#1 LibArc's Grand Upgrade (2011 Edition)

It's been awhile since I've played around with the website design, and I'm starting to get the itch again....

Not only that, but some of you have been asking about certain features not found on LibArc's forum software, that's become common place elsewhere on the web....

As such, it has come time for us to modernize. And thus, my loyal serv...erm, citizens, I give you....the next evolution of Librium Arcana....

A complete update to the most modern version of phpBB available on the web, and deletion of out-modded, unused content (this is mostly on the admin and web server side, most of you will never realize anything's happened on that end). We will be able to attach images, embed videos, the whole lot. Ain't that spiffy.

Now, this can't be done alone, so I require help from the lot of you. By default, phpBB only comes with One (1) look - subSilver. Since I'm all about giving you what you all want, I want your input on what VISUAL STYLES we should incorporate into the fresh install. As such, I want you all to go here and select your favorite style, and POST IT HERE. It could be the name, or the link to it.

This will be open for three days (until October 4), at which point, I'll collect the assorted suggestions, and make a poll. The top three in votes, gets added to the Style Database for the new forum site.


Remember, this is your chance to add to LibArc! Act now, don't delay!.

Respond below!

This is why you should look through the list and make your own damn suggestions!

Or, you know..if you find another site that has a phpBB3 theme that you like for download...

For a Marine, you take instruction lousy sir.

There is only one god, and BlackSoul is his prophet.

Issue being I can't find a copy of BlackSoul updated for phpBB3. Which means I have to smash together a look-a-like. I think SDnet did that themselves when they swapped over. Maybe if I asked Dalton nicely...he might be so kind as to send me their theme in a zip.....

Poll will go up tomorrow, to chose the forum styles that'll go on the new install.

The three styles that WILL be there are: subsilver2, SubBlack2, and BlackSoulish (hacked together BlackSoul)
