A new layout. Now have lizzy or something put down the templet. Well... more like what components there is to the layouts. Maybe there's a site that lets you build one like you can myself. I dunno I haven't looked into it. But then basically whoever wants to try to make a new layout try It's not to many parts I'd imagine you don't need to get intecrit. Look at this one, an off white background with a picture up top. Basically background color/imagine, banner image, ext ext. Look at other proboards sites to get an idea. I would have just asked Lizzy to make another but i think it's a better idea for everyone to get a chance. Then the winner/winners can have their layout put for the site though subject to a few tweaks. I mean some forums have like 5 layouts to choose from who why not? I'm getting tired of the same layout and banner picture anyway. I prefer something darker, easier for my eyes strange as that sounds. Even could have each one made a choice of background and we just rate Or make them, put them up like 2 people at a time who wont get to vote then make a poll. Anonymous so the voters don't know who made what, and it asks which one you are using/prefer. Then the winner gets challenged against another. Or whatever works.
Just a suggestion

I think that's a fantastic idea, Wolf! The contest for the background, banner, etc.. ;D I don't know if anyone really saw my suggestion, but when I first signed up here I made a few suggestions as far as board layout went. I've also modded and ran a few boards and still remember a few things on how to tweak the board appearance. If anyone has any questions, let me know! I can't wait to see what the end result is going to be. I'm sure whatever it is, it'll be great! ;D

I dunno about picture... I think a picture would be overkill... but like a color scheme could be cool. You can make the category banners different colors, the background, text, etc etc... And while as the banner we have now is well done (kudos to whomever did it) switching it up wouldn't hurt Oh man, the possibilities. Proboards is cool like that, you can totally create the board as you want ;D

Can I just say, real quick, my dumb butt didn't fully understand Wolf's first post. Crazy, I know! I didn't realize it was in the 'competitions' area, I thought she posted something in the suggestions or whatever suggestions a revamping of the board for the sake of doing so, not for a competition theme/subject LOLOL My bad! Moving on... Daph, you tease me (in a good, non lesbian kind of way) I am very curious about this banner now! ;D

You don't need to make a totally different board just to redecorate it. Anyone who is a 'mod' or admin' has special controls up above that regular members do not. In there you can tweak the color scheme, backgrounds, main banner, etc etc.

Thanks Ashley, but I ment, do we need to make a temporary proboard to show our entry for what layout or banner could be on this board? I could do that. Heres my entry for the banner: I made it a long time ago It might not be big enough, or to big so yeah lol. Made this with Paint.net program
