ok, the problem with phpbb is, have you ever had multiple skins and tried to mod it? you have to install the mod to each skin, and some skins have a weird design, and gets pretty messy

for this reason i will NOT use phpbb

That is one problem I have with it, but it's not a huge problem, just annoying.

to me its a pretty big deal, i like to offer 3-4 themes to members of my websites, and let them chose

Yeah, I've installed mods on forums with as many as 7 themes, it's more or less finding the pattern.

I agree with the skin issue. It's a pain. Not hard to do, not as hard as writing the mod, but sooo much more boring.

Sorry to ask unreleated question, where do you guys find good looking themes for phpbb or PNphpbb?

I usually try to make them

Ok I must explain my vote... I went with Simple Machines purely because I like their looks better! Especially if that was an out of the box configuration. Nice and different. But I have never used any of them before in my life!

What tool do you use?

I'm a web graphic noob so I need WYSIWYG programs to create it ( also I'm too lazy to edit PHP codes by hand ).

[boblucci]

i use phpbb2.

i dont really kow why i just use it.

i'm not really a hacker ( i could make small mods but i dont "code&quot i jut picked one that was easy to install and administer. i liked the way phpbb looked so i went with that.

plus my host is phpwebhosting is i wanted to keep the theme going
