can we get a poll happening?

zaim · Mar 5, 2007, 12:26 PM

just curious..... can we get a poll somewhere which asks which DH theme we're using?

i'm kinda curious to know which is the most popular

GutterPunk · Mar 5, 2007, 12:54 PM

I remember when we rolled out a bunch of themes, we ran this poll. To help you out Zaim, I'm using crimson heaven

We've had a few over time, just pop into the off-topic and make one if you wish.

Last I remember Midnight was the most popular, followed by the default, and then a handful of people use the others

I use SkyHeaven. I like it much better than any other option.

I'm glad that you guys offer skins, cause otherwise I don't know if my old eyes could handle it.

I found the default takes about 5x longer to load than the others. I used it for awhile, and just got sick of the load times. Even on my work comuter which is 15Mb up 15Mb down.

I have in-line graphics turned off so it only shows a link to the file instead of the actual pic - it speeds things up nicely.

I have the Avatars and the Signatures disabled, that saves me from downloading and viewing tons of *cough*stupid*cough* pictures

And I'm using the MidnightHeaven skin.

~~DudeBoyz~~ · Mar 5, 2007, 02:10 PM

Yep - I have Avatars turned off to.

Sure do. Just don't want the slowdown though.

I'm with SkyHeaven, since I prefer a light theme with VBB standard icons. You'll find me on Subsilver, on Phpbb forums.

One other thing, I've run cachability tests against DH, and while not entirely conclusive, it seems the cachability of the graphic elements is poor - if they were more cachable, then load times after the first use of any theme would be improved, and server load would be reduced.

cyborg heaven for me.

Midnight Heaven is my ONLY choice.

Sandok · Mar 6, 2007, 01:27 PM
