    I'm looking for a nice skin for my ipb forum, I wouldn't mind a free one for now, but I'll consider a paid skin if it's real nice.

    I've been gathering a list of ipb skinning sites here, but really haven't had time to check them out.

    I like a modern clean look that I can, or is already optimized for SEO.

    Thanks for the help
    -Brandon

    ps.. I'd like it to work with my logo as well, I have the PSD's but would rather not change the colors... (same icon as my current avatar on AA)

    I grabbed a skin from IBSkin for one of my sites. It was so close to the vB style I had used on the site, I couldn't pass it by.

    the background is clear, but I guess it shows as white here.

    This one is nice, going with the gray feel of the one you posted, and it's free. I have it installed and it's well done.

    I'm in the process of transfering my stuff back to IPB. I'll really try to keep an eye out for your colors.

    Your welcome!

    It's really easy to install, go to
    Look/Feel
    Import/Export on the left menu
    Browse and select the .xml file, upload
    Browse and select the image.xml file, then select the skin, upload
    Manage Skins
    Go to skin and Edit settings, I like to remove the import comment and you can select a different smiley set up if you have one and if you want users to see it or not. You can also click on the binoculars to make it shown to users.

    It really is so simple!

    This is a pretty nice one! :)

    I might have to use this one on a future IPB license ;)
