    Re: Forum styles

    If you're using phpBB, two great sources for styles are phpBB.com and phpBBstyles.com. To install, upload the styles (each style's entire folder) to public_html/forum_directory/templates. Then go into your forum's admin panel and look for the styles management menu. Mine is modified and I can't remember the exact menu name, but poke around a little in there and you'll find the option to install the ones you uploaded.

        Just open BlueFTP, connect and navigate to your forum's template folder. Then browse to the location on your pc to which you downloaded the style(s). Click ONCE on the folder of the style you want to upload and select "Copy To" at the top of the screen (or just drag the folder from the left pane to the right pane). Make sure the style is unzipped.

            The developers are always working hard to bring us new features, just watch the forum and your email for new versions of Blue Voda.

                      Open Blue Voda. Go to Tools > FTP Manager (this is BlueFTP). Click connect. Then follow the instructions I gave you earlier. (Here they are again.)

                      Just open BlueFTP, connect and navigate to your forum's template folder. Then browse to the location on your pc to which you downloaded the style(s). Click ONCE on the folder of the style you want to upload and select "Copy To" at the top of the screen (or just drag the folder from the left pane to the right pane). Make sure the style is unzipped.

Once you have downloaded it you can transfer it to the directory containing the template files. You can then package the files for distribution or use elsewhere if you desire"
