It's not that hard and this has been said many times before its not easy to accommodate everyone's needs and wishes, I thought it was easy to do too Root but have never attempted to do anything like it before..
Of course it's not easy to accommodate everyone's needs and wishes.
but that's why I said users can make the style sheets themselves. That way those who put in the work get to have their every little wish catered for. and those who do not put in the work do not. (that's how society should be, those who work are rewarded!)
what I mean is:
Do I (personally) want to change from this blue theme that's now been in use for a decade?
No.
Do other people?
Yes.
Should the admin take hours out of their lives to design a raft of new style sheets for the forum in order to satisfy various users wishes?
If they want to they can, it would be incredibly generous, but they can't be forced to.
should the admin take five minutes to upload a style sheet if a user has spent many hours developing it?
I don't see why not, I'm not saying that the admin *must* ask how high every time a user says jump.
But fundamentally this forum has always tried to listen to users and tried to adapt to the needs of users. without users a forum will die.
Provided that people uploading style sheets are not looking for recompense (money) for their work.
and are happy that they are giving their work to a community of sites. (the forum owner owns a lot of forums)
and thus are happy that their theme that they wrote for computer forums may get used on any one of the forum owners other sites.
Then I think that if people are willing to give up their time, for free, to make using the forums a nicer more personal enjoyment, and are happy that the forum owner can use their work to further all their on line businesses...
then it's almost be rude for the admin to not at least entertain the idea...
don't go writing style sheets just yet though. wait until the admins have come in and made their stance clear.
