You guys say "it would help" but please explain how... what are we missing that we would gain from the default templates!?

I have looked over vbulletin's own bulletin board which uses the default templates almost to a tee (with design changes) and the only thing I see different is that they have board stats (newest member, number of posts, etc) which isn't a huge deal in my own eyes.

We won't know if going back to the default templates or not will work unless we try it. If we're lucky, it could have super positive affects. Don't know what I'm talking about? Take a look at my boards (see signature) - they use the basic templates, except we've obviously changed the header, footer, and colors. It would help a lot...

Actually there are a lot of things left now that aren't in the default templates.

I'm not trying to be mean, rude or nasty but I really think that it would help TWF a lot.

Yeah, as soon as we get a new design out, I'm gonna see what I can do to get things back to the way they were before JP started letting things go.

We'll get there.

yeah I think going back to the default templates wouldn't help anything.

I see the links are back up, that's pretty good. I think it'll be hard for TWF to make it back up to where it was. I just don't find alot of users referring people here. I notice people referring to Site Point / Geekvillage / GetHighForums.

I hope we can get it back up there though to a place where you can get answers quick in all forums.

Matt,

Why do you want the default templates? They aren't needed! At this point in time, we are not missing anything that they have.

Someone is working on a design for us and as soon as that is complete, I will be converting everything over.

Matt Kaufman — Tue, 09 Jan 2001 15:55:02 +0000

Can we please change back to the DEFAULT templates? It's easy, I could do it in 5 minutes if you needed me to..

Ever since we changed the templates not as many people have been posting.

We need one for Members, Search, Profile, Logout, Register, FAQ, and some others. Can't remember off the top of my head.

Chad,

You need to put the login back at the bottom of the page so people can login. If I get logged out the only way I can log back in is by posting.

Does anyone have good examples of what you have in mind? I feel really dumb saying this, but I really don't see why the lack of "design" is such a huge problem. Well, at least I myself never noticed any kind of problems after the links disappeared.

I could try to put something together - are we keeping the current header or no? Can someone post a list of links that we'll need to have? I never really looked at all the ones that used to be there.

Well, now that Justin has stated he isn't able to work on TWF, someone needs to take charge and get a design done. Personally, I'm not a designer, nor do I have the time for it, so you can eliminate me.
