Has some-one pinched your forum design...?

[frichieb]

Hi there, iv'e just been rooting around on the internet and I came across a web site with exactly the same design and layout of this site and I was wondering if some-one has nicked your designs etc...
The web site I'm on about has nothing to do with sugargliders.
Heres the web address:www.VMesquita.com.

Take care, from Richard.

I think it's more the type of forum design that a forum can then customize to some extent. Fixx is our technical genius here and he can explain it sooooo much better than I.

Thanks for taking care of us!!

I am not the admin here, but being the admin on a few forums and sites I can almost guarantee this is an open source (free) template that was modified with custom graphics and color tones.  Since it's free and open source, many boards using the same software will have similar layouts.

Yes forums do look quite similar, livefoods for example has the same layout as GA, and DNS has the same layout as RC. This forum has the same layout as another forums I use that I cannot post here  .

The templates are used and changed for the spacific forums use, such as logos etc.

Edit: Sorry

GA= gliders anon
RC= reptile crazy
DNS= DNS exotics

Livefoods better not have my layout LOL... I custom created mine MYSELF from scratch... well the default one I did.  The others I have are free templates I've modified.

Yeah its the same layout looks like it came from the same template (invision boards, especially so with the blue skin)

[TMarie]

yeah the blue one is their default one you get with the software... ICK... took me a few hours to customize the ga one.. it's based on their skin but NOT a free template.  but ok enough about that.. i've said my peace LOL... im bored today ill go pick on someone else now HAHA
