Coding Well Forum

So if you want to work on a theme for the forums of your own, post here.

Say what you want the name to be and the copyright.

I'll set it up, PM you the login info. And post here how to "Preview" your style.

You'll be transfering files using FTP

Little tutorial about FileZilla an FTP Client:
http://www.velnetsupport.co.uk/parrots/FTP/Filezilla/

The setup here will differ, but hopefully you can figure it out. Else, Ask.

PS: I've been working on one of my own... index.php?style=4 (Not very far though.)

How would one go about making a new style? Is any coding required? If so, how hard is it to code a style?

ya... i want to make one... i already have login so i just need write permitions to that folder...
A copy of the current theme would be a great launcing point

Coding is involved. (HTML & CSS) + Image Editing

And RoboPanda, this will be a new login name. But to know what to call it I need a name for the style.

And a copy of current theme is standard.

Sample Code:

Code: Select all

The Panda Style:
index.php?style=5

I'm not seeing the panda theme in the preferances section.

thats because its inactive, because he hasn't done anything yet. The link above is a way to see what hes done.

i havn't done anything on the net yet... i am doing it mostly locally then i will upload most of the images simotaniusly and start playing with the actuall css...

That link dosn't seem to work for me either...

What, it gives a forum that looks exactly the same?
