How-To: Customize Your Board

[Mike]

Once in your area, you will beable to see Customize Your Board. Underneath, you are able to:

Board Settings

In this area, you are able to:

• Change Board Name
  
• Include A Logo Image
  
• Provide E-mail Address
  
• Change the Font
  
• Enable Maintance Mode
  
• Disable Signups
  

Edit Forum Colors

Here, you can change the colors of your forum. It is a good idea to use HEX numbers, instead of 'red' or 'blue'.

Modify Headers and Footers

Here, edit forum headers and footers by instering codes you have found from various sites, or you have made. When editing your headers/footers, it is a good idea to open 2 windows, just incase you mess up your first save, you can save it back to original. Headers are ontop of your forum, footers are on the bottom.

Update News Fader

Enter the text which you want to appear on your news fader on the welcome page. Put a space between each message, and select the spped. If you do not wish to use the news fader, simply de-select 'Enable News Fader'.

Customize Board Images

Here, you can change any image that appears on your board if you wish. Be sure to host the images yourself.

Set Custom Avatars

In here, you can change the default avatars to something that fits your forum, and maybe something alittle more 'jazzy'.
