I downloaded a new style for my forum and it is mostly yellow.  However, the navigation links are white and it makes them hard to see, how do I change the color?  I would use SpinkBB but I already have the style I want.  How can I edit ONLY the navigation link colors?

Ok so there is no way someone can type in, for example, mydomain.com/punbb/config.php and hack into anything?  Because I have heard of hackers getting into forums and messing with stuff.

I have been given the chance to create forums for a commercial website and I cannot mess this chance up!  Since it is so commercial and will be given a lot of attention, I need to know the best way to keep the forums secure to prevent any possible hackers.  Please help me! Thank guys!

Is there any way I can install PunPortal 2.0 and still have all of my forums, topics, and member's replies?  Or will installing PunPortal 2.0 require me to start the forums over?

Also, thank you to all who have made PunBB successful!

For my website I use 1&1 web host's Website Builder and then my forum for the website it PunBB.  I want to make my PunBB forum look like it is actually part of the main website instead of looking like its a whole different website.  My website is www.SingersConnect.net and if you go to the main website you will notice how the top of the page has graphics in blue/black/grey and then when you go to "forums" you are directed to PunBB which is the basic cobalt design like this website(PunBB.org).  Is there any way I can edit main.tpl to make my PunBB forum look identical to my website template?

www.SingersConnect.com a music community devoted to singers and people who want to learn how to sing.  We host online singing competitions and offer free singing support.

Edit the forum in administration and you can choose who can view the forum, who can post topics, and who can reply.

It worked smartys, you just replace the google code with the adbrite code.  And when i doubled-clicked the main.tpl file it says unknown file, windows cannot open.  I just had to open notepad and then open the file by browsing for it.  So thank you for the help, PunBB is a great program, and even better for being free... that is very generous of you guys.

Ok thanks Smartys, I will be sure to let you know if that works.

Also, what program do I need in order to edit main.tpl?

Oh ok, sorry when he said do a search I thought he was referring to google or yahoo search, haha.  Thanks for the code, do you happen to know how to do the same thing with AdBrite (I imagine the codes would be slightly different)?  I (as well as many others) like AdBrite much more than AdSense because AdSense is all about clicks and impressions where as AdBrite lets you sell the ad space  on a weekly or monthly basis.

I know how to enter the code in general, but how do I edit the source code for my PunBB forum is what I am asking.

Is it possible to integrate Google AdSense or AdBrite into my PunBB Forum?  If so, how can I do this?  The Ad codes use javascript I believe.  Thank you for any help you can give me!

An example is this: http://www.punres.org see how Google AdSense is integrated into the top?  How do you do that?

Thank you to ALL who helped, the problem has been fixed!  But hey, since all of you are so internet saavy, does anyone know how to make it so people can upload music onto my website, such as Myspace where people can post their own songs?  Is there software for this? If not, then thanks anyways!

Ok well the good news is that now when I go to singersconnect.net/punbb it directs me to the forums and there was an index.html in the punbb folder.  But my navigation button goes to /punbb.html and I cannot get to the forums through /punbb.html and my web host forces me to use .html for navigation button destinations.

Thank you for going out of your way to give me such a detailed description, I will be sure to try it out.

MadHatter, you said you also use 1and1?  Tell me if this has anything to do with my problem:  when I use my FTP client and access my server, the main directory for my website is "/." and then if i open that I get "log" and "wsb39468142398" should I be uploading PunBB to " /. " or "wbs802489745" because when I go to "Domain Overview" it says my domain name and then webspace - wsb47620874 so I assumed that was the main place to upload because when I open wsb it shows all of my pages such as forums.html, index.html, example.html, and so on...

P.S - Maybe a subdomain could be an alternative?

www.singersconnect.net is the main website and then the forum is at www.singersconnect.net/punbb/index.php  I changed the folder back to "punbb" because it did not change anything I didnt wanna go change all of my links to the new "forums/index.php" for no reason.  If I change the "Forum" tab's destination from the navigation menu to singersconnect.net/punbb it also does nothing.  You will see that when you click on "Forums" from the navigation menu you will be directed to "punbb.html" and when you click the link on that page you will be directed to "/punbb/index.php"         - Thank you for any help I can get!

Ok I did what you said, but the only way to access my forums is to type in or link to mydomain.com/forums/index.php I cannot access the forums by typing in mydomain.com/forums which is what my navigation bar links to.  I need it to be like the Punbb.org website how when you click on "Forums" ir brings you right to the forums.  Once again, when I create a new tab on my navigation bar, it only lets me link to /xxxxx.hmtl and not /xxxxxx.php also, the i can only access my forums if i type in /forums/index.php and not just /forums

I have my PunBB setup at www.mydomain.com/punbb/index.php but I want the forum to be located at www.mydomain.com/forums so that when you are on my website you can click on "forums" in the navigation menu and be brought to the PunBB forum.  As of right now, you have to click on "forums" and it brings you to a page with a link to the actual forum.  I tried to change the "Forums" navigation location to /punbb/index.php but my website builer from 1and1 wont allow me to put dashes or periods in the URL location and they make it automatically end with ".html" so i cannot use the ".php"  I need this to work, PLEASE HELP!  Thank you so much!
