Forum pics

This is not a "support issue" slytherin as the forum software and images that you have are not faulty, but rather they are just not pleasing to your eyes

Asking Bruce to sort this out will not help as he is as probably busy, if not more so, than all of us. The images that you would like are out-of-date as far as this recent software goes
Can I make a friendly suggestion?

Have you not thought of perhaps making "your" website unique rather than a carbon copy of someone elses or of images that are from a package a few years old? I'll give you an example of how a modern web wiz forum can look but with different graphics

It obviously will not be what you want, but this person has created their own unique images in line with their software version. What you want to do is use older images that looked great in their day, but now would not suit a modern up to date software. Consider this:

Your forum is about Harry Potter and magic, so why would you want images that do not tell about the magic that your forum has? They should be fresh, new and alive, not dead and buried

If I get a chance, I'll create some images and try them on a test forum. If you like them, then we can work out an agreement. How does that sound?

Because we know each other I must speak and hopefully try to help you
When I first started with web wiz I did not understand the software either. Like everything in life it takes time to understand things, and this is just a learning experience for you

The software that you have is more secure than what you quote from dreuzels, but you cannot see that. Just because something works does not mean that it is safe, nor does it mean, that it can be easily configured to how you want it to be

You seem to keep on referencing other peoples sites and saying "I want this" I want that, but to be perfectly honest, that is Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work

Basically that means that you seem to be intent on making your forum look like a duplicate of someone elses, which means in my opinion, that hpmagicworld is not unique, which means that you are going to try and produce a carbon copy of someone elses success

Why?
A forum is about content, not so much about how it looks. It is about YOU, your members and what it has to offer

There is nothing at all wrong with the service you pay for, or have been provided. However, I'm sure if you feel somewhat dissatisified by the software, then you could try other alternatives and hope that someone has the patience and the enduring ability to copy another forum look and then give you what you want
