    I believe that digitalpoint have very bad graphics and only two bad color schemes which i don't like,,

    you should open a contest for redesign of this community,, it will probably gain more success

    Why do you think so - I like it, it's:
    1. Fast
    2. Informative
    3. Don't annoy eyes
    4. It's very usable
    And I think, members will agree with me

    Respect to DP designers and admins!

    Rather than concentrating on the design, why don't you concentrate on the content here ? Since that's what prolly would be of use to you!

    Does the design or graphics really matter ? There is not much of graphics here except for logo modification and colour change which I think is ok, apart from that i think the community makes up for the lack of design.

    I want two definitions from you though, the phrases,
    two bad color schemes and more success (The latter sounds hilarious, especially for a forum like DP .. lol )

    Enjoy the boards and try to comprehend the data here!

    Cheers!

    No, the design DOES matter in fact and DP's color scheme rocks. It's relaxing, non-distracting, non-depressing and rather neutral, which is exactly how a forum design should be. So that people can read and post easily and concentrate on the content and not on something else.

    P.S. www.digitalpoint.com's design stinks though...:D:D

    It loads fast and it's familiar to everyone, changing it now would be a bad idea. I think it looks good too.

    Shawn will have to manually do alot of modification to other skin as he have custom mods etc and this skin mataches the main site of digitalpoint! Plus i am sure no one pay attention towards skin of DP we just check out the *content*

    At the end of the day, if your here to make more coin, the design shouldn't matter :)

    I'm not one to add something or change something just for sake of changing it. To be honest, the existing design works, is fast and is what everyone is used to. I certainly don't think changing the design would gain any additional users/traffic.

    i don't really like the green skin, so i have the blue skin, but you should add a choosable white skin(like sitepoint) and/or a dark one like wickedfire.com

    Also, it makes it very easy for Shawn to upgrade the forum to a new version of vBulletin since it's basically using the default theme already. Not many (if any) changes during the process.

    It's simple, to the point, and does not need to be changed.

    I like the green because it's easy on the eyes. I hate going to a site that has a dark background and light font color, you can't read it. That's why they say white background with black text is best if you don't have design skills. I've seen some pretty bad sites, and I think the traffic here speaks for itself.

    Was this a post just to get people to tell ya how much they like digitalpoint? huh? fishing for compliments? :p
