The skin was fun to work with. eFiction is total overkill for the amount of material there but we really wanted the opportunity to install and play with it.

Thought I might add a warning here this is a slash fiction site and the main image is a naked old Roman sculpture. The main URL hasn't been rerouted yet but the site is online here  http://cestrumasfragrancev3.thedrawlyn.com

It's a brand new install of 3.5 with an import from an old one we started on 3.31. Not to jinx ourselves, but it's been working great and we haven't had any problems.

The only issue I have with the skin is there isn't a logout or a member welcome in the main menu. We tried hacking it in but neither one of us a php people so it is as it stands.

If anyone finds any problems please reply.

Now to go get more stuff on it ... hmmm ... guess I'll have to finish writing something.

Thanks, cestruma

Looks pretty nice to me!  You do have one spelling error, however:  "This site is not excepting submissions."  (May not be an exact quote but it is an exact misspelling!)  You want to put, "This site is not accepting submissions." 

Very, very common mistake.

Your skin is very nice.  I'm impressed!

Uh, no PHP invovled to add to the menu, just open up header.tpl and add in {logout}. Not sure what you mean by member welcome.


Skins made by Kali are no longer supported!

MuggleMomma - thank you for catching that! It is a typical one for me.

Kali - I did try adding {logout} to the menulist - I added <li> to the element that was already there then adding the second for {logout} and broke it πŸ™  I haven't been back to try it again yet. 

As for the Welcome member, I was thinking something like:

"Hello, cestruma" or "You are logged in as LoveNatsume" or something a long those lines once the member has logged in. I know that the login form going away is a sign that you are logged in but I thought it would be nice.  It just bling really.

Oh and thanks Kali for sharing the skin - I looked at a few of the them and yours was nicely rational.
