Wouldn't it be nice if the members could hand pick one of the available style templates to appear on all the forum pages? That way the forum would look pleasing to everyone.

Has anyone already created a hack like this or is anybody currently working on it?

I wouldn't know. But this is a pretty good idea.

I believe this was created for v5, but I'm not sure if anyone is working on it for UBB 6...

it would take so much modification on v6 that i doubt anyone would be willing to do it. you would need a different cache for each different template, so you would have to have a badass server to even pull that off imo.

I have been attempting to make UBB do this for quite some time, and all attempts have resulted in failure to various degrees. My lack of knowledge in perl has been a big hinderance, but I'm starting to actually learn perl now, so hopefully I will be able to move forward a little farther.

As jordo said, and as I've been told before, doing this would basically kill UBB's caching system. It would be fine if you're on a small board or a monster server, because you could just turn the cache off and call it good. But if you're on a board of any decent size and/or if you don't have the best server in the world, it may not be such a good idea because of the sheer processing power required to build every page for every access.

If I ever come up with something that works, I will probably post it here (if I don't go on one of my exclusivity trips again ;)). But don't expect it any time soon.
