The simplest way is to edit one of the exsisting default_style.css files found in the css_styles directory and place it into a new folder in the css_styles directory This in the admin area in the skins page type in the path to your new CSS folder to apply the new css style sheet. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Borg,
It seems like there is not much of the difference in the skin for default or the classic skin and (the other one I forgot). I didnt see anything different.
The only difference I see is the dark background.

| I think they are just there to give you an idea and a little more option. It could be worse, could just have 1 skin. |

Old skins will not work with v9.x. v9 has come out with a whole new css and image format.

Yes, that's what I meant. http://forum.dailyhaha.com/ - I came across this forum that was on V8 and was under the impression that it was an option of webwiz.
So now that I'm on a forum that just switched to V9 was surprised that it didn't have it. Would you happen to know a time frame as to when this would be possible? Thanks in advance PS-The admin made a different skin from what comes as default on V9, but quite boring. The single "select skin" modification is something that I haven't seen on many forms and a great addition. Did I already say that? |
