Once you have created the design in photoshop you will then have to turn that into css and code in order for it to work with the forum. You'll essentially have to create a new skin, but this can be fairly easily done by using Oxygen as the foundations and building around that.

Looks like this is where the problem could be, there is absolutely nothing in the htaccess file.
Maybe someone can give me the code that's supposed to be in there for using folder based SEFs?
Thanks again for the reply

Hi Matt, thanks for the reply! I had already put a htaccess file in place and changed the permissions to 777, but still I have the problems.
Never had any issues with htaccess files before with hostgator, so not sure its the problem.

Topic: SEF URL problem (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 troubleshooting)
Hi folks, sorry my first post is asking for help but here goes.
note: running version 1.3.6 - forum is here - http://forum.goholga.com
I recently tried to configure the SEF URLs on my punbb forum. i created a blank htaccess and made sure it was writable, but straight away everything 404d.
Thinking this might be something to do with my cache, I cleared it in the hope that this problem would then be solved.
I was wrong. The problem still existed and what made matters worse...I was logged out of my forum and could no longer get back into the admin panel to change back as I was getting a 404.
I have tired manually resetting the SEF option in my database, but have had no luck.
If anyone can help me solve the issue, or just tell me how to reset the urls manually it would be very much appreciated!
I look forward to hearing your replies
Thanks a lot!
