forum index page

i'm kind of thinking it'd be nice to do something to the forum's index page to jazz it up a bit, but i'm just not sure what. i want to get this place to look more unique because to me it still looks too much like a generic phpBB forum. i don't really want to go so far as to change the whole theme though because i simply haven't the time right now. anyway, i was checking out http://www.planetsoulnetwork.com/forum/index.php (somehow i stumbled upon them when looking for the little icons i've been placing on the index page) and i like what they've done to encapsulate the forum listings and the "who is online" table (i.e. the cell headers that look kind of like a file folder, holding the "Forum," "Topics," "Posts," and "Last Post" titles in the forum listings). We'd need something a different colour of course, and I really don't know for sure if it would work well here or not...again, I'd just like to get something different on the index page. I also like their table header cell backgrounds on their other pages, and wonder if with a slightly different colour they could replace the ones we have.

anyway, if anyone is bored sometime, feel free to experiment! :mrgreen: i'll probably end up playing around with it at some point if no one else does.

Hey, thats pretty nice. I think that'd look good. I might be tempted to have a try at something like that. :P

Ooh! I'll try too! :shock:

haha...awesome. :)

if in fact you feel you theme changes are needed (i.e. cell background colours, text colour, whatever) for it to work out, that's fine...if i haven't the time now to propagate them throughout the forum, i can at least adjust the index page to use them.


anyway, no rush of course cuz we're all pretty busy.

thanks!

Hey, what does everybody think of Truthbearer's idea? http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic....t=9160&start=15 I think it's awesome!
