Icy is doing some summer cleaning around here, moving older threads around, and he might even test out some new color schemes. With a nod toward the helpful archives of Azure Heights, we created another sub-board in the General Pokemon Discussion. It's for particularly useful, broad data compilations. Specific match-up articles won't be put there, just general numbers things. Also, you may have noticed we've added a few new pokemon to the "Pokemon-Specific Discussion" section. If you have a favorite pokemon, a cool picture, and you can write a substantial article to get the discussion started, go ahead and do it!  WW |

Alright, the new skin is done! For those that don't like the dark skin colour, there's a new lighter one. Check out the differences: Default: Light: So if you're not a fan of our default, darker skin, you can use the new lighter one. Just go to Profile->Modify Profile and under Select Skin, pick Light. However, the chatbox is not built in from proboards and runs from a script and all sorts of stuff, and since most people prefer the default skin, the chatbox will remain the same. Sorry guys! If there are any other problems with it, let me know and I'll change it. I won't be using the new skin myself, so I won't know if something goes wrong. Also due to a large change in brightness, I modified the colours of WaterWizard's, Zilch's, Harrison's and my colour name so that you don't go blind with either skin. And I also gave WaterWizard a pretty new title of Co-Administrator and he'll be able to do a few new things. More to come! |

Nice colour scheme, but I won't be using the new skin. I just like the black one better.
I was hoping to see blinding colours scre wyou Icy

I did two more status upgrades. It's mostly just fluff since we rarely have any problems, but Zilch is global now and I made Isa a mod on Zilch's boards. We figure that it would be helpful to have someone on the opposite side of the world in case we get spammed at night again (not recently mind you), so that it doesn't have to sit there until the next day. Isa is active, knows his RBY, and he's a moderator over at Interguild, so he's pretty much perfect for the role. I figure that we're still sort of growing, slowly, but we might get a big boom when RBYPlus happens, so it's nice to be ready for it.
Also for cleanliness, I removed WaterWizard's name for modding all the boards since it's a little redundant to have that everywhere.
=D

A suggestion for the chatbox: I guess a white shoutbox with black letters fits both skins equally well.
If it doesn't, we can think of a color scheme good enough for both skins.

Can you at least add an option for a lighter shade of gray/blue. I guess I'm old fashioned.
It's not like it affects anyone who prefers white on black. I'm not asking for black on white either, that's pretty bright.

I made links a lighter blue and tried to balance the background between white and black. Is that good for you?

I don't have a problem with links. I would prefer the background be a lighter shade of gray, or a light blue, such as the colors I mentioned. Not pure white, but this is a bit too gray for my taste.

Yeah, the compromise didn't work out too well. I also think that for potential new members, it would be good that everything looks nice.
Sorry Borat, lol.

I changed a few of the scripts a bit to make things (negligibly) faster. Also, here's two layouts for the main page. Which do you guys like better? Old: New: |

It's actually a lot harder to handle since it's not really editable, but how's it now?
