Rob Veteran Posted November 16, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hi guys! As part of our efforts to market the our upcoming upgrade to IPB3 and a new theme across the site, I'll be preparing some materials and would like your help! I'm trying to get hold of screenshots of Neowin from its very early stages. Can you help? I suspect many of you may have screenshots lying around your machines, or you'll be better at using Archive.org to get hold of them anyway - so some images of the front page and/or forums from the different themes we've had would be great. Full resolution please, and preferably where all the images are showing (Archive.org doesn't save all images but on occasions it does) - PNGs (JPGs at a push, but nothing that's been scaled down or reduced in quality too much). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmuZombie Veteran Posted November 16, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2009 Please make sure you port the classic theme to the new board. I still use it. I may be the only one, but I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Veteran Posted November 16, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hate to tell you, but we're cutting all themes with exception to Atlas on the forums iirc :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't complete though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted November 21, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted November 21, 2009 sadly, this is all I got. I'm not even sure if this was ever official, or where I got this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted November 21, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 21, 2009 I originally read this topic and thought I didn't have any screenshots, until I realized in my early screenshot taking craze of browser layouts, that they also double as screenshots of Neowin's Swift layout. Here's one that dates from 2005 (feel free to crop out the browser bits): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMann Veteran Posted November 21, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 21, 2009 ^ That brings back some memories! Compared to Ignition, just shows how much Neowin has improved over the years. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoL Veteran Posted November 22, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2009 Man all my desktops screenshots have Neowin minimized in the taskbar. A lot from 2002 and 2003. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Veteran Posted November 22, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2009 This is all really useful, thank you! Keep them coming! I am thinking some of the really really early stuff might need Steve's input to acquire, or perhaps extend this outside the vet/mvc area to all members.

RoomKid Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'm not too sure, but this logo's might be from the early stage of Neowin http://www.township.chapleau.on.ca/files/e...s/CC_Neowin.jpg http://userlogos.org/files/logos/Voodoo/Neowin.png Correct me if I'm wrong, anyways, Im trying my best by finding screenshots on Google Images and Bing Images.
