Site Design

[gutterpupper]

I don’t want this to sound like a criticism in such but I wondered if there was any reason why the sites design is so…. Bland? I think it’s been the same for many years now. I know there was donations drives and such. Is there any way to make the site more customizable, even if the user needs to use off-site hosting to do it? Is there a possibility (perhaps) to raise funds through the site in the form of a small subscription to access other features? I just don’t want to step on anyone’s toes if people are quiet happy with how things are. I just feels it needs a little more life/color in it.

we have currently three accessible skins, one of which is mainly for slow net users, however when it comes to skinning the site l personally (l dont know whether this still holds true for the owner, but l assume it still does), we have always usually opted for darker skins because in general they are easier on the eyes, too much white means too much glare from the screen especially when your on for any length of time.

another point of interest is that we use the skin over a number of sites so when we do upgrades and code updates that its easier to carry changes over to our other sites.

with regards to opening up the site to self customisation via remote code, that can be a security risk, that said if someone who wanted to design skins for the sites were to offer services then they would have to speak to the owner for more information.
