I have it :love: It's really nice, it actually feels more like christmas and everything.

The annoying thing is that the "new posts" buttons etc. are at the top which I'm not used to, it's like confusing. D:

What are you talking about? The new reply buttons (which I assume that's what you're talking about) are in the same place.

But yeah I like the theme.

I thought the buttons weren't gonna be changed though.

Where they are, like at the top...

"new posts" "who's online" all those..

I used the BB10 theme before, so they were like halfway down the page or something.

[Miss Ivy Balls]

There's a bit too much blue spacing at the sides.

Also, where is the latest posts box to the right?

It isn't there for me.

Thanks.

[Benjamin]

The recent posts box is there for me, and the spacing is fine...

[Stacey.]

Thanks.

If you mean on the homepage, then don't set it on wide

[Miss Ivy Balls]

Oh right. That will be why then.

Thanks Stacey.

[Marc]

[Niall]

What is the difference between the regular and wide versions btw??

[Jordan.]

Wide Version doesn't show the 'Latest Threads' down the right. :)

[Jords]

Wide you dont get the 'Latest Threads' bit along the side.

[Niall]

Wide you dont get the 'Latest Threads' bit along the side.

Oh. I never look at that anyways lmao :p

[Lee.]

[Matt]

Ahh thanks very much guys :D it looks a lot better finished

[Stacey.]

*dies at the snowman*

[Malza]

No offence, but I am glad we can also stick to the normal skin, I just like it much more than the christmas one :p

[Vicky.]

[Stacey.]

Matt your skin is the sex :love:

:shocked:

[Niall]

Oh well.

[Patrick]

OH MY GOD!

I was just thinking,

'How amazing would it be if TiBB had the new theme up now as it's such amazing snow outside right now it would just be amazing'

And now it's here.


Admins/Mods thank you for putting it up so quickly.

And Matt,

THANK YOU!

It's stunning, really is epic.

[Iceman]

Loving the xmas Skin :D Props to Matt and James for getting it up quickly....

[Patrick]

*Laughs at the people who are probably still using BB10 Wide*

[MTVN]

I really like it, goood job Matt, finally got me to change from the BB11 one

[Patrick]

I'm actually glad I didn't upload my Skin ideas in the end, I made quite a few and liked them but It would of been a fail compared to this.

[Shaun]

excellent! Thanks Matt for designing it, and Jords for posting how to add it :)

[Boothy]

Wow!

I love it :D

[Jayson]

Can we keep it after Christmas? I like it muchly :love:

Had been using the BB10 theme since we first switched over lol.

[James]

Yeah, I'll probably rename it 'Winter' after Christmas.

You may have noticed that I've just added some updated buttons and thread / PM status icons that Matt has made for the theme. :)

[Boothy]

Was just about the post about the update buttons.

Best theme on the site :D

[GypsyGoth]

:love: Wonderful work Matt.

[Matt]

Thanks James :D I'm really pleased with how it turned out

And thanks again to everyone for the compliments too!

[Judas]

Can we not have another contest to make another theme, because apart from this one all of the others look abit outdated. Also the homepage needs a huge overhaul. Why are there still only the original BB11 housemates up? Since we have had more BB11 housemates, a UBB series, the end of Big Brother... yet it could well be this summer. The main page would put people off rather that attract them, I think it needs deleting or a huge overhaul.

(I hope this hasn't seemed to critical, it's just how I see it)

[Shaun]

oh my god. the baubles. the baubles, mods. oh my god, the baubles. the baubles, mods, the baubles, my god, the baubles, oh my god.

oh my god.

[Niamh.]

oh my god. the baubles. the baubles, mods. oh my god, the baubles. the baubles, mods, the baubles, my god, the baubles, oh my god.

oh my god.

I Know!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love them!!!!!!

[Smithy]

Yahh, we need a contest every couple months to have a nice new theme :')

[Patrick]

But wouldn't you have to get rid of the 'Merry Christmas' bit and maybe the snowman seeing as he looks abit Chrismassy with the tinsel?

I hope it stays though.

[Patrick]

Yahh, we need a contest every couple months to have a nice new theme :')

*Thinks of MM&I submitting one with Leona's face on it every month*

No but yeah I agree for sure,
We could have one for summer and stuff too.

It's just a shame Big Brother isn't here, he would of loved all this and we could of made some BB themes instead of the ridiculous ones we got during the actual series but oh well.

[Niall]

I've only just noticed the Baubles. Omg they are so cool :shocked:

[Kerry]

Welldone Matt :love:

[Kerry]

LOL sorry, never saw this :blush:

[King Gizzard]

I hadn't seen any of them till now cause I couldn't be bothered and I liked the bb10 one too much (not the ewwy pink one) but this is actually damn good :shocked:

Well done :thumbs:

I don't need to try, it comes naturally. hehe.

You can still vote when you're banned...

If you are banned by an infraction, you can still view the forum (and vote in polls as I believe)

If you are given a straight off ban then you get a 'no permission' screen and can't do anything. :)

Yeah I remember that. :L

Howcome sometimes you get like a straight ban though than keep getting infractions till you actually get banned? :/

[Vicky.]

Sometimes we skip the infractions...

For example, we do not think infractions are working with bettiepage and jessica. So they just get banned when the spamming starts now.

If someone says something particularly offensive, they can get a straight ban. Some mods prefer to just give a big infraction though to knock the person into a ban. Hope that makes sense...

Oh yeah I get it thanks :love:

[James]

I've modified the Xmas theme and called it Winter. You can still select the Xmas theme if you so wish.

[Patrick]

Lovely, Now I can use it again without feeling awkward.

Thanks James.
