Okay I'm really new to all this. I'm trying to figure it all out and such but I'm not sure. I've got a few questions if anyone could help me out that'd be so cool!

-Is there a way to change the main text like the font and color on the board.

-I was kinda wanting to start making skins but I am so lost...any tips?

-How do you add a picture as a background?

-How do you change the buttons by the forums the little...ipb buttons?

-I've got a board about vampires and I am looking for a cool skin for that if you think there's one out there that you've done or seen do you think you could point me in that direction?

I know these are all pretty basic things and most like a "Duh" kind of thing but I have no clue. lol Again if anyone could help I'd apperciate that so much!

Find this part in the begining of your CSS:
Code:
 
BODY { font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #000; margin:0px 10px 0px 10px;background-color:#FFF }

And replace it with this.

BODY { font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #000; margin:0px 10px 0px 10px;background-image: url(http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/1038/s3fb2.png) }


Edit the red with your image URL. :)

And to edit the buttons, go to your admin CP>Images. Then, go to a free image host like Imageshack or Photobucket and host your files. Then, edit this part

<img src='http://i1.ifrm.com/10015/193/upload/p1563041.jpg' border='0' alt=''>

with your new direct image link.

Also, if you are trying to find a skin, use our Skin Ticket System and the Skin Services Team will try to find a skin that matches the description you posted. ^_^

And now, since you got your answers I'll close this topic to avoid spam. ;]
