Using Attractive Graphics

[Systems]

My 4th Documentation! Enjoy this one

1) Have a customized logo/banner for your forum
2) Have a customized and matching button set to skin
3) Have a welcoming skin that isn't hard to read and barely any imperfections.
4) Have nice emoticions make sure they match the color scheme and their is not to many running the post collum at the end of the forum.
5) Modifications would be a nice asset as you can add a little bling to your forum. Make sure these aren't crappy mod's like no one cares about. Put in stuff that members will enjoy!

Hi,

I have seen a lot of forums which have 'skins' and the majority look really cool. I would like to do the same thing for my site but have no coding knowledge or understanding what so ever!

Are there any sites which you can download skins from and is it quite straight forward to do?

Thanks
Pix

Hi! And welcome to Proboards How-To.

"Skins", or "Templates", can be found throughout many design sites here at Proboards. The biggest, and most frequently used one is SolidSnake Designs: ssdesigns.proboards17.com. You will have to register, but there code and template index is huge!

To add a domain to your site, you will need to host some images, which can be done at www.photobucket.com. When you download a template from SSD, there will be a ReadMe file included with insructions

Quick question before I start 'skining' (new technical term!!)
Will it effect my members posts etc?

Thanks

Nope. It will only change the visible look of your board
