Hello!
I'm wondering if (and how) it's possible to enable the regular members of a forum to have their own themes without this affecting the other members?

Thanks in advance,
Az

Well what is your forum version? For phpbb2 forums its possible by a little bit of template editing. Its a css changer.

I actually do not know. I THINK it's phpbb2, but I'm not at all sure, it behaves differently in some ways. Where can you find the version?

I mean, convert the type of the forum, not just the theme?

I mean, convert the forum from an invision-based board into a phpbb2-based board without losing information such as members or posts?

Hello,

you can change the version at any time without loss of data -- you will just have to choose a new theme/skin Wink

Admin Panel>Display
There you will see theme version > Select Phpbb2 > Save.
Sanket or ankillian will then further assist you, as I do not know the edits to the phpbb2 templates to make Wink

At this point of time, the theme changer can only install various phpbb2 skins.

So even phpbb3 is a no-go? Because I heard phpbb2 was relatively easy to hack and grief.

Thanks for all the quick answers by the way, you guys are great! Very Happy
