    Whoa... What Just Happened?!?

    WHT Members,

    Today, as most of you have likely noticed, WebHostingTalk.com has a new, updated skin. This skin has been in development and testing for the past month, and we thank all of the Community Leaders and Liaisons who participated in testing it prior to launch today.

    The new skin utilizes the same color set as the previous default skin, but features an updated look and feel. We have made every effort to keep the download time for the new skin as close as possible to the old skin. Though it has been tested by a small group of users, the true test of the skin always comes when it is released to the entire membership base. Please report any bugs or issues with the skin to us via this thread.

    Unlike with all of our other discussion sites, we are leaving the old WHT skin as an available option to you via your control panel. If for some reason you would like WHT to continue to look like it did before today, you can easily select the previous skin by selecting PROFILE > EDIT OPTIONS then selecting it from the drop down box called STYLE SET under OTHER OPTIONS. It is important to note that though we make the old skin still available to you, it is no longer a supported skin and thus no enhancements to it will be made. As such, we encourage utilizing the new default skin so that as new upgrades and enhancements are made, you will be able to take advantage of them.

    We hope that you like and enjoy the updated look of WebHostingTalk.com!
    Best Regards,

    Is the 'updated look' just for the forum homepage? That's the only page that has changed for me.

    Edit: nevermind, all the pages have changed now

    Crap, next time warn me I almost had a seizure!

    Well, the skin is not consistent at all.
    It only works part of the time, and to be brutally honest, I hate it.

    Now I realize that you want to upgrade to VB3, I'm sure some people will welcome the new skin.

    However, please do port the usual skin to VB3 as well.
    Its not hard at all, and if its too much trouble I'll even do it myself! I sure as hell do not want to get stuck with the new skin once the VB3 port is done.

    As I indicated, the old skin is no longer a supported skin. Oh, and your feedback has no substance so not much we can do to help ya. Feel free to go change back to the old skin though.

    Perhaps you could be slightly more specific?

    Or, are you simply saying that some of the time you are looking at nothing?

    I dont want to start anything, but making one skin and then redoing its color scheme over and over and over and over again... ehh.

    I personally dont like it, and I'm not going to argue.
    All I am saying is, that the usual skin should be ported as well.

    What I think he's saying, is that he gets a combination of the existing and new skin, as I do now.

    I'll happily clear this up, at the time of the post it only applied to the index page and not to the subforums. It is slowly propagating however, and seems to be working everywhere now.

    Why is the old skin not to be supported?

    Cant speak for the sites listed that are not ours, but we require that all of our skins have a consistency, and yes, most of it is mostly color changes, but that's how we choose to have our iNET sites. Don't blame vbulletinskins as they do what we ask on our stuff.

    As for this skin, it wasn't done by them anyway... done in house.

    The home page uses the old skin, the inside pages use the new skin. What gives? I tried everything, including opening a new browser, and that's what I'm getting...

    Who said anything about porting to VB3? Simply stated that the old skin is no longer supported. If I implied we are upgrading to VB3 somehow, I appologize... that is not currently in the works due to all the customizations of WHT.

    I really like the new skin.

    Two problems, however:
    - Login page has not been customized
    - In Opera, when you mouseover the two JS dropdowns, the fields in the iNet bar disappear
    - In Opera, the quickreply box doesnt look right
    - I personally don't care for the mouseover color of the bottom links, and the orange arrows dont look to great either--they also look offcenter
    - Also, I think a small gradient would look better for the post-indicators, instead of the crosshair
    - The white bar below the dark blue one makes the top seem a little cluttered
    - The 'smilies' box could stand to be improved, too--along with the icons on the post page (a little css fixup would look good)

    Just a few things I noticed.

    Well that was my point so to speak. But I will leave it at that, I dont want to offend certain people.

    Paul, it will happen by itself, give it some time.

    For those having trouble with it not working on all pages:

    Try going to User CP > Options > select 'WHT_v3'. I did that and it's working on all pages.
