[Cloverfield]

Interesting that this topic came up, because on the weekend I went back working on the industrial theme [I managed to install a copy of the forums on my local computer which makes things easier to work with]. I found that due to the template change from vB2 to vB3 I have needed to re-do the theme again. It's not as simple as just replacing the images. Also, Pilot must have taken down the old OWF server so I can't reference the old design directly. So instead I decided to alter the style a little and make it a more neater design, while still retaining the concepts of the previous design. Instead of using a few screenshots for the layout as the first one was, I have created original images from scratch for the table layouts. I'm still undecided as to if I'll be changing the header at all, or I might just tweak it slightly to match the new images.

I don't know how long it will take me to complete, but with Easter holidays next weekend, it might be as soon as a week away.

Although, it is a complex style ... so it's not going to be simple like a couple of people suggested. As for the links to the vBulletin templates that Death and someone else provided, I believe those are styles you can purchase. I don't have a problem with buying something like that, but really, we don't want OWF to have the same template as another 100 forums out there. It's best to have something original.

As for an Oddworld Universe theme ... I don't have a problem with that, but I think it's more suited to a alternate style that someone can choose. That way the forum doesn't appear like it belongs to one particular site. By the same account, I wouldn't expect an Oddworld-Web theme to be the main theme, but it is a possibility for an alternate theme further in the future. I can remember a discussion I had with Sydney once where I said it would be a good idea to have Oddworld-Web and Oddworldian themed styles for the forums, so this is something that has been possible for a long time.
