A Glimpse Into Our Past

[DazedOblivion]

Somebody at the Corrs Club posted the link to this really cool website that has somehow recorded webpages from the past.

I took a look at our own Corrs Fan Base and found HERE our earliest recorded page from 6 December, 2004 (Wiku, you can see our old colours!). This is not long after Swantje started the board.

Or if you would like to look at the Corrs Official Website from 21 March, 2002, you can see it HERE:

Our friend Wiku (who is an incredible and much-lauded artist) once lamented the loss of those old colours at the board that you can see (from the Wayback Machine) we once had.

Although the new color is better, i miss the old color of Corrs Fan Base. Remember the combination of blue-purple, also "Unplugged Header"? Well...we gonna miss it...we have lots of nice memory with the colors . Ok, let's add the "Blue-Purple" into Corrs fan Base history

Kylie then suggested that we could have a "skin" for those who prefer the old colours or want to relive the past!

You don't have to change the forum colors, you could make new skins, so we can chose which layout we each want.

What Kylie suggested is what I have done (finally). The idea came to me that I could use the "Wayback Machine" website as a reference and try my best to re-create the old look. This old look is now available as a skin called "CFB Retro".

You can change your skin by clicking on your user name and going to the "Modify Profile" link. I thought that this would give people a choice, but the default colour will remain the green colours of the Home period.

Okay..no need to say I got curious after reading this..and decided to try it out.

OMG but when I changed it into retro...I quickly went back to change it to the nice green colours again
Well I will just stick with this..as for me it feels it just has to be green, because when I think of Ireland I think of the colour green ;D

Agree, green rules

[DazedOblivion]

Well, I think the green is better too, but then our prodigy artist member, Wiku, really liked the old colours. The old colours bring back some good memories for me, too.

I always like to change things. I change the music on MySpace profile about once every two or three days *lol*

[Stephanie]

Well it isn't that I don't like the other colours..but because I only know this board as green and I feel like green and Ireland are connected..I just prefer this colour.

However I can totally understand others would prefer the old colours and that it brings back memories
