I'm sure we can all agree that WebRadiance is an awesome place. It has a spirit and a sense of community like no other forum, which is why we would like to hear any ideas you may have for new WebRadiance features. Any suggestion is welcome.

So please, post your suggestions below!

We would also like to know if anybody would like to work with us in crafting the site. Between the 6 admins, we are equally split into designers and developers, and we find the workload quite daunting at times, which is why we invite you to become a part of WebRadiance.

PM any staff member with your request and we will review it.

You must, of course, have good knowledge of PHP (OOP) and MySQL to apply, as this is the forum's codebase. Design and graphic skills are equally welcomed. If you think you could help in any other way then we'd also like to hear from you.

Thanks!

I'd like to redesign the forum. New skin, new design, and some new positioning.

I have a few projects that I need to complete before I can dedicate time fully to it, however in my 'down' times or when I'd like a break. I'd like to sketch something up and work on some of the graphics.

If I work up the mock up and layout the site (in XHTML) - would one of the admins be able to turn it into the forum skin?

Thanks for your interest! What we're looking to do is to spread the workload and try to move things along, but also to get the community involved. Either one of the admins can turn it into a forum skin, or alternatively another member can volunteer to do that as well. IPB skinning can be a little complicated, but it still won't take anywhere near as long as the actual design and markup.

Also bear in mind that IPB can support multiple skins, so should enough support come forward there's no reason why we can't have more than one skin that members can choose from.

I'd also like to remind everyone that WebRadiance is a non-profit website. We (the admins) don't make any money from the site (in fact it has cost us all slightly so far), so if you're worried about your work going straight to our pockets then don't!
