I have been appointed the job of skinning a different message board. Im completely lost, because i dont know where to start! theres no upload or anything, and i dont know the path to where the files are. The admin of the site made me a global mod so i could skin it, but do you need to be admin to skin it???? Im in desperate need of help....
skin a board? whats that?
I think it's like the colors and overall look :?:
dreamscape got it right... theres two skins for this board, you know. You can which ones you use in your profile
Just dont make it too bright and colorfull. Thats what I hate about ld4all. I like how this board is easy on the eyes.
hey poop what kind of forum is it?
Yeah, thats a good place to start. Really depends on what its for.
I think pOOp is asking how to do it, not how the skin shall be. :wink:
pOOp: Check your PM.
Well me and my best friend are in a company that makes movies n' schtuff that are related to anime, and he just set up a board for the company.
Yeah. But is it a phpbb, invisionboard, etc or some other kind. Cause the best forums in the world are phpbb like dreamviews!!
Well its invisionboard, but my friend got the stupid free service and there are limits... i keep telling him to get a host and do the phpBB thing but his parents are untra-conservative and wont let him have a website....
what forum is it. what size etc, i have webspace thats not needed i could give him some space. :)
You'll need to be an admin, unless he sends you the default template. You upload by whatever method he uploaded the forum; and I have no idea where the files are in the forum. Try templates/<nameofskin> or skin/<nameofskin>, the obvious ones.-Quote:

And finally, if you have a free board you may not be able to skin it anyway. Decent webhosting is required; free services just can't cope usually.
?? how do i change the skin?? i cant find any button to press...Quote:
