    Forumotion offer a grand theming service for forumotion clients. Hitskin.com is the only place to get compatible forum skins for forumotion forums.

    Here is the ultimate tutorial on how to get themes from hitskin to your forum.
    I have separated installing from hitskin and installing for your admin panel.

    Installing from Hitskin.com

    First things first time to go to Hitskin.com and browse the available themes for your forum.

    after clicking the "see more" button we open the previews to all the themes uploaded on hitskin.com
    We can also use the built in search feature that can find themes in a specific color , language or even phpbb version

    So you've been browsing ... once you notice the theme you want on your forum just click the image or the title of the theme. You will be redirected to the general information page about the theme of your choice.

    After you are certain that the theme you picked matches all your specifications, it is recommended you preview the theme. You can preview the theme by clicking the image on the left or by clicking the Hitskin - how to install properly Previe10 button. The preview redirects you to a test forum... here you can click the buttons, you can see what topics look like and how well a theme works

    Once you have made your pick, and you are fully satisfied, we may proceed to installing the theme.

    Exclamation If you don't have your own forum yet ... no problem just click the start my forum with this skin button. You will be redirected to the forumotion forum starter page.

    After clicking the install buttons members are redirected to their admin panels...

    Installing a theme from my admin panel



    Many people get this one wrong... So here is the ultimate guide on how to properly install a hitskin theme from the comfort of your administration panel.

    Step 1
    accessing your admin panel
    Go to: Admin panel -> Display -> Choose a theme
    you will be welcomed with this page:

    You will notice 2 tabs: the default themes and a hitskin tab. We will be installing a theme from hitskin so we click that tab. We will be redirected to the theme selection list:

    Step2
    choosing a theme

    Installation

    The thumbnail should light up and a preview will be shown below. Scroll down to the preview and see if it looks nice on your board. Now on your preview you shall see a top bar like this:
