[quote]Under the current system if a designer wanted to make a FUNDAMENTAL change to the way the site looks, he could not without editing php classes such as the textBox class or the infoBox class. With a template like I'm doing it would just be simple html editing. [/quote]

not sure what you mean by fundamental change.  The boxes are being looked into by serveral different approaches.  I am looking at using both css and the php way of doing the boxes.  I am looking to implement both in my current way of design, but want it all dynamically driven via the DB.

css would be the easiest way to change the box structure for sure, and there are a few people working towards this end.  I am looking at the php way of implementing them that will be totally transparnet to the end user.

I just do not see the need to move away from osc in anyway, rather I would like to see the teams thoughts on the template structure they have listed for MS3 ([i][color=blue]it was the reason I started this thread in the first place[/color][/i]).

cheers,
