This is not possible with Forumer. Sorry.
If you want to change the skin on your forum, you'll just nee the CSS code.

Go to getskinned.co.uk or invisionize.com

YES you can install your own skins but not really the way you think it would be installed.

When you DOWNLOAD a skin NOT A CSS SKIN, you will have images. All you have to do is look for the css inside, rename it to *.txt, copy the text to your css.

Then for the images, upload them through imageshack and copy the url to the Skins and templates > Images Only in the admin cp.

When editing the title_sub and stuff (the bars), upload them. Copy the url and paste into the css. (You have to look for the exact location on where to put them though)

If you have any questions pm me.

Can someone explain how to change it to *.txt ?
Thanks.

There should be a file extension at the end of the filename (most likely .css). Change that to .txt
