phpBB forums cannot really be customized. However, there are hints and tips on selecting a new skin in the phpBB documentation forum. Good luck.

Been there, destroyed that.

If you'd like tips on a more specific note I'd be glad to help- just PM me a question.

It is actually better for them to post their question in public. That way they can get accurate support.

Well, you gotta go to styles admin, and then you can istall the style you want. If you want to change the logo, you'll have to save/make one to upload, but make sure it's the right size...not too long...not too big, nor too small.

Then, go to forum admin, and this is where you can make the different threads and stuff.

That's pretty much it, really...you'll have to make a few usergroups and yourself an admin if you're not one already...e-mail a bunch of friends and have fun.

This is my forum:

http://the13thorder.8.forumer.com

And trust me, it took several hours before I figured it out.
