Do you want additional styles in the forum?
The phpbb forum software supports many different styles, also called templates. You can test some of them here: http://www.phpbbhacks.com/templatesdemo/
These styles can be installed all at the same time in addition to the current default style, and the user can choose which one to use! However, I cannot install all of them because it would be too much work - I would have to apply all patches/modifications to all templates.
Therefore I will add only the most requested styles. In a first step, I just want to know if there is any interest in alternative styles, and a list of which styles you like. In a second step, I can then add a vote for the most requested styles.
Please keep in mind that some of these styles may look cool, but may make reading the forum a pain...

Don't worry, I don't spend more than a few minutes a day on the forum itself. I spend much more time on writing answers here.
However, I did get some complaints from people who preferred the old forum look, so I want to give them an alternative. So if you want a different style, let me know! You can also suggest them by e-mail if you don't want to post here.

IMHO [Black Dog ]
the old forum lovers just need some getting use to the new look. After a few weeks, they won't even remember the old style. Is it worth making a fault in the modifications and possibly crashing the board for ?
It's just like the EURO. We all complain, but when I see some old Dutch coins now, I can't imagine using them in the shops. It would feel like I was using fake money.

I have now added the following two styles to the forum:
- Cobalt
- phpbbvb2
These two were requested multiple times (by e-mail and here in this forum).
The second one looks almost like the previous forum, but unfortunately it has yellow buttons. I assume that the writer of the style changed the buttons to avoid copyright conflicts with the makers of vbulletin.
I will add a poll with all styles, so you can vote for additional styles!
