How can that NOT be a copy/paste?

Maybe if it was generated by a program, the same program Guido used, but I still doubt it would be that similar.

I would have to agree with WDZ there.. The skin (especially the CSS) looks more copied than inspired.

Its amazing that EVEN the lists are styled exactly the same using the exact same CSS to apply them for an inspired design.

On the bright side, it could be worse.  A n00b friend of mine not only copied the headers of one of my sites with a few colour changes, but they also copied the meta keywords/description that was in it

I don't think you can claim the design to gradiented table backgrounds, but copying stuff direct is a different matter.  Does look kinda lame now, admitting that at the bottom of the page as well.

i will talk to martini about it. i left all the css up to him.

They didn't do gradiented table backgrounds, they copied the bg files! And I didn't invent gradients originally anyway, just made an effect with them...

It wasn't generated by a program, I hand coded it.

Yeah... i only just noticed how identical the bottom was... you don't imitate that so closely by inspiration lol they're bloody identical (minus the plus logo )

I also had a look at the CSS and look   The third one is the standard mybb stylesheet for comparison (called untitled because mybb doesn't use a stylesheet file)

could just be that you are both using mybboards


maybe thats a shot in the dark

Thats part of it but the style id's such as #copyright asd well as the general parts of the CVSS are exactly the same.. Conincidence or not? o_O

i have had a talk to martini about his sources for the css .. atm the footer is being remade and the css is being hand coded from scratch

im sorry for any in convenience martini and i have put anybody through.

Did you look at the two css sheets compared to the mybb one?
