Save up some space with this dual-column category skin. Your categories can now be put as "blocks" and displayed in a nice two columns way. This table-less sidebar fluid skin is perfect for any kind of community. You do not have any source file edit to do, everything is skin-specific. Install and enjoy! The skin is also made so you can change the colors very easily.

Is there anyway of using gallery on this skin ?
The skin logs me out everytime i refresh the page for some reason. Also logs me out and back in everytime i goto a different section of the board, eg downloads , gallery .
Other than that its a real nice skin , good job

Hi, can this work with the shoutbox and those 'blank box' hook?
Are those side bar hooks going to appear on the left side now?

Thanks.

Surface removes the sidebar, so no it won't support any of those sorts of things (I have it installed on my live forum - already). Can't answer for Shoutbox, I don't use that type of thing.

hmm..kinda of wasted as I need those hooks on the side bar. :(

It works fine for shoutbox, i have it installed , but the gallery pictures get posted twice , in the left and right side.
Also Ng30 ads system doesnt work on this skin .
Is anyone else having issues with this skin logging you in and out whenever you refresh or goto a different part of the board ?

I had the same request with the sidebar. Oliver wrote a tutorial to remove ist and it works fine with it.

This doesn't seem to be a skin issue. It's just a skin, I don't see any reason why it would log you off. :)

That skin looks beyond amazing.

You can put it back: [url="http://www.skinbox.net/community/tutorials/article/67-surface-put-the-ipb-sidebar-hooks-back/"]http://www.skinbox.n...bar-hooks-back/[/url] :)

If put it back, will it be on the left or right?
Or is it able to merge it all to the left side?

Sorry, the link needs to register to see it hence I never read it.

You have to be a customer in order to access the tutorials.

The sidebar would be on the right side.

No other skins log me out , but for some reason this one does.
Everytime it refreshes or i goto a different section of the board.
I will get my staff to check later then get back to you.
Seems the problem is with a FF addon , lastpass seems to login and out on this skin for some reason

Olivier, you also need the $89/3 month subscription to read it. My mere $59/3 month subscription doesn't allow me to. Do you think you could include the one or two most asked about tutorials in the package, or set up a free category for all purchasers? You know, tips like "put the sidebar back on Surface" or "disable the tooltips on Brilliance".

I think I'll just allow all memberships to view the tutorials. I realize it's not very fair. :)

We have just updated the Surface IP.Board skin and added 2 color variations to it. You can now have your Surface skin in three colors: Blue, green or red. The new package include all the images you will need as well as the very detailed instructions on how to put your favorite color.

If you have already purchased the skin, you can download the new package and access the color variations for free. If you haven't purchased it yet, you can do so here.

Please do.. I bought a 6 month sub and I cant see.. this is really, really not fair. :/ I feel almost cheated.

All Club members will be able to view the tutorials when Skinbox 2.0 is out. And you're not "cheated", you kind of saw what were the advantages or buying the Standard Club Membership before paying. It's not like we are hiding things.

Is there any payment methods aside from paypal?
Thank you very much.

No, unfortunately.

So has this skin been updated for 3.1.1? Anyone using it on his/her website so I can see? :)

Yep - http://www.skinbox.net/skins/ipb-3-1-skins/professional-skins/surface/110
