Seriously stuck...anyone have any advice for me? x.x I want to add some styles, but Idk how...

Can you explain your problem in more detail? Do you have your own free website and cannot log into it, or perhaps, it's not loading for you?

I have a free website that I created that's specifically designed to be used with phpbb3. I'd read that it was the best free forum to make.

But now I want to upload some styles for the forum (layouts/themes/whatever), but I'm not sure how to. Apparently I'm supposed to upload them into the styles section of phpbb3 or phpMyAdmin, but the file on my computer isn't connected to the website I own, and I'm not sure how to connect the two...

I'm not sure which free website you're with, but you basically go to the administration panel, click the "Display" tab, select "Choose a theme" and you'll see some options there. If you want to use your own images, select "Pics management" on the left side and choose either simple or advanced mode.

Once you're happy with how the site looks, you want to make a backup. To do this, select "Skin management" then export your theme. This will save the settings on your drive and you can load them back in later if you make a mess. You should save the current theme as you work, save you losing your progress.

I created my own theme for this website. It took a long time, but was worth it. If you put effort into your site, make it look nice, fill it with content, keep download links updated, etc, people will want to visit it.

Tip: Put plenty of content into it before announcing it. It's no use announcing a website with hardly any content! (First impressions last!)

PS. It's nice to see you around again, Anzel! thumb

I think I should just give you a look at the admin control panel to see for yourself, it's different than a normal forum control panel because it's php-based...

Sending you a private message with the account name & pass :3 It'll have all the admin abilities.

Oh, and thankies :3 I just figured you know more about computer than I ever would :3
