Members, welcome a new theme to the swiss army knife of community themes. This one is different though. Designed for the use of people in the public in mind, this theme is simply usable without anybody seeing what kind of forum you're at. Unless of course you look at the header.

PokéLink.
Designed for minimalism, and loading quite fast (when cached) for dialup users, and don't even ask about broadband speed. No gradients, just pure and simple plain circles and other buttons for easy viewing in mind.

Time testing
Loading time comparison on a 28.8 kbps modem:
Midnight Misty: 1:28.69 seconds
PokéLink: 0:50.00 seconds

To switch to the new theme:
- Go into your User Control Panel (http://pokecommunity.com/usercp.php?), select Edit Options (http://pokecommunity.com/profile.php?do=editoptions), and scroll down to Miscellaneous Options. You'll see:
[ Forum Skin ]
There is more than one skin in which you can view the forums. If you would like to switch to a different skin, select it from this list.

Please note that some forums here may override your skin choice temporarily.
Forum Skin: <Select PokéLink>

- OR -

- Go to the bottom and look for a list. You'll be able to select PokéLink from there.

- OR -

- Just click the following link.
http://pokecommunity.com/index.php?styleid=48

Known problems
- The Left Postbit does not work correctly.
This theme has no support for Left Postbit and there are no intentions of getting this working. PokéLink has a unique design scheme that requires the Top Postbit. Comment here for requests and it may or may not be implemented.

PokeLink ish cool~ *grievance against this keyboard - I can't use the accented characters* ^o^ And it's a great idea. When this darn limiter sets in, it'll be really helpful X3

Cool! Nice and simple!

The bit at the top where it says, [User Name]'s Control Panel, looks as little odd...

Very colourful and refreshing theme, and very professionally designed too. Great work!

Question; what's the point in a PNG header when it only contains two colours? O_o; You should get the same results from a GIF, with a smaller filesize.

Also I wouldn't exactly call this loading speed 'wicked fast', as it took beyond 40 seconds for the index to load. Still, the effort is appreciated.

I really like this new theme, Tetsuya-san, using it right now. I'm not much for the bright colors, but it is a bit faster. XD Tahoma is nice~ <3

Hmm....I actually LIKE themes with gradients. But speedwise, THAT some people could use.

Wow, very simple.. but it looks great in it's simplicity XD. I will put it as my default, even though my connection is faster than Broadband XD

Nice...I use public computers a lot, so I can make sure people will have a harder time figuring out what site I am on...

Man, this is so cool...this will be my main skin from now on.

I appreciate that people are finally looking out for the 28.8k modem people like me...most skins give me a lot of trouble as far as loading time goes, and even though I thought that this skin would blind me when I first used it, I think I can get used to it ^_^

Thanks, this is going to help me out immensely :D

Jake, you do know it's "brand-spanking new". XD

Anyway it's a nice layout and loads really fast. And it only has 2 Pokemon things on the layout (the PokéBall and the button), so the ones that isn't really into Pokemon might like this.
I need something new so I'm using this layout. XD

You might have to clear your cookies. And make sure you got the layout set in options (click on User CP, then click Edit Options, go all the way down and pick the layout you want).

Andrea: I would have put "grandparent-spanking new theme". =o Yes, I deliberately didn't use "brand-spanking".

Here's to the conscious ones - learning PC is all about a better use of terms that people can understand. =o
