Howdy Folks,

Due to several requests I have added two new templates here for your viewing pleasure. One is Green-Gold and the second is Business Blue. To switch to them temporarily, scroll down to the bottom of the page, where you will see a drop down containing "OurDJTalk 3.8" and select the theme you wish to use the page will automatically reload.

To use the theme permanently, that is every time you log on. Go to your User CP > Edit Options > Forum Skin (towards the bottom) > Select your theme and press save changes.

Here are some screen shots of what posts look like for a little preview.

Green Gold:

Business Blue (not sure why they call it that doesn't look very blue to me)

Of course there is always the vBulletin default which I tweaked a little bit this evening:

All of these styles are provided as free releases by Themes By Design if you happen to run a forum, stop by and see Peggy she does top notch work. I've had custom work done by her in the past.

Lastly I've tested all the templates but if you notice any issues please don't hesitate to report them.

Thanks,
Dan

Hey...the whole green/gold blob and stars thing changed!

There are now silver and red stars and it seems that the required points for one is lower, or based on something else. Maui Chuck now has 4 stars, more than the previous leaders, Papa & Jon.
Wait...it seems you need more than four red stars to get a silver star. Which is why Chuck has four, they are all red, whereas Papa has a silver and a red.

Just played around...and oh my god is the green and gold theme ugly. Sorry.

Yeah I just upgraded the plugin that makes those little stars. It looks like it's changed from just gold to Bronze, Silver, and Gold stars. Looks like standard ranks: Silver means more than Bronze and Gold means more than Silver, etc. If you guys want I can tweak it.
 
I like the last one. But I'd hate to have it look like those other boards. You know the ones.

Yes, can you make them twinkle to the beat of the music? Or do I need a DMX controller for that?

Rick's doing the beat matching coding for rep stars. He's the man to speak to about that. :sqwink:

You seem to be dumping an awful lot of extra work on Rick...I hope you've got enough beer.
 
LOL, I must be the odd man out on this one.... I like the Red...it keeps me awake! :) :sqwink:

I like it as well, I especially like that it is a custom job and only ours.
Thanks Dan.
 
Thanks Guys! :) I'm partial to the red too, it was our very first custom template and it's our very own. Hank did the logo for it which I love and have added to all the new templates. We even got the red toned down a bit after it was installed based on feedback.

As much as I love the red template I was well aware that it can bother some folks eyes and one of the regulars suggested that I add some blue just after we first installed it but seeing as how my color selection super powers are horrid I've shied away from messing with perfection.

I'd really been looking for some new color schemes for a while and would download new ones then forget to install them mainly because I'd look at it and say too much work I'll do it tomorrow.. Tomorrow came I never did it. Last night I had some spare time and got busy. :)
