I am realy quit satisfied with ubb.threads itself. Just the stock design does not meet the higher standards from some other community softwares.
If you take phpbb 3 for example: Has 2 included styles that look great. The same goes for vbullitin.
The style or template does not have to be user-selectable, as long as the board admin is able to choose from some (good and nice) stock styles/tenplates that he can (color) modify to his liking.
@Gizmo, I tried finding the styles you mentioned, but no luck.
I checked your homepage and your forum though. No offence, but your forum looks like any other ubb.threads forum with just some colors changed.
This design can not be compared to any of the examples I put in my first post. Those designs look a lot more professional.
I can only give a small word of advice for Groepee. Don't try doing this yourself, but hire a professional grapic and template designer.
I just found this ubb.threads forum on the net: www.sat4all.com/forums.
That is a start, but still nothing compared to the designs from my first post.
