How Many Styles Does Your Forum Have?
 

Please check the poll and respond and/or vote.

Just curious here.

Thanks,

... 1

it will have two upon completion :D

<i>Mine has 6...2 are feminine, 2 are masculine, and 2 are seasonal (Halloween & Christmas).</i>

1, I find it hard to maintain more than that.

around 4

the biggest site i have is actually with a major style with color changes... the others are just one style, because the style represent the essence of the site, not the mood of the users.

On vB.org we also use 1 single style. Some personalisations can however be done in the UserCP.

I only show one style to the members :)

About 23 and counting. Yes, nearly all are colour swaps, and most are because I'm not one to take down holiday styles from the menu. Including Christmas, Halloween, New Years Day, etc. Then two more are the answer to the member queries, like removing the shoutbox or a fixed style. Then three more are member submitted, and two more are test styles.

I have 11 and one test skin. The test will eventually be deleted, it's just my testing grounds for things.

I'm shocked at the response I thought people all had a bunch of skins on there board. Maybe it was unnecessary for us to make ten then. I just thought it was a good number.

1 - and I went all out on it too!:rolleyes: yeah right!

2 - 5
Just test ones :p

Only one, too lazy to manage more than that :)

I'd rather spend my time investigating the new members who sign up.

I have 3, but I eventually turned two of them off, because a poll suggested that no one even knew we had alternate styles. I figured it would be easier to maintain being that I make regular changes to the forum and experiment a lot. But in the future, I plan on making my own skins, so I'm pretty sure I'll have more. Or I may see a free one that I simply can't resist.

I have 65 :p

~ 27 here

We can tell from your profile :D

ah, come on, that's not even funny anymore.. rofl!!!

Erm ...22,890

nahhhh just kidding 4 (male/female/test/almost demolished vb default)

tell me about it..especially with over 600 templates to edit for 3.7 O_o

ouch, I feel your pain. :eek:
(not really)

I have one available to the public, and four which are private.

The private ones are old themes that no longer work. For the 3.7 upgrade we just copied the CSS over from our theme and started from scratch on the templates. The only reason they are still there is for reference in case I forgot something.

VB Default only.

we tested about 7 or 8 different themes, but in the end for our webpage, the default matched perfectly!

Just one -- I find having more than means more work for me. ;)

One too. I would fine it too hard managing multiple styles. Plus, if you use a homepage (cms system) and you designed to blend in with a specific style, it wouldn't look right with another. And there is having to do template edits for each style if you you install an hack with template edits.

Our site has 2 selectable and 1 specific to the landing page.

What I would like to know is if there is a way to tell how many people are using the different styles.

I think with most CMS systems, or maybe in vBulletin itself, there's an option to force the homepage to display only one style. I can't quite remember where I set that, but I have that for my vBa page. It's actually been a necessity in my case, because I needed a fixed style for my forum pages, but a fluid style for the home page.

Just one. I do oodles of mods to my theme all the time, and replicating it across multiple skins is just a pain in the ass.

I do plan to add a fixed/fluid option though.

one, and it was painful!

I think I have 5 or 6 right now. For months I detested the idea of creating more skins because I have so many template edits, but then I finally gave into my members and found an easy way to implement more. Lets just hope I don't want to manually edit many more templates! :eek:

My main site currently has three: Apogee, Perigee and Classic...

Creating two more due to public request :)

I just have one - which I'll be implementing in my main site soon. Just need finish programming, then some testing. I am however going to be creating a different colour scheme, then give users an option in their UserCP to choose which colour they want.

13+ (right now 19)

My forums have a custom style applied, and the default one deactivated.

Members only have the 1 option.

Just one - I do change it every year though to keep up with the different player changes etc.
