Do you remember those happy days of yore? You know the ones I'm talking about. Yes you do. Yes you do! Remember them! ...<ahem>... It was a simpler time. A classic time. A... more... pure time. ...for some reason. In fact, pick any favourable adjective and remember that those happy days were more of that. What if you could recapture that classic feeling in your Not MSN Money skin? Well, friends, I'm here to tell you that the wait is over. Revitalize your board reading experience with VSimple, the latest innovation from VirgilCo. VSimple features all the classicky things you love, including: - large serif fonts
- extra spacing and cleaner layout
- big-arse buttons that are also classic for some reason
- a black-on-white motif as tried and true as the Model T
- no embellishments, frills, artificial colours or flavours
- no advanced CSS that causes IE 7 to choke harder than Bush on a peanut
Yes, VSimple is your window back to a purer time. A more honest time. A creamier and more lathery time. And, since I've run out of descriptors on my bottle of Gillette shaving cream, I'll say... a more wholesome time. So whether you're blind and need big fonts, or you use a crummy browser and VirgilCo.'s other dazzling products cause more crashes than at a Nascar derby, VSimple has something for you. Product is sold for the low, low price of $0.00 to registered members in the 'VSimple' aisle of your local skins dropdown list.(Please note that this thread will be merged with the "Too Many Skins" thread sometime tomorrow.)

I had to read that twice. I thought you were doing braille by smell there for a minute. ETA: I blame Later's thread about having gas for this post.

I just "tried it on", and it actually does look quite nice, even in its simplicity. I like the larger buttons & font, which is also "New Times Roman" (kind of classy), and larger buttons. It's simple, classic, understated, and clean. There's no lines separating the threads/posts though (the one downside) - but there is alternating gray/white to disginuish one thread/post from from the next. Overall, I give it a

The posts are separated by a much larger than usual amount of space, Lassie, as well as a very subtle gray/white contrast (as mentioned). All joking aside, I created it as "the" easy-to-read skin. No graphics, zero frills, lots of space. It ain't exactly pretty, but it delivers what it promises: simplicity.

I like it. I have been having vision problems for awhile, and unfortunately it's getting worse. This is far easier on my eyes. Thanks!

I tried it, and it's way to stark for my liking. I'm really liking the cloth skin though, nice & simple, no fuss.

Virgil, thanks, but I will keep what I got. I am not that technically astute to keep changing things.
