Multiple styles?

[shadowslight]

Hey everyone

I was wondering what your take might be on having a number of various styles for your board. On my site i have probably a dozen of different choices a user can choose from.

Do you think it is bad to have more than one style? Discuss!

A properly designed theme is how your 'brand' is looking online. Just as you don't see Nike have 5 logos, the same with a forum: you have a GOOD theme, that was created especially for your forums and it's professional and original, so you don't need more than one. Better have one excellent theme than 20 bad ones

This whas kind of hwat I was thinking. I used to get complaints about how the board should have more choices, so I implemented this as such. But when i view the stats in the ACP, well... not a whole lot gets used

I think one light and one dark theme go a long way compared to just one theme. People have their own preferences, I do agree with Dojo that strengthening your brand is very important, but let's say you have a light colored theme and someone doesn't care for it. A darker theme as a back up that looks similar but a different color scheme would be nice for them and several other members. A forum is about having a nice community and thriving, appealing to both preferences is the way to go.

I have recently changed my style list to 6. The two defaults and then 4 user picked styles.
