Hi people, great looking site, full of loverly mad people.

Been trying to build a half decent site with a phpBB Forum.
I'm a rank beginner, so if you visit my site, feel free to make sugestions on how to improve it.

Thinking I might use one of the Templates from here, if that is ok.??

Heheh, thanks for the welcome peeps.

I am thinking of using ClanzDarkness2 on my site, and I swear that yesterday I saw a little HowTo on how to put my own Pics into the header.
But I am damned if I can find it again.

I also do not know how to replace the wrongly spelt Search button. Or how to ADD more buttons.
This FLASH stuff is new to me. Heheh, lets face it, at 58 everything is new to me.

Anyway I will keep looking until some nice kind person points me in the right direction.

Thanks, all done. Not exactly professional, but I think only a keen eye will notice.

I must start studying some of those tutorials on Photoshop.

HI, good to know that i am not the only noob around here
noobs rule!!!!
To change the picture just modify the header picture in photoshop

Hi Icer, I'm not very clued up on PS, so just kind of cut the piece of pic I wanted, and moved it over the top of the existing pic.

It is a simple and a good way to do get the job
done u can also try to use filter>blur and marque tools to add finishing touches

Very cool sight indeed!!! Love the Vb style(linked from vbulletin.org which is how I discovered this place!!). Am a new admin of vb3.5.0 but the forum is 'private'(specific audience only) thus no 'link'. Want to learn this php stuff - familiar with C and assembly so hopefully 'learn curve' won't be too bad!!

See You Have 'Tutorials' - if 'online' chances are you'll find me there.

So, I'm not stealing if I use BP-Brown for my board???

Am running a 'pirate theme' - anyone remember the look of 'Pirate Den'??. (this is close, but definately better!! Could use directions to 'avatars/logos/etc. . . '

Thx For Offering A Great Site, see Ya Again soon!!!

Bugs (happy my usual 'screen name' avail too!!!)
