which'll end with another holiday! All through this week good things will be happening around here, so stick around and celebrate! What's with all the spirals/swooshes? Those 'spirals' are taken from here. (Credit goes to Turbohog! More on credit later.) Basically, the 'Spiral' or the 'Swoosh,' or whatever-it-is, it depends on what people start calling it, is our new symbol! So, um, enjoy! ![]() Did you save a backup of the old one? Not only do we have copies of the board wrappers and style sheets on several different computers, but we also have a copy of each individual picture and their old imageshack URLs: this means we wouldn't have to upload each individual image. Additionally, we'll be uploading this information (as well as the info for this skin) onto the internet, so that it can be accessed from any computer, provided you know certain passcodes. So, yes, we do have a backup, and it'd be possible to put the board exactly to how it was within ten minutes. I don't like the new skin. Can you fix it back? As I said, yeah, we can fix it back easily. But we won't, at least not without group consensus. It doesn't matter to me whether you appreciate the work that went into this or not, I understand if you don't like the new board. But, I think you'll get used to it.What about a skin changer? A skin changer is on its way. If I can get it to work, it'll only change the CSS, which basically means that the checkerboard, the banner, and the buttons need to stay the same. The only way to completely change the skin is to have a domain, and we're working on that for the near future. Ooh, can you make _____ skin for when you get the skin changer? Currently, only two skins are planned to be made: a Knuckles skin, on the request of a certain person in power here whose name will be left unsaid (XD) and an SK&WS skin. After that, we can talk, but as I said, changeability will be limited.Speaking of my favorite character, you didn't use him/her/it/other in the skin! Why not? I stuck to to the big three, plus Eggman. This allowed me to stay to a color scheme of blue and checkers, with only a couple of other colors mixed in. What's the dilly-o with the new marker things? I can't explain it much better than the thing at the bottom of every forum that explains this. But, I can try. Blue Spiral/Swoosh = Postable Topic Red Spiral/Swoosh = Pinned Topic Gray Spiral/Swoosh = Unpostable Topic Sonic head = Hot topic! Tails head = Poll topic! Knuckles head = Moved topic! Hitting Knux's head at the lower-right corner of any post will also send you 'gliding' up to the top of the page. ;D Hey, this is really messed up on my screen. Um... that's not a question... but... it's VERY IMPORTANT. If you are having a technical problem with the new skin, such as loading times, viewing screen, font size, font color, or anything that means that you cannot view the board, then tell me in the Skin Feedback Thread. Hey BR, WTF?! You haven't posted on RPs or anything in like days. I know, I'm sorry. I've been really busy watching my pet monkey, Chimpy the Nonexistant Chimp, work really hard to make this new skin.Seriously, I know it's been a little bit slow the past couple of days due to GS and myself being silent due to, well, this, but let's all come back now! ;D So what now? Go post on the Skin Feedback Thread and tell us what you think! Or did you mean in general? Well, between GS and myself, we've saved several surprises for the upcoming days, so keep the spirit!
