Pertition: Allowing Users to Change the Skin of the New Jolt Nationstates Forums

OK, I dont really want to start trouble, and im not complaining or anything, but I thought this could be an idea if we could get something done. Im not even sure if you guys have controls over things like these, if not, then maybe you could direct some Jolt Admins to this page. Anyhow, im gonna just give it a shot, like it or leave it.

Basically, it is my personal view that the quality of nationstates has slipped ever since we adopted the current skin look for the new Jolt forums.

Now dont get me wrong, I think Jolt is great, but imagine if each user had the option to choose what skin they could view the forums in, instead of being stuck with the current skin, which I would define as simply, UGLY.

It wouldnt affect nationstates teams, it wouldnt affect any kind of technical stuff that happens behind the scenes. The only thing that would change, would be that each user could simply get better visual enjoyment from the look of the forums, instead of cringing everytime a user logs on.

Like I said, im not sure if the ns team has control over this, but if not, could you please alert a Jolt admin so they can make this SIMPLE change. I have started a pertition, so if you believe in this, and agree with me, then just vote as SIGNED.

Thanks.

Yeah, it would be nice if these forums didn't override your skin choice.

Aye, the skin sucks, but so do Jolt's other ones.

The other skins are either depressing or have weird banners at the top, IMO.

Would it be possible to create font and banner color options though? Like I choose the gray bar to be x color, and my font to be y color. Or is that too much customization for Jolt?

Aye, like a dynamic stylesheet creator of some kind?
