it seems the english version of his site is acknowledging the template

Posted By: christophercheers Pete, i missed that :) but the point still remains, you don't have to give credit for Andreas's design so Nature, even if built off Andreas01, doesn't contrevene any legal license.

also, is it only me thats think Nature is so different colour wise etc.

if we moaned about every design that was similar in layout to another, that would get very boring very quickly...

Yes it would..

hmmm, I never noticed, but yeah, your are correct.. I will have to look at the extension later.

I agree with Christopher, i'm a big advocate of public domain meaning you say goodbye to any rights to your design full stop. If that means some one using the template and tweaking it to say its theirs then so be it. I would expect the same PD template to be called something different all over the world. And I don't think it's morally wrong too as there are plenty of licences that allow templates to be acknowledged etc.

hello, excuse my bad English! you are right natural is based on andreas and I recognize it readily I did not change much thing not only tried to give him another look what does not remove anything with the talent andreas! only I have more facility with graphics than with the code as it is more as one springboard to understand as I natural it is a long training and should well be begun a day did.

Am i the only one that doesn't see the similarities at all?
other than the three columns each containing the same thing (both left columns have links, middle has content, right has copyright/more info) I dont see many similarities at all.
Great design, kty.

Yeah - you're all doing a great job. Thanks.
BTW Pete, where can I find your "public domain" templates?

It's beautiful kty.

thank you for those which like my design and all my excuses with the coders. I will try to learn more and more and especially thank you Mr. andreas it's true a perfect code that helps much!

Has anyone noticed that images arent correct when "quoted" too?

@DeanStev: Yes I've noticed that too and when I see it, I edit the comment/post to correct it.

I'm not sure if it's a bug in Vanilla itself or in the CSS.

Hey moderators, if you see this, feel free to edit the quote and correct it.

Nice makeover, kty!

I really don't mind seeing templates that are based on mine. It is actually a good source of inspiration to see how people are adding new things and improving various details. And it gives template users more good templates to choose from, which is a good thing. Credits are always appreciated, but of course no requirement.

By the way, I'm preparing to upload the new version 2.5 of andreas01 to this site today. No major changes, just a few fixes and a secondary 2-column layout added...
