Logged in here at school today... Immediately noticed I had been set to Revora Std. Skin by some mysterious force.

Went to change back to IPB default - which is no longer an option.

What's up?

Oh, I hid the IPB default skin. I didn't think anybody was using it. Why would you want to use it?

We don't maintain it, and don't want to, actually. The skins we do maintain have certain benefits for us (ads, integration with the main site, etc.)

What about Rev It 2.2? It was perfect (for me)!

I used it because I like the colors and the way everything was laid out. The simplicity factor. ATM I'm using Petrolution V.2 because it's fairly similar, but I'd still like to have the IPB default back if I could.

Why don't you want to maintain it?

Simple: It's not worth the effort. We have more important things to make and maintain.

I'm also using Petrolution now, because I cannot stand the rest!
Oh well.

Bad news then. Petrolution v2 is also an unmaintained skin, I just forgot to hide it :thumbsupsmiley:
I'll leave it on for now, but no guarantees as to the future. It might be disabled when we upgrade our current skin (which is going to happen soonish)

try cnc3.net GDI skin. It works like a charm and I hear the guy who made it REALLY cares about forums skins. :blink:

Any chance the upgrade will look anything like IPB Std or Petrolution V.2? IMO the Revora Std looks like... well... yeah.

Ok, I've disabled Petrolution v2 and in return enabled IB.Board Pro (the default). That one will then be disabled when we upgrade the real forum skin, I think.

I really preferred the other IPB skin, and Rev It 2.2.

I miss Rev It, and didn't like the abrupt discontinuation. But I'm warming to Revora Main
