    I have just put up the Mars Skin on the forums, and you can choose it by scrolling to the bottom of any forum page and choosing it from the drop down box at the bottom. I like the Mars skin better than the Mercury one, so I would suggest trying it out yourself. I will be updating the Mercury skin with a running Mia sprite like in the Mars skin, but that may not come until tomorrow.

    Venus and Jupiter are still in the works. I probably will not release the final versions until next week, but I should have the old Venus skin available in the next few days.

        Nice looking skin. I do like it better than the Mercury one. Although I like both and may end up switching between the two.

                A Little better than the mercury.

                      I personaly like the venus one the best. Its classic and it had the most time spent on it by far in my opinion, no offense max.

                          Yay, a nice red skin that doesnt loom too pink. I'm using this. Horrible default IPB skin (Mercury) isn't great.

                          EDIT: I don't think Max made this skin, he just edited an existing one. At the bottom of the page for the Mars skin (above "Powered by..") it says: "Default Red, Skin by priestx"

                          Are you actually doing any of the skins from scratch Max?

                            I like the mars skin. Great job, but i still think that the venus skin was best.

                                  To answer the questions above, not, I did not create the skins from scratch myself. As Andross pointed out, the Mercury skin is the Default IPB skin with some small modifications, and this one is a red version of the default skin with the same changes. I will be doing alot more work to customize them in the coming week or two, but I felt it was important to get them out ASAP, because the Venus skin we were using was seriously flawed after the upgrade.

                                    Do you know why the Venus Skin suddenly got flawed? =S
                                    Kind of strange that it happened... <_<

                                      The update to IPB 2.0 messed up the current forum settings (in terms of the skin). I imagine locations and things like that weren't the same.

                                      Max had to make a new one.

                                          Yeah so Iam wondering if Me a member can change the skin to my choosing? I might have missed what you all may have put up but I believe that the answer was yes. Correct me if I am wrong.

                                            Yes, at the bottom of the screen there is a box call "Skin chooser" that is where you choose the skin you want, you can change it whenever you want!

                                              Awesome Max. Much MUCH better. Next time you change, let's use Jupiter. Not that you should change it anytime soon.

                                                Alex, as soon as Jupiter comes (very soon, along with Venus) you will be able to choose it, along with the ones you can choose from now: Mercury, and Mars

                                                  I think there is a site where you can make you're own skin. Erm...yeah.

                                                          LOL, looks like Max got a bit lazy and only changed a few things :smile:
                                                          The skin was made by priestx (probably something from Invisionize), save for the Jenna sprites and forum header.

                                                            Actually Andross, it's not me being lazy, it's me being efficient. If I took the time to make them myself, it would take a very long time, and I needed them ASAP. I am working on the new graphic sets for each skin, so please be patient.

                                                              ^.^ Alright then Max, we shall wait till you get a new skin up and ready. Take your time, dont rush it, otherwise you might mess up. (Not in a bad way)

                                                                I agree wholeheartly with Max on not being lazy, it takes a long time to do a skin and do it well, thumbs up to Max for finding the mars one. I don't think new graphics are in dire need though.
