I used to be hosted by Invision. It is a good starting website if you don't need a whole lot. I don't think IPB's focus is hosting, but as an extra service to their customers. Its also a great way to have your first website and be able to test the ipb board, but it had its limitations as those boards were encoded so a lot of third party addons did not work with it at the time.

Every time I want to come back, I found that I really can't as I have outgrown their hosting.
They used to have webservers showing on their website, but I don't see that either.
Wish they would have reseller accounts (ones with multiple cpanels).

Thank you. :)
Just let me know if you have any problems with it. I try to fix the problems if I can.

1.0.1 Release Notes:
Fixed some minor skin flaws.

1.0 Release Notes:

First of all, I took my time with this skin to produce a quality product. It did take longer than expected, but at least you should be getting a quality product.

First of all, this is 100% Mozilla compatible. Internet Explorer is not 100%. Not even IPB managed that, but I did make some of the forums with rounded headers that use images. Not all of them are though.

This was tested with Gallery, Downloads, and IP.Content. Sorry, ip.blog is not included. I also had tested this with ip.shout and ip.tracker. This should be compatible with them.

This skin is a simple modification of the original IPB skin. I didn't want to do too much on the very first skin, but you get the light and dark feeling with this skin. This will be my framework for up and coming skins I create though.

In the past, I have made the header with the skin name. This time around, that is not the case. In order to match the header background, I made the header black.

How to install:
Installation is not to hard to do.

In the admin panel of your board, go to the look and feel tab and then go to import/export.
Click the export tab.
In the skin set section upload the skin file.
In the image section, upload the image file.

One comment I wish to make after reading the forwarded url to the topic. Most of you have placed a price tag of an additional fee of $20 extra. There is no benefit if this happens to a Perpetual as they will be paying the same as a Standard. More like $5 for extra sevices would be a benefit for those of us that have and paid extra for such licenses.

I saw this not that long ago. Don't care for it.

I am in total agreement with everyone else here whom has a perpetual license or lifetime license here. I have both the perpetual and the standard just for the record.

If I really wanted this on my board, I can't get because I not willing to transfer my perpetual to a standard for the mere fact that I would lose out in the benefits of the perpetual license has to offer. More specifically, I am not willing to give up on the free upgrades regardless of if I renew support or not with that license.

In order to get the extra features, we should pay an extra $20 a year without having to change the structure of our license.
