Hello everyone,

Before I do it, I was wondering if you guys would use skins made my be if I used the jquery library. I think the current size is 70.5KB.

Based on this thread, I will either leave jquery out or start implementing it in my new releases.

Just to give you a more detailed reply. I would not use it. The added load to the site would imho not be worth it. MyBB uses prototype which is similar and could probably suit your needs.
I've never used prototype, but I can get used to it quick I'm sure. Thank you for your reply!
Since I am using jQuery for a lot of my sites I would probably use it. By the way, as I far as I know MyBB 2.0 will have jQuery anyway Smile
I use it a bit in each of my premium skins. I think it adds a good feel to each skin.

I believe that's true. Jquery is definitely the better library but running them both is probably not wise.
I think it's fine as long as you don't overuse it.
I'd use it. iirc Google code or w/e has it hosted so you can just include it from there rather than hosting it on your server.

It's not much memory anyways.
I put jQuery in everything I make. HTML template, MyBB theme, Wordpress theme.. Everything.
