Hello everyone. I know alot of people who like to do these contests. So , I need someone to make an inkonboard skin for my forum located at http://www.mailservice.ms/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi. As you can see, the board is currenty grey. I would like to make my board match the colors of my site located at http://www.mailservice.ms/ I Would like someone to make me a new skin to match the site. Also, on the forum, I would like to have the top header like on the homepage, that has the logo and link bar, on the top of the skin. Is anyone up to the job. There will be a prize for the winner.

What kind of prize?

You might want to give an idea of how much the prize will be if you are expecting people to spend a lot of time on this.

I am not expecting people to spend alot of time, as it is not the hardest thingin the world to make a skin as I have heard. I will give what I think it is worth.

I guess thats why a good skin can cost 300+ ;)

Are you serious?

I just want someone to modify the current skin to match the colors of my site, as well as just add the top navgation bar that I have on my hompage, which I will provide the html for. Will that be hard? Seems like all you have to do is change colors and add html that I will provide.

Why cant you do it then ? :)

Don't know how to make a skin, or edit one.

My point is that statement isnt true, it takes a lot more than that to create a unique skin to match a site. :)

Well, I found someone who can modifiy it for 20 dollars. Why would I need a unique skin Matt? All I want o do is change te colors?

Ok cool. Go with the $20 offer if i were you, be sure to post a link to the finished article so we can all take a look.

Goodluck.

Kyle... If I were you.. I would just change the colors by going to the admin panel... but as Matt said, please post the design after :)... And always remember " you get what you pay for".

If you just want to change the colors to match the site, then that wouldn't be considered making a new skin.

All you need to do is login to the admin panel and change the settings. Just as how you would add/modify forum categories and descriptions.

As for the logo/navigation bar, you just have to add the HTML onto the forum header.

I think eve $20 would be too much for something rather simple.

I will have a play with the colours in your admin section to make them match, and add the html you need for $20 (this is not skinning) :)

Heh.. Matt just busted your bubble Kyle.

No, I don't live in no bubble:D

Hello. I have customized a IB before but I usually do skins for VB. I can do a customization if you make me an admin - around $20-$40 for something simple (change of colors + logo). Contact me either over AIM (DLevit) or Email (dlevit@turbine7.com) if interested. http://www.turbine7.com/ is my forums......

I love the WHT world where $20 is actually a considered price:)

I dont get out of bed for less than $50 :)
