Default New.... Budgie Boards
Hey whatcha all think of my board: Budgie Boards? This is my first vB and my first time at skinning (I have experience hacking IPB's though ), so the skin may not be the best. Comments, constructive criticism, and suggestions all welcome! Joining the site is encouraged as well :nervous:. Thanks.

EDIT: In case you don't know, budgie=parakeet .

This looks pretty nice. I like the subtle color changes you've made. The only criticism I have is of your page background and the header. It needs a bit more graphical flair IMO

Thanks for the comments. I'll work on the background and header. I'm only fair at making graphics but I'll give it another try.

Got to agree with Dean the background needs some work, I got a bit paranoid with them keep looking at me

On another note we used to have 17 budgies, the have all gone to budgie heaven now, so now the wife has moved on to Chinchillas, bit of a difference, anyway my point is there are a lot of budgie keepers and breeders out there so with luck your site should become very popular, all the best

Wow 17 budgies. Well thanks for the inspiration ! It seems the background will have to go. I'll work on a new one.

Should there be any type of picture in the background, or just a solid color? Like I said I'm new at skinning and I'm not that creative .

Go for either a solid colour or gradient, it would look much better, and also what about a 100% width forum instead of 800px, I just feel it's better to fill your browser, but that is my own taste

I made it 100% width and I made the background a solid color (same as last time but without the birds ). I wasn't sure how to make a gradient, so I just did solid color.

Well I going to attach a gradient background for you but it seem vb.org are have a mysql error.

So go to AdminCP Main CSS and choose either Body or Page Background can't remember which without playing and use something like
#D1D1E1 url(images/yourstyle/gradient_back.gif) repeat-x top left

Get the gradient from here
