Forum:Forum skins

I want us to have a fancy skinned forum like at Inside Wikia! Does anyone know how we could set one up? -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 13:00, 17 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

No idea but full steam ahead! This wouldn't be daunting and confusing will it - it could cause mass head explosions (mostly on my part) if it is. --Testostereich • (ballsack) 15:41, 17 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

its an extention wikia have installed, it doesn't copy over the threads to the new forum, but, if thats a problem we can always replicate it.--Silent Penguin 14:22, 18 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

That's what we did with the Proboards move so I can't see there being a massive problem in that respect - I'm sure nobody would object to a bit of a clear out of the older topics, keeping the most important. I wonder which bits of the skin are customisable? It'd look really cool with a banana yellow background... -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 19:48, 18 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

It's phpBB based, and from the threads there, it seems you can get it installed by asking on the wikia-l mailing list. Just note we want the old forum wiki pages left in place and they should leave them as-is. Then we can label the old forum an archive and direct people to the new for new postings. --The Divine Fluffalizer 21:01, 18 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

Hm. Right now I'm the only one on the mailing list as far as I am aware. Any specifics about what we have to ask? -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 12:26, 23 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

As far as I know phpbb is completely free and I would be happy to set it up for you guys =). I need to do some research on how to set it up firstZartla 02:56, 6 Octodest 2007 (UTC)
