My opinion is that InvisionFree images look better that Invision Power Board images.

The ONLY thing I don't like about iF Images is, That they are always cut. Cut out edges; Ugly. :(.

In feature requests you may want to suggest that they do not do that.

Dark Background: IF: great. IPB: bad.

Well Duffman...that's why when you have an IPB board, you don't just put the skin in, but you also get the coplimentary macro sets to go along with the background. So in IPB board, you RARELY[/i] if not ever see a skinned forum with the default macro set, but with their own unique and matching sets of macros.

And you can do that on InvisionFree as well. In fact you should be able to do it much afster since you can make bulk edits to the macros.

True...but I doubt that it's faster than taking your .tar skin, upload, import skin. That's it! With IF...you have to manually save the macro, upload it into a webserver, then hotlink it. I did a time comparison and found out that IF skinning takes about 15 to 20 mins (if you're slow)...while skinning on an IPB board takes around 5 (if you're somewhat fast).

besides the background colours you'd need a magnifying glass to tell the difference....

Yes, I agree with Typer. I didn't really see the differences in the 2 of them. Couldn't really care less if I was stuck with either of them.

Maybe it is my eyes, but I do not see the difference.
