Rep Power: 6  | PC101 needs a 3.6 skin...
Hey y'all,
We need to upgrade to 3.6 and our current skin is not compatible. I need help in finding a cool skin and would appreciate some input! Here are a few points I think are important... - Skin/template must be 3.6 compatible.
- Skin/template can cost up to $50 but FREE is better.
- Skin/template shouldn't be crazy bright in color.
- Skin/template should not be too dark with white text. I've seen a few like this that are cool but generally, I'm just not a fan of that look.
Since this is our internet home let's hear some suggestions and see some skins!! 
Lyte EDIT: I forgot!  If you find a skin that we end up using in for PC101 you have your choice of a 1 year subscription to PC MAG or PC WORLD. Hmm.. maybe one day there will be a PC101 Magazine! One restriction... the delivery address for the subscriptoin must be within continential United States!

Rep Power: 6 | No no... doesn't have to look exactly like this one. But the simple, clean, uncluttered look of this skin is a favy.

This skin looks alot like the original one you got. That way people won't be shocked when they notice minor changes.
Cost=$30
It is called Satellite http://www.vbstyles.com/index.php?do=vbulletin-skins
I like a few of the skins here. Let me know what ya think .

Rep Power: 6 | Well, that's the quandry! I'm not 100% sure it's compatible or not. I've asked the dude who installed but haven't heard back yet.

Rep Power: 2 | You can do what I've started doing on my forum which is taking a skin (that I purchased) and modifying it. It isn't that hard. You can take a look at my progress at http://forum.codecall.net/?styleid=31

Rep Power: 2 | Yes, it does take a while! I'm finding anytime I change one thing I mess something else up. If you need any PHP help I'll be glad to help you.

Rep Power: 3 | Cool idea, I just get a temp format that I like, and change the pics in it mostly. Try not to code if I don't have to. Rep added Jordan for the generosity

Rep Power: 3 | Lyte, how about you start posting examples of styles you like, and Ill see what I can do for you. Not sure if you read the thread about my absence lately on my forum, but I'm back. I'll see if I can hook you up on a new design and get you up to date.
It may take a few weeks but it will get taken care of

Rep Power: 6 | Hey Mark,
I didn't know you were out... the ear thang still?
Well, I'm still liking this design unless there's something new and fantastic for 3.6.1 More than anything, I just wanna update the site to 3.6.1 so we can have more spam protection.

Rep Power: 3 | Then your inquiry regarding the satelite skin would be correct. Those have in fact been updated to 3.6.1.
No, My wife was hospitalized Tuesday. Nothing serious and she is now home... My life is full of interesting turns.
