they have help areas on their forum. You will get better help there than you will here. They made it, they know how to skin it. ---

Simple way: 1. Download a style-zip file 2. Unzip it into /phpBB2/templates/ on your server 3. Enter the admin-mode on your phpBB-forum, and change the style (find the option in the menu) And yes, their page/forum is very informative. ---

I did once, but let me tell ya, it was the worst experience ever! For instance, to only change the colors of the forum, you had to change the RGB-code in a LOOOOT of places. I wish they had put the colors as globals, at least. Hmm, wait a minute, I just remembered that the new version of the forum comes with a color-editor. Just go into the admin-panel and I think its there. Yepp, Styles Admin -\> Create. Wow, that should make it simple and fast as h\*\*l !!! There is plenty you can change quickly here - colors, fonts, images etc. ---
