Ice94000 -> A few questions. Nothing Big. (5/28/2010 21:57:15)

I have a few questions about the forums, I hope you can answer them.

1. What type of forum is it? IPB? vBulliten?
2. What host are you using?
3. Is it possible to add a custom skin? (Like the dark, red, etc)

Thanks :)

1. I believe its ASPPlayground.NET

2. No clue, sorry.

3. Yes, its possible to add a custom skin. From =AE= Frequently Asked Questions:

19) "Can the staff make some new forum skins?"

Our staff is hard at work on other features, but you can make some for yourself.
To submit a skin for general use on the forums, please email the completed stylesheet to one of the administrators found here:
AE Staff and Staff Assistants List

Our forum doesn't actually use any fancy code for the color skins.
It just uses these stylesheets:

http://forums2.battleon.com/f/blue.css
http://forums2.battleon.com/f/dark.css

You're all welcome to download these files, and experiment.
There's usually a browser setting where you can override style settings using a local CSS file to test with the live forum web site.

Let me know via PM if you come up with anything.
It was tricky to make sure that the buttons looked good though with different background colors.

A tip from aNyThInG, if you're using FireFox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843

Users can install this and they may edit the CSS code easily...Visit the webpage for more info. ALSO the good thing about it is that, users can create their own skin and they just save it on their computer. It does not affect anyone else. Since many people complain that this forum doesnt have many skins, they can just use that and customize themselves.
