Hey guys, here's a sneak peek at my newest project. There is one member and maybe 5 posts but you can get a general idea of the effect I'm going for. http://www.x-industries.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi I wanted a totally unique UBB and I think I'm on the right track. Only the summary page has a semi finished look to it and the colors and graphics aren't set.

Nice work XperT! I really like the colors and the header images. As Tacks said, please keep us posted.

I stumbled on a little trick that is going to make my life a lot easier in UBB terms. All I need to do now is figure out what I'm going to use that site for.

I will as soon as I get it all worked out. I had a hard time getting the graphics to wrap around the tables like that. Now to make it controlled by the style template.

Very nice! Reminds me of a combo between QNX and Whistler. I can't wait to see what it looks like finished!

Very nice work XPerT, looks terrific. But maybe use alternate column colors?

The colors aren't set yet, I'm building the structure first then I'll decide on the colors and final graphics...

Forum Summary: I don't like top boxes, they just take too much room while they could've taken only 2 lines; instead of "Check PM's in your profile", you could just add the pm hack, made by jordo. I don't like this 'R' at the bottom, maybe you should do what flare did - "You last visited: XXXXXXXXXXXXX [mark all read]". Also, the icon legend box has en empty cell at the right. Topic Page: This "profile|edit|quote|message|email" thing should NEVER be in the right cell - it takes lots of space from the message body while near "posted April........." there is an empty space. You should take advantage of all empty space, and leave as much width as possible for the message body.. Anything I didn't mention is either nice or too small for me to see.

Great comments...thanks, I have a long way to go with that site obviously. It's more a testing ground that happens to be licensed so I'd like to eventually make it a production site.

Looking awesome! Basically, I would use a header instead of a table at the top. Like LK mentioned, the icon legend has a empty cell to the right. But I kinda like the "R" button.

There are some graphics built for the header already. I probably opened it for viewing too early but I was in need of some ideas. To tell you the truth, the template structure is nearly stock "JC" but I wanted to get the Tables wrapped in gfx. That's why the board has one member and 6 posts. I do plan on using it in production though.
Edit: it just got a hell of a facelift....I may have to make this modular and make the UBB skinnable like winamp..

I agree, I think the way UBB handles is better I don't like all this wasted space above the post
Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?

It's being changed daily. I think I found the colors I want to use so now it's back to template hacking. bit by bit.
