Template monster does some great work… visually and that is where it ends.

I’ve never tried any of their word press themes and won’t (thanks to you) but I believe you unconditionally! The reason being is their flash templates… they are so poorly written you might as well make one from scratch (and you know how long it take to create a flash site) by the time you are done figuring out how they create a simple action script and making minor changes you should be able to do it on your own.

You know they offer an additional service of customizing all of their products for you…. makes you wonder if they produce crappy coded products so you they can up sell you on the customization.

I forgot to type the security code the first time and when I clicked Back my long post was gone

Anyway, here is the short version.

Why not make your own version of some of their themes and offer them here as i would pay for that.Note, I said SIMILAR, as most themes are similar on one way or another anyway.

I liked the Tropical Grunge theme and this one http://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes/10779.html and even wanted to purchase it, but I can tell whoever created Tropical Grunge created this one too and the TG coding was horrible and I couldn’t edit it all all, so why waste my money on this one.

Thanks Chris. I don’t think it’s allowed for me to convert/fix their’s and offer them but I can certainly try to fix them if someone asked, although I don’t like to because they’re just too messy.

You’re very talented. I’ll bet you could make some $$$$ converting their crappy templates into good ones. Maybe start a thread on a few forums? Just for the SEO value alone, it would be worth it.
