So I added 2 new to choose between, and also changed the default one to Saphir template.

metal would be better if you could get it to center

[William]

Yeah I know, I liked that style before I noticed its on the left side. Anybody know ccs code or what its called?

[Robin]

I know CSS. Not much about skins though.

Well its only php, not CSS I think.

[Matt]

In the code for the skin, I think in the tpl files, like header, body, and footer is where you need to edit.

Try addong some center tags to each. Just put the opening of the tag at the top of the code and the closer at the bottom.

[William]

I dont know those code tags.

[Mithlomion]

Saphir owns.. Keep Saphir it fits really good and its really nice.

[Cruzn]

Open templates/metalBB/overall_header.tpl

Find:
Change to:

Find: (near the top)
Change to:

Find: (lots more code than this, we basically want to get rid of this junk since we are using a link to the main css)
Delete it!

Do the same thing with the last part in simple_header.tpl, too.

Should be all.

That is a very good site I will add things from it, please feel free to come with suggestions that can be added.

[Xlithan]

Make sure you back up the database and stuff first because once you stuff something up it's not easy to go back to it

Host a test forum first

[William]

Of course.

[Misunderstood]

metal would be nice if it didn't restrict the width of the page...but it does :\ I'm using the other skin, saphir.

[Robin]

I'm using the old one. It doesn't mess up when the page stretches (much) and is very wide!

Yes, I tihnk I would even change to the metal theme if it wasn't so slim.

Fix it william =P
