VB users question about skins

**momdom** · 02-06-2008, 02:38 PM

How many do you let your members choose from?

Is it better to just allow one or two? Or many?

Pros and cons of each way

Well on my site, we only have the one. I chose this way because it's more uniform and professional looking. Also, it makes it much easier to watch over for broken images, links, etc.

Yeah I am considering doing this too, I want a real clean professional look but the members love to be able to choose.

I don't think it hurts having the same forum skin but maybe in 2/3 different colour schemes, so you can give users a little customisation while still keeping one image.
I usually leave the default vBulletin skin as an option too, but aside from that just the one skin (possibly in multiple colours)

I currently have four skins for members to choose from

I currently only have one, for reasons such as the time it takes to change the logo and everything to make it match.

If I was to have more, then I would probably just add different coloured version of my current skin.
