I would say it's much more of Ehren coming here to defend their name for being called out by them, rather than coming here to bash them.

Olivier is the only one who skins. I am an interactive developer. That means I am taking care of Javascript and PHP involved in our skins.

We also have other skinners for custom services, but our premade skins are done by Olivier only, in terms of CSS & HTML. Sometimes I help him debug them, though. :)


The people at Skinbox offer great support for sure. Sebastien Penet was helping me debug a JS issue with their skin and something else we were doing. They could just have easily told me good luck, but he was trying to help. We are waiting until the 3.2 skin releases, then will see if the issues remain and go from there.

Other skin providers do have some skins I like, and wold love to look at however, Skinbox has treated us so well its hard to desire the switch. Skinbox skins are far more complex than people realize, and as a result of the way they code their stuff, is quite modular as well. There is a nice tutorial area that people share things they have done to their skins. I only have made one thing into the skin area, although I am hoping with the 3.2 release, I will spend some more time documenting changes we make to add some tutorials, as I am sure some people would like some of the things we have done.

Keep up the good work all :)

I do happen to have 1 request.

IPB has removed the Avatars from IPB and locked them at these super tiny little square images. Do you think it's possible you can hack back in Avatar support?

On my dev tinkering with it, I managed with : <img src='{$author['pp_main_photo']}' class='ipsUserPhoto ipsUserPhoto_large' /> but it caused some CSS issues with their default skin I haven't bothered to tinker with, was only trying to see if it was possible.

Using this allowed linking of the full size image people can use for their new picture.

Would really like if you had in the possibility to switch between the two in some fashion, as removing avatars without making Photos have the functionality of Avatars was not the smartest move I have ever seen Invision make.

Perhaps, but it sure can expedite the process ;)

Where can we offer bribes to get our skins done first? ;)
