Skins in preparation?

For an unknown reason, 2-3 weeks ago, I right-clicked some of the images, and the URL was something like http://forum.therealn.com/styles/.../imageset/.../. Then I deleted everything after 'styles'. There I have found directories for m9orange, Hermes and Chrome. Then I didn't know what's Chrome supposed to be, but now I do. I went there again, and there are two new directories - prosilver and subsilver2. Prosilver has almost nothing done, but subsilver2 has lots of images. Here it is:
http://forum.therealn.com/styles/

Did you know about this before?

Weren't prosilver and subsilver2 two of the skins that we originally had, back before we narrowed it to m9 and Hermes? Their names ring a bell.

No idea. prosilver and it's brother subsilver are the default phpBB skins that are used in the engine, these are apparently left inside the directories if it's necessary to revert back to the old skins. Would be nice to enable them again.

Chrome, don't ask. I don't know, it isn't mine.

The prosilver directories appear empty because they have blank index.html pages in them. (Basically just to keep people from viewing the files inside. Designer's choice, not ours.) Like Chase said, those are the two skins that come with phpBB. Prosilver is more up-to-date and might not look good in older browsers like IE 5 and Netscape, but it's completely non-table-based! Uncommon for a forum. Also, Chrome is Chase's.

So it is mine then? Bwahhahaha.

Still. Bring back ProSilver at least until mine's ready. I should try Shift+F5 when I get back to my PC to see if the Search Box thingy is fine as it is from here.
