This is for IF forums! Well you're new to Invisionfree(IF), You register and get a board.
Incase here is mine test Board: http://s14.invisionfree.com/PKM/index.php?act=idx

See it got a default skin in mine opinion i like the skin but most people hate it.
Well you started your forum like i did but you got topics and forums ect,
Now we need a other skin hmm how do we choose a skin?

First find a skin that fit with the theme:
  • Gaming --> Dark skin
  • RPG --> Dark Skin
  • Computer forum --> Light skin
  • Like This forum --> Light skin
  • Anime --> Light or dark

The best is to create your own skin with buttons and markers but most people can't make own skins.
Oke i got the theme Graphics i found a dark skin! Look here:

http://s13.invisionfree.com/PixelsDe...ex.php?act=idx

See i got a dark skin isn't it much better than the default one? But when you found a skin like here: http://s14.invisionfree.com/mineowns...ex.php?act=idx

You still need markers and buttons, and when you found a skin but not buttons and markers you got a problem! So find a skin like i did with markers and buttons.

Markers: http://s13.invisionfree.com/PixelsDe...ex.php?act=idx
Buttons: http://s13.invisionfree.com/PixelsDe...p?showforum=13

See thats much better. If you're looking for a skin always try find a skin with buttons and markers not a solo skin. And look for a normal calming skin. And never use overused skins people will hate the skins when many people use it.

Well I hope it helped some people.
Good luck with it.

A little hard to understand. The coherancy could be better. That's half the article, you know..

I pretty much get the whole message of the article, and that is solid. It's all right. I'll give you a 3 on this one. Aim for some improvements on article construction.
