Anyone know which theme/style this is?

[Sugarkryptonite]

Used on many different forums. Anyone recognize it or is it a custom job?

 

[ENF]

It's a VerticalScope owned forum, so it's probably their own custom style.
Are the other forums you mention owned by the same company?

Yes they do. Was hoping it wasn't a custom theme. Oh well, thanks.

Yep, they are all owned by VerticalScope Inc.

Just a banner and side bar widgets. Not terribly hard and you could get close even with the default Xenforo style.

Yep, this is a custom VeritcalScope style. The problem is, they've disabled some core XF features in an attempt to "customize" it, which makes usage annoying. Examples:

• The tiny avatar that overlays the small avatar in the thread display list is missing, so you can't see threads you have contributed to.
• Essential elements are moved around; the Edit link is moved to a menu in the upper right corner of a post, as one example.
• If the page has ignored content, there is no link to temporarily view the content.
• It's a continual work in progress--they stripped out many core XF features, then slowly reintroduce them as periodic "improvements."
• Rather than a notification bell, they hide it all in your user menu, so now it takes two clicks to see your alerts, vs. one; private conversations are similarly hidden in your user menu and again, additional clicks to get there.

Appearance-wise, I got a very similar look using Flare from ThemeHouse, as it is a similarly "minimal" theme that removes many of the borders that the stock XF theme uses.

And my big concern about such a heavily modified version of XF's theme is that it will take much longer to release an upgrade, since there is so much that has been modified. I don't even know if they're on XF 2.2 yet. I only participate in a few of their automotive forums as a visitor/member, not staff.

Also, is this the default Xenforo theme that we are using on this very forum?

I posted about this before, but my latest style Bolt can achieve a similar header style.

Sneak peek at some new styles!

I posted this on our site yesterday but I wanted to share it with you all here. With 2.2 officially around the corner, I'm excited to be able to finally share some screenshots on our upcoming styles. Bolt Bolt is a clean new approach to your XenForo community. The screenshots do not do it...

Past there, they've customized their forums a ton with little unique things.

 

[Wildcat Media]

@Russ A bit off-topic, but I really like that Bolt theme! (I use FlatAwesome+ on one of my forums--it was easy to customize and get running.)

 

[Lee]

Bolt is awesome. I am using it on an upcoming project

Yes, other than the lower half of the footer, which is custom.
