pmwwwgtalkvForum | | vForums Skin Competition (3 Extra Days!) (13th Jan 08 at 11:40am UTC) | | Now that we have the details for this competition sorted out I thought it'd be a good idea to put up a new announcement with everything in one place.
What is this?
This competition is a chance for designers, coders and forum creators to show us what they can do by creating a skin for use by all new vForums.
Who can enter?
Anyone is welcome to enter. You can either enter as an individual or as a team.
Maximum Entries
No user should be involved in more than 3 entries. The only exceptions to this are any coders filling requests in the coding boards who may provide codes to as many skins as they want, provided this is their only involvement with the skin.
Deadline
All skins you wish to enter into the competition should be PMed to me (Ross) by 8:00pm GMT on the 14th 17th of February. Unfortunately entries entered after this time will not be accepted. In addition to this, no further modifications may be made to the skin after this time.
How to Enter
The skin you wish to submit should be placed onto a test forum where there is no identification as to who the forum is owned by. This includes no "copyright" messages, not having your name in the forums URL and not having the images hosted on an account with your name in the URL.
Once you have done all this, the URL to that forum should be PMed to me with the words "Skin Competition Entry" in the subject.
If your skin is selected as one of the winners you will be asked to provide the following:
- A blank banner (no forum name on it)
- A blank menu button (split into 3 sections: left, middle & right)
- A zip file containing all images used (optional)
Requirements
- All coding must work in the following browsers: IE6, IE7, Fx2 and Opera 9
- Forum should not lag when on slower Internet connections/computers
- You must not reveal to anyone outside of your "team" which entry belongs to you.
Voting
All voting will be done via a poll here on vForums Support. Depending on the number of entries received, this will most likely be done as two polls, each lasting a week with the forums who received the lowest votes being eliminated after the first poll.
Prizes
The top 3 skins will be made available to all new and current forums.
In addition to this, the winner (or winning team) will be given custom titles and 4 ad-free credits.
If anyone has any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to ask.
- vForums Staff

pmskypemsnyahoo | | Re: vForums Skin Competition (13th Jan 08 at 10:10pm UTC) | | I won't be entering, but I am happy to upload images to my site keeping them anonymous. (PM me or email me a zip file) I'll unzip them all and upload to a /skinname/ directory or something random like /0315/ or /notross/ =P.
But seriously. I'll keep them anonymous,and my load times are pretty fast with BigWetFish. ^_^ | |

pmvForum | | Re: vForums Skin Competition (13th Jan 08 at 10:22pm UTC) | | ^ only problem with that is that you'll know who is which skin
If anything I'll do it, or they can just use good old fashioned Tinypic/photobucket.

Yeah, but I'm a 3rd party source, and not entering as I have no graphical skill. Only skill of content. And that test password I gave Ross for my test site is actually my main password  
I don't care though. Up to user will keep it up as long as they want | |
