I feel awful doing this so soon...

Hello there.

I feel like a traitor joining a zetaboard resource forum so soon after iPBFree's demise, but I have a forum to run and run it I will.

So, who am I? I'm Phovos (more commonly known as Phovos the Raptor, or LK in some places), admin of Budding Writers v2, the newly created Invisionfree version of Budding Writers, a hugely loyal fan of iPBFree and currently a very sad and angry person.

I came here looking for information on how to have more than one skin available to use on a forum, and some tips on how to make IF skins, since my iPBFree skins all need some converting.

Thank you,

-Phovos

Welcome to ZNR!
I've never used iPB before so I dunno how you feel. :P
But, I hope you're enjoying yourself here.

Satanix! *hugs* No, I don't know. Tom said it was because of legal reasons, and legally can't tell us why.

Thank you for the welcome, pokegirl_g!

Well, luckily for us, the guys here are just as nice. And the Zetaboards software is as easy, if not easier to use. Skinning and coding is quite different though :/.

Hey, welcome to the Zathyus Network :)

Take a look here for various options with regards to a skin selector for InvisionFree forums, or alternatively you may want to consider using ZetaBoards instead as this option is a standard feature.

Why not open a ZB test board to have a play around, and if you decide that it suits your community needs you can easily convert your current InvisonFree forum to ZB with just a few clicks while preserving all members, login details and forums, topics and posts.

Hey there, Phovos. Welcome to the Invisionfree/Zetaboard world. :yes: I'm sure you'll grow to love it.

If you want more then one skin on your forums you'll have to upgrade to the ZetaBoards software, it allows you to have multiple themes, and has a bunch of other nifty features.

If you need any help with anything, be sure to speak up! :feline:

Thank you everyone. I chose invisionfree due to not wanting to have to convert all my skins, but I will consider ZB since you have that nice link on the admin CP.

I'm going to need another test forum anyway, since forumofdoom.ipbfree.com is also gone.

Eh, no worries. I'll work it out soon enough.

I'm just very glad that IF and iPBFree stylesheets are very similar.

Hello Phovos! I remember you from Invision forums! such a sad moment for us all :(...i had 2 forums which are no more :(

I chose IPB because of the support forums there, and I think you will find the same kind of support here, which matter the most. I hope you have luck in re-creating your community :) xx

I sadly do not know what happened with IPB for those wondering, I do know there are alot of unhappy forum owners out there, so im hoping more come here so that we can rally round each other and help each other to re-build too, alongside our new friends here :)

Alot of hard work ahead in the next few days. I am lucky in that I do have a chatroom, so all my users still have a place to chat.

Onwards and upwards :) xx
