unh?
you mean your Kirupaforum avatar? or phpBB Board ?
you’d rather go to a phpBB forum (I mean a forum ABOUT phpBB) cause this forum is powered by vBulletin, not phpBB…

It’s been a while since I have used phpBB (I run vBulletin now) but go to the admin panel and try looking up a user(yourself) and then just use html and what not to format all your stuff.
I’m not sure if that will work though… 😕

lol, yeah I used phpbb some time ago too 🙂 Don’t have a forum anymore…
I remember trying to install the cutom title mod from [phpbb.com](http://phpbb.com), I spent 45 minutes on it, and it didn’t work! 😛
I must’ve done somthing wrong 🙂

yea they got some really cool styles now, all you have to do is edit or create a new image with the same name which is called from the php script. i like vbulliten a lot better but phpBB is free 🙂

I like both PHPBB and OpenBB; Since I’m lazy, I use PHPBB (easier to skin), but OpenBB is more customizable.

I pick vBulletin over them all. They provide a bit more support here and there, phpBB didn’t answer any of my questions.☹

Hey, you can always help me design and manage my upcoming forum 🙂 It’s going to be pretty sweet.
