Topic: Styles... Index... etc

Hello all.
I'm new to PunBB. I used to run SMF, but wanted to try something new.
I'm wondering:
1.) Where to get styles?
2.) How to install styles?
3.) How to change the text "Index" on the navigation bar to "Home"

If anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Saving Sara Sidle

1.- http://www.keydogbb.info/dhtml/keydog-1 … angmod.php

2.- Just copy the folder found in the ZIP to the /style/ folder

3.- Change Line 115 on 'lang/English/common.php' to:

'Index'                        =>    'Home',

Thanks!

So that site that you gave me for styles, is it the only one?

It's not necessary to write in bold. Do a search for spinkbb. That is an online style generation aid/tool which has recently been updated to cover 1.3.

I use bold on all message boards, it allows me to read the posts better, as well as differentiate my posts from others.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with changing the width of:
1.) The side bar that shows the posters name, because as you can see below, it overflows for longer ID's.

and

2.) The text field for polls? These aren't fitting correctly as well.

Thank you for this. I am just setting up a forum + it took me sometime to find this.

I'd suggest this be compiled in a FAQ if possible. Thx !

But it makes everything look WORSE for other members and it makes them place a disproportionate amount of attention on  your posts.  AND you have an obnoxious signature.
