Land Rovers Only Forum Skin - Land Rovers Only

Ferrarislave · 03-29-2006, 02:22 AM

I recently made a forum skin based on the interior of the L322 Range Rover. I originally offerd it to RangeRovers.net, but they did not seem interestead so I am now offering it to Land Rovers Only. I could tweak it a little to fit the logo of the site, but for the most part you get what you see. It is 100% unique (no other site will have this skin), and it is coded for Vbulletin 3.5.4. It is bug free, and the code is valid. I do this for a hobbie and have skinned many forums including my own: www.exotiXboard.com.

There is a screen shot below. If the admin of Land Rovers Only would like more information, please let me know, via PM, or email.

Thanks,
Ferrarislave

Here is the skin:

Thanks guys! I thought it came out very well too! Serg do you own Land Rovers Only? I pm'd you the address to see the board live. Let me know what you think. The skin would really set the forum apart from all the other Land Rover forums. Installing the skin is also very simple; it consists of uploading the images and the xml style file. The forum is fixed width, but it automatically resizes images that are larger then the fixed dimension. I don't think that wil be a problem, because it looks as if most pictures here are uploaded to the forum and it auto-resizes the pictures and makes a thumbnail.

keptin · 03-29-2006, 11:16 AM

sweet! hehe....are those the terrain responce icons on the left?

Can you make one for DIs? Though....its up to serg.

Capt. Ron · 03-29-2006, 11:33 AM

Do it.

brandr · 03-29-2006, 11:38 AM

Serg that is tight... Free design work and coding and you are saying no... Have you ever heard looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Your logo is nice your site is butt ugly as a excel speadsheet<it works perfectly though>. The beauty of this site is its users not the look. If it is too much work I understand.

my 2 cents DO IT SERG

no uglier then all the other Vdeck LR forums.....discoweb....pirate4x4.....etc. Its very funtional the way it is and IMO I wouldnt want a mostly off-roading forum to have a theme that represents a vehicle that typically doesnt hit the dirt at all. ....a great skin....but it would really work better with an LR forum dedicated to the newest gen rovers.....thats why I asked about a Disco I skin.

Ferrarislave · 03-29-2006, 12:52 PM

This isn't a free work... I charge lower then most skinning sites, but I still do have my price. I understand what you mean Keptin. As I said before the skin was originally intended to be for RangeRovers.net, but they do not seem interestead at all, so I figured that another LR forum might be interestead.

IMO, most forums are "ugly". Simple CSS changes, and a few ads. There are however some very beautiful and functional forum designs out there. I think good content, users, and a nice forum skin really makes a site perfect.

keptin · 03-29-2006, 04:41 PM

hmm.....you would charge LRO for it??

I was thinking you were offering it to us for free because you use the forums for free....you know....that thing. It just sounds way too much like "You need this....oh....and it's gonna cost ya."

IMO as long as the forums arent purple and yellow they look fine....plus....everyone is used to it now, a bit too late to change I think.

RageRover · 03-29-2006, 05:13 PM

I like it, very nice, I was also wondering, how you design your own web page, and put links, pics, video, etc. from your own computer.

Nice skin Ferrarislave!

I am not trying to push anything onto this site. The skin I made will most likely be sold to another non-LR based forum, but I figured before I go that far I will at least offer it to a few LR sites. Designing and coding a forum skin takes around 50 hours to do, they are most certaintly not "free". It is never too late to change either, a lot of forums change their skins every once in a while to refresh the look. Designs get old, as do colors, and layouts. Anyway thanks for the feedback fellas!

i think it looks pretty cool. but i think Serg is investing enough money into this stie as it is (money well spent buddy

)

i've been to a few forums where they had multiple skins for the user to choose from. i think that would be cool to have for all of the LR models
