Any PHP Developers Interested in Coding for Vizzed?
My development time is very limited these days, so I figured this might be a good opportunity to open up the doors for a few users with PHP skills to help develop stuff for Vizzed. Users will be given limited access to the site functions and variables, but they'd be free to create mostly whatever they want.

You would do your coding right here on the site and I'd even give you your own database. Here's a preview of what the PHP Developer Center looks like


Please note, you would not get paid for doing this. This is just for users who want to help out the site or want to utilize / expand their PHP skills. You wouldn't get access to the actual site's code, but you would get access to a lot of useful variables. You also wouldn't get access to the site's main database but you'd be given your own database. These restrictions are to prevent any accidental or intentional harm to the site.


Features include:
-Access to over 30 variables, which include name of the logged in user, details of the logged in user, page information, and more!
-Supports Javascript and CSS
-The ability to collaborate with other "qualified" users
-Full customization over your pages, including the ability to change the page name, description, etc.
-Full stats about your pages, including page views, who viewed it, full logs, who is currently on it, etc.
-Earn Viz and CP when your pages are used
-Your own database
-And lots more


Requirements:
-Must be an Elite Users or a Trusted User who has been on the site for over 5 years and has at least 1000 posts
-Must have decent PHP skills (please provide examples of things you've done)
-Tell me what ideas you might have and why you would like to be a PHP developer on Vizzed


There's a limited number of users that I'm willing to promote to PHP Developer, so be sure to apply right away if you're interested.

Be sure to respond to this thread with your application:

Vizzed Color Scheme - What needs to be changed?
Something I've wanted to do for a while now is change the color scheme of the site. Keep in mind, I'm not talking about the layout of the site, that'd be too much work. I'm talking about the colors used throughout the site and the background images.

I've made attempts in the past to modernize the look of the site but I've always had users fight back. I think now is the time to do it though since the site needs to have a more visual appeal to new people. The current theme would always be available as a selectable theme.

As far as the color scheme goes, what are complaints that you or others might have about it? What are you suggestions? I know a common complaint is that the site is sometimes hard on a user's eyes and I'm not sure if it's because it's light on dark or if it's the greens contrasting with the blues. Either way, any feedback would be great.

Here's something I've been working on. Let me know if this is any better or if you have any suggestions to it:
Vizzed 2022 Theme

With that new theme, the background color is actually not part of the background image, allowing me to easily change the color (or perhaps dynamically, similar to what was seen in the 2022 April Fools prank).

If you have any ideas or suggestions, please don't hesitate to suggest them here:
