Hello,
Changing skins will not cause you to lose the posts on your forum

I am absolutely positive that you will not lose your posts if you change the skin.

You can test out all the phpBB skins HERE to see which ones you like. If you want to experiment with the skins and colors on your forum before you wish for anyone to see it, you can temporarily turn your board offline under Admin CP > General Admin > Configuration > Disable board (although visitors will still be able to see part of your skin.)
