Any other templates than default?

Any other templates than default?
1. Currently, I'm going to purchase Links SQL, but default templates seem to be very poor. Are there any other templates available at a reasonable price? ($20 - $50).

2. Also, if there is one who can help me to integrate Links SQL user database with vBulletin?

(I can pay via credit card, but cannot use PayPal).

3. I have a dedicated Celeron 1000 MHz/IDE server for the project. Is it enough to handle 10K daily visits to Links?

There is a zip of template sets in the client download area you can see what they look like here:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...ql2/page.cgi?t=yahoo

A 1000mhz should be plenty to handle 10000 hits as long as you don't have 96MB RAM or something ;)

There's a plugin already made to do this.

Thank you for your replies. I already know about that templates, but think that it will be great if someone or even GT creates a pack of several well designed skins. Those skins that you sugessted are not fantastic, you know Wink I wish I had more design and programming skills... Frown

Regarding my questions, I have Celeron 1000 with 1024MB ram, and i'm pretty sure it will handle Links in static mode, but what about dynamic mode? I just bought competing product - INDEXU and found out it works poorly with just 20K entries in database....

If you have access to mod_perl then you will have absolutely nothing to worry about. Even without mod_perl I would say static or dynamic mode will work efficiently.

As Paul mentioned, I'd recommend running it under mod_perl for the best performance. See:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=231972#231972
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=231969#231969

for some tips on mod_perl. We're also available to help configure it for you if needed.

However, with 20 thousand links and averaging 10k hits a day, you should still see fast results even without mod_perl.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,

Alex

I tried this with a few designs before...but after doing a couple, I realised there was virually nil demand for it...so I gave up Frown

Every webmaster wants a different design. I expect if GT came up with an awesome complex design then people aren't going to want to use it as everyone wants a unique design.

The purpose of the templates is to create a good base for you to create your own design. There are of course developers who would be willing to do paid design work.
