~New Idea~

If you code your website, from the ground up, you can do everything. (That can be done in coding)

Yes, but given how limited this forum already is, that may not be as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Exactly. Coding isn't easy at all. Tried it once: Never going back.

I actually love coding. It's just a long process.

I never said it was easy. Whoa. I just said it's possible if you code FROM THE GROUND UP. Which this site hasn't done.

Yes, as Dion, SR, and Spartica have said, it would be very difficult for me to do that for specific sections since its not a feature included in the forum software (and there aren't any modifications out there to do it). It would be possible to do it by create a handle that overrides the default forum skin, but I would have to know a lot more PHP to be able to write code like that

I can however, easily make section-specific banners, add new 'banner' locations for specific sections, and add new skin options to the site.

If anyone wants a copy of our layout (like SR said, ProSilver SE), I can send you a copy of the code. So basically, you can make your own skins (but it would be like that for all sections you visit, not just a group's section). This would only be useful if you have some coding knowledge though (mainly CSS & a little HTML).

If you guys want, I can make some different color schemes with the layout (that would be pretty simple for me to do if you can give me some specific color scheme suggestions).

This is a good idea though, making group sections more personalized.
If anyone has some specific ideas to personalize their group section, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Maybe make a topic about it in Site Stuff, so others can see your ideas, and I'll reply.
As far as the 'banner locations' go, you can get pretty creative with it. I can insert the code pretty much anywhere, and make it section specific. It can also be text or code instead of an image/banner. I haven't really done this yet though, so it would be a little experimental/might not work

How about, when you join a group, you get a special skin for that group that displays in every section?

I like it.

Can I haz code please?

But also, you need to be careful about changing the colors of the layout, since the banners are made specifically for that grey background.

[Spars]

How about we make a skin for every group, wigh a banner, (doesn't rotate. just one made for that skin.) and you can change your skin in the UCP to your group's theme.
