Please conduct a search next time as this ? has already been answered.

The skin, you can change in your Admin CP under, "Styles Admin", "Management", "Edit".

However, you can not download a skin and upload it or use it at this time.

Naw, your not stupid. Just copy and paste all of the stuff that is there, so, just in case you mess up.

Then, just mssa round with the colors listed there. Here is a good site for color codes:

where does he get the template and CSS sheet ? that is his question.

It defaults only to one template - sub silver. In case you need a different template where can you get it from????

Am I right Vana ? That is your question Right ??

^^ Thanks man.

1.) where does he get the template and CSS sheet ?
--Admin CP under, "Styles Admin", "Management", "Edit"

2.) In case you need a different template where can you get it from?
--At this time, you can not get another skin. You can however modify the colours in the section mentioned above. Soon, there will be over 30 different pre-set skins to choose from.

sorry Majicman, under PHPBB, there is only one skin -subsilver. Whereas your homepage gives a list of skins and it says these are available under Admin CP.

Under Phpbb - Styles Administration it says "The items on this list have not yet been installed into the phpBB database. To install a theme, simply click the install link beside an entry.

But thee are no "Install" button to click and there are no items. This is very confusing.

Thanks.

How can you provide a link in the phpbb forum to go back to my main site. I was able to do that under Invision Power., but the Admin CP has completely changed in the new phpbb forums.

It was easier to change the html codes in the earlier version but not able to do in the new phpbb forums. I want to create a link in the top so that my visitor can go back to the main site if he wants. How do I do this ??

Sorry this does not relate to skinning help.
