More Enhancements for Your Bulletin Board

Post by tex »

As you probably know, the default board style for this BB is subSilver. In case you are bored with this style, or you would just like to be able to choose another board style for variety, or to better suit your personality, or whatever, you now have that option.

To change board styles, go to your profile, and select another style from the drop down menu in "Board Styles", and update your profile by clicking on the "submit" button at the bottom of the panel. Your board style will not change until after you click on the "here" link in the information window that opens, or until you allow it to timeout. Then you will see what the new style is like.

There are also a couple of options for Macs, but since I don't have a Mac, I couldn't test them--one is MacOS X, and the other is iMAC. I believe that the subVereor and the milleniumFalcon styles came packed with the MacOS X file, for example. If anyone figures out how to make them work, or if I need to activate a file, please let me know. The board styles all work just fine, it's the Mac OS files that I'm not sure about.

If you still don't see anything that appeals to you, go to:

http://www.phpbbhacks.com/

On the left side of the page, under "Templates", click on "Templates Demo", and at the very top of the page that opens, select a style from the drop-down menu that opens when you click on the down-arrow in the window, where it says "select a style", and then click on "change template". There are zillions to choose from , and if you find one that you just can't live without, copy the name of it, and let me know, and I'll download that template and install it into the "Board Styles" folder on this board, so that you can select it for your very own.

Any questions?

Enjoy,
Tex
