The site is not live yet. There is just a "under construction" sign on the frontpage. But I do have a forum on the site 10gambler.com/forum

Yes paypal is fine by me.

some more things to add to the list

*remove those 'post indicators' i think you call them. (that indicate whether there is a new or no new posts)

I can create all the necessary graphics.

If anyone needs an example of what I want the forum to look like I will post a link.

I need some help creating a forum style. I?ve already created a website but need some one to create a forum style. I already have the navigation bar ,header and background, that I want to use. I also need the site to be a fixed width. All very simple stuff.

Heres a list;
Use the background that I want.
Insert my navigation bar.
Use the font size that I want.
Fix the width size of the forum.
Help me install the style.

That?s all I can think of right now but there are more things.I was going to use a style created by Gizzmo ?Joey? but I decided that I wanted my website to be fully integrated with forum. The reward is a $50 Amazon gift voucher. Post a message in this thread if you can help me or need more information.

Can PunnBB forums handle 100 plus users online at one single time?

I want to make a few modifications to my forum but I?m not sure what code to edit in the .css files.


I want to delete my forum title and just have the menu at the top.
I also want to change the original side margins of the forum from the about the 1cm margin that there is now to 0. 
And I want to add some ads above the forum menu.

I don?t know whether this is a punres.org question but when I clicked on the link I get the following message.

Punres.org

This PHP environment doesn't have Improved MySQL (mysqli) support built in. Improved MySQL support is required if you want to use a MySQL 4.1 (or later) database to run this forum. Consult the PHP documentation for further assistance.

No sorry dude cant help you there but i have left a slightly hilarious post on your 2nd last blog entry. Hope you got it.

Have found that file and I was able to upload a test skin. The skin worked and there where no other problems.

It seems that frontpage was the problem and using SmartFTP solved it. Now i'll be able change skins, add header/ footers etc.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I've watched the Smartftp tutorial on how to upload files and have figured out how to do it. 
So i've now got my local files on one side and the remote files on the other just like FP2003.

But the only difference is that when i connect to Frontpage file transfer, there is a file called forum and when you click on that a file called style.. and so on.

But with SmartFTP i cant find the forum file. There are about 15 small files in there and dont know which one of them has the forum and style and import files.

When i typed in /forum  i got " No such file or directory"

Can someone help me find the file?

Smartftp downloaded that and it works fine but i dont know how to use it.

I did mangage to connect to my website but it have no idea how to publish the files on my pc to the web.

Its not as simple as Frontpage2003. On frontpage the screen is devided into your pc's files and the webs files and an arrow in the midle.




thanks for the link Paul. Is filezilla simple to use?

Ok is there any other way of changing the look of the forum?

Am i the only one with FrontPage who's experiencing this problem?

And how easy/difficult is it to switch to another forum software?

I'll try one more thing. I'll  extract one of the default skins from the punbb zip and change the name of the file. This should determine wheater it is frontpage.

YEAH!

Code:
/* Import the basic setup styles */
@import url("../../imports/base.css");
/* Import the colour scheme */
@import url("../../imports/spinkbb_cs.css");

I checked the file on my PC and it does not have ../../   i dont know wheather frontpage changes it to ../../ that. I have already tried to enter the correct code and uplaod the file. It didnt work.

I copied the code pogenwurst provided (replacing the original)... but looking at the orginal on my PC it was fine also except it was just (/imports.base.css   It didnt have the "  in there.   

I didnt work. It was text only again. No skin.

Yes the link is 10gambler.com/forum/

I'm trying to create a new skin using SpinkBB. I followed all the steps but have no idea what I?m doing wrong.

1. I open a text document and save it as SpinkBB.css and spinkbb_cs.css
2. I click on files and open them with frontpage2003.
3. I copy/paste the code into the documents.
4. Using frontpage2003 I upload SpinkBB.css and spinkbb_cs.css to style/ directory and spinkbb_cs.css to style/imports/ directory
5. I log into the forum, click on personality, display and choose SpinkBB


When I try to select the new skin, the forum only displays texts. There is no skin just the text.

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
