We're pleased to announce that Skinground has begun the process of merging with Skinbox. This decision was made so that we can combine two of the leading Invision Power Board skinning websites resulting in a much broader range of skin choices and provide the best support/resources as possible.

Our goal is to eventually re-release all of the Skinground IP.Board 3 skins on Skinbox. We are going to be making huge updates to current Skinground skins in all areas.

Please note that all current Skinground customers will have access to their past purchases over at Skinbox. We’ve also developed an “Account Merge” procedure so that you can transfer your Skinground account into a Skinbox account rather than having to re-register.

If you’re a current customer at Skinground or simply a registered member, you will be able to transfer your account very easily with our special tool.
Once this process is complete, you will be able to download your past purchases in your download box. Skin updates for current Skinground customers will also be free.

We'd also like to take this opportunity to welcome Tom as he is now part of the Skinbox staff. Tom will be making skins, providing support, write tutorials, etc.

Thank you.

Well, one thing I'm sure of is that there will be more IPB and vBulletin skins.

How long will it take to for the accounts to be transferred over, as well as the skins. Don't need an exact time frame, but I'd like to know if it is going to be days, weeks, or months

[Olivier Turbis]

You can now transfer your account by going here. The skins will be released soon.

Already went there when the announcement first came out, or should I do it again since it was updated? Also, Should I be asking for support here, or on skinground still? And will I receive any notification letting me know that my account has been merged?

[Olivier Turbis]

Please try again as the first version of the tool wasn't 100% functional. You should ask for support on Skinground until your skin has been publicly released here. Thank you!

[Stryker]

question about the merging.

Since the skins are slowly being released here, do I need to use the account merger every single time the skin here is released so I can get access to it?

[Olivier Turbis]

No, you only have to use it one time.

[Kelyeti]

The wait was killing me and thanks to your partnership with Skin Ground I have just brought a Skin from them, looking forward to when your Skins are updated. I will still buy from here but I am guessing the task ahead is holding things up some what!

I will be back soon...

[BrandonT]

Sounds like a great business decision. Best of luck to both of you!

[Tom Christian]

Thanks very much Brandon!

[Olivier Turbis]

The summer is not over at all, we're still in the first half.

Well, I finally decided just to register here, as apparently the freaking Merger tool hates my entire account (And I very much hate the merger tool by this point). I'm High Arch Lord Nowe from Skinground, and I can prove it too...

[Sebastien Penet]

Yes it behaves strangely and I don't understand why.

We may have a look at it once I have time, but don't worry we will give you your purchases when it's time.

Well Im considering summer over when uni starts lol xD

[ørret]

So it's summer still? It's snowing here. What happened?
