Hapy Birthday ??? I only just got here ! :D
Thanks again guys . Been delayed on the vb 3.0.1 upgrade but as soon as I've got that out the way I think I'll launch a logo competition. I'd like to keep the black/grey/orange colour scheme though so bear that in mind if you're going to have a go. Please don't post any (more) logo suggestions on this thread - lets wait for the proper thread which I'll start as soon as I'm ready btw, the reason for keeping the colour scheme is (amongst other things) because editing the forum styles and buttons to fit a new scheme is a right PITA (and the main reason I haven't upgraded to vb3.0.1 yet). Michael.
I've just had a quick play with 'Crystal Button' (www.crystalbutton.com) and it looks pretty simple and quick to make some decent buttons. The examples are all a bit flashy for my taste, but it can do some classy minimal ones with very little effort – I plan to make a full set prior to taking pfm to v3. I still can't quite grasp why vBulletin themselves don't offer alternatives as the stock ones are truly puke inducing, too big and incredibly badly done. I'm going to loose the icon / picture aspect of the buttons completely and just go with a very minimal text based look. Tony.
Fortunately, someone on www.vbulletintemplates.com has gone to the effort of creating a vb3 style (with buttons) that makes it look just like vb2 - with allowances for the new features of vb3 of course. I'm going to use it with my existing vb2 buttons so it should be pretty straightforward. Michael.
