From what I heard, a theme converter doesn't seem possible as multiple people said it was too complex to pull off due to Invisionfree skins and Zetaboard themes being too different but I imagine it would be nice to have. I suppose this would fall on things I think we need but won't ever be able to have but who knows?

Don't care much for ZNR so don't care if they revamp or not.

Fast Theme installation is always nice especially having to plug in all those forum images in. I wish there was a faster way to do it but I can live with the way it is now.

I don't see the need for making security any stronger as the only part that needs strengthening is the security of the user and there is nothing anyone but the user can do to fix that.

I really can't think of anything ZN needs atm other then to fix the remaining bugs and get everything working as it should.

This. Believe me, people - if a theme converter was possible, someone would have made one long ago. I mean, look at how immensely diligent coders are. Viral has made the AIO; Dan makes websites quite often and has made like 13981293182938 codes; Mike has created both the BB and PN systems (huge); Scott has made multiple RPGs that are thousands of lines long; Choco made aquate, the 3-piece h2, etc; I've provided the abstract framework behind a great many codes and I've filled hundreds of requests.

The underlying theme: we are immensely stubborn and diligent. If a theme converter was possible, we would have had it completed by now.

That being said, I picked faster theme installation.

Adding on to what Reid said, Depending on the skinner, skins have different header and footer settings, and with people sometimes using different classes for things, there is no way you could possibly make a converter to cover all of those possible variables in a skin.

I pick faster installation. Being able to replace the graphics with new ones would be a very nice option to have.

I'd also like to be able to add thumbnails to each theme in the ACP.. Zeta Original has one, but non of the others do. :P

I wish that a theme converter was possible, but we pretty much know that won't happen.

Every option sounds really interesting, but I've chosen the first option. Just like BZ said, It's less likely to happen but it would be probably really nice if a theme converter would appear, because it would make all work extra easy, especially since if I could make an InvisionFree skin, I could just, without many problems, convert it to ZetaBoards.

It's as if none of you actually read the topics you reply to. Reid has already addressed why a theme converter from InvisionFree to ZetaBoards is not possible. My vote out of the options above goes to Fast Theme Installation.

One-Click Installation would be awesome, I'm pretty excited for that.

Security is already very strong. Even the best security set-ups can be bested if the user isn't smart enough to secure their account, though.

I'm also excited for ZNR revamp. :r

Theme Converter; won't happen. Faster theme installation; seems interesting but I most likely won't care. Stronger security; it's already freakin' secure from what I can tell, it's just idiots who can't handle the challenges of creating a secure password. Leaving the ZNB revamp the only interesting change to look forward to.
