A setting so member can't choose forum skin they prefer

Hello, I wonder if there got a setting where forum members can't choose skin that they want. Like, they can only use the default board skin. I'm thinking of making different skin for every section/category in the forum (that is related to the section content), but since the members can see the skin in the skin chooser, it will look messy. :X

This is my board link: http://chocofam.com

Thanks in advance for those who can help!

When you make a forum there is an option for this, look for "Forum Specific Skin" and set it to whatever you wish.

For any forums that you have already made, navigate to "Forum Sections" in your Admin Control Panel and click "Edit" for each forum. Scroll down and you will see the "Forum Specific Skin" option.

Yes I already know how to do what you explained.

But what I want to know is how to not allow members to choose the skins they prefer in the board index. Since I'll be making about 5 skins for each section/category and all of them are related to each category name, so if a member choose one of the skin I made for the section/category as their skin on the board index,it won't look nice.

it won't look nice for who?

each member choose a skin only for himself, not for entire comunity, a skin which will see only he, and if he choose one skin, it doesn't matter which one, that mean that skin looks very nice for him. :)

If member choose a particular skin, that choice is overridden when you choose a specific theme for a specific forum area

ie if member No 3 chooses skin x1 and in a forum you have set skin x6 as the skin for that forum that's what ALL members will see when using that area ie their choice is replaced by the skin you chose for that forum

When they return to the main index it will revert to the skin of their choice in that same way that I have as my theme here on this support forum "Midnight" but when I come to this Zetaboard Support Forum it is overridden by Zetaboards Original which has been set for this particular forum and by the skin set in the InvisionFree Support Area too

Disabling the use of a theme via the theme section, within the administration panel, will disallow its use within individual forum section.

The only option I can think of, is to request a modification to remove certain themes from the drop down chooser: http://resources.zetaboards.com/index/.
