Ello Everyone. Its good old emmy I know we all love our site just the way it is. we know that ciara did a wonderful job dressing up all our hard work... but we have had this skin for the longest time. Its only changed once while Ive been on the site actually. I was just wondering if anyone thought it was time to shake things up a bit and get or look into a new one. Personally i know there are some good ones on caution and red carpet rebellion. I dont want to insult good old ciara our old admin but i think its a new year and maybe we should try something new.

this could be fun. I mean, its not a bad idea. We could always save this one for later. In case (as a site) we decide we ever want it back?

Yeah and if we wanted a smooth transition we could makeit so the basic colors of the skin are still red black and white.

let's just not make the background all cheesy like some of those other sites. I think maybe get some earth tones in or keep the black and red. Maybe some pics from the movies? Not too many though. Just one here or there.

Heyyo I'm down with that except for two things I just want to put up for discussion.
Number One: This whole skin symbolizes Breaking Dawn with the chess board theme and such, so if we were to change it away from that, it would be as though we were done with BD, and we definatly are not... The last skin we had was for Eclipse, and it kinda had that swirly ribbon theme goin' with it.
Number Two: Changing the skin means not just changing the BG picture and the banner at the top, but also means changing all the grads, board highlight patterns, and everything above the side tables. Oh, and all the buttons at the top. Annddd the new/old signs. Annddd redoing the member group colors to fit the new color scheme.
Oh. A Number Three as well: Thats a whole bunch of work for us staff members. Not for just Charity, because Rowen and I are too nice to make her go all of it, so for us as well. It would mean that we'd have to go through all the header/footers and change grads etc. as well as actually making the new skin.
I think that we'd need an original skin as opposed to one from caution or whatever because it's just uncreative if there is a site out there with the same skin as ours, so if someone is willing to make all the graphics, you have my vote for yes, I suppose...
Anyways, Charity would need to be consulted on the matter.

i think we should stick to the same colors but it has been the same for a while...maybe keep the same background but add something to it?

Rose is right it's a hell of a lot of work to change the skins on a site like this. BD should be tied into the new skin somehow if Charity does agree to changing the skin.
Anyways not agruing with you guys but I like this skin

Thank you Jasper. For those of you who are not familiar with coding and skinning to this degree, it would take forever to create all the graphics and then actually go in and change them...
I like this skin too.

I love this skin. It's pretty, but sometimes it gets a bit old. I completely understand the amount of time it takes to change all the graphics and what not. But maybe after we're finished with Breaking Dawn we could change it?

If you want and if its make it easier Ive skinned sites before i could write all the codes and make colors (i'd keep the ones we have now just change them around a bit) sooo yea... ill make a test bored or two and show you an option Like stated before. I COMOPLETELY UNDERSTAND ROSE'S THOUGHTS and heyy if this idea doesnt fly with char its fine with me this skin is great. its just getting a little oldish. ;D

Woohoo. New idea. How about we keep the skin the same, but make another skin. People can go to their profile and pick which skin they prefer.

The only thing that some of you might be mad at me about is that I'm making this the only skin. I'm doing this because then I can throw in codes and things that make the site look cooler that wouldn't match any other skins. She was a smart cookie when she said that coding and everything for one skin would be simplar. with two skins anytime you change the coding or pictures or add a new code for one you would have do to it to the other as well.
