I use proboards and I can help you with the colors if you'd like me to. I singed up under Zenoah. I wish to help...it looks like you really want this forum.
If you wish to, you can give me rights to just the forum colors and such and I'l fix it up for you.

Looking at the color changes made, you still need a lighter text in my opinion. You have dark colored text on a dark background...I had to move closer to my screen to read it.  What also might help is if you shrink some of the images...the banner one for example.  The screen capture you have there has been stretched too large and its pixelated.  You want to use good quality captures from the dvd to make the forum look professional.  Those could be some reasons why the guests decide not to post.

I only have it on video, and I have WinDVD, but the specials features like capturing screenshots expired, and |prt scr| button dosen't work. It just copies a black screen.

^ Not a good idea.  The GOF used to look like that back in the day, back when that was a pretty dumb idea.  I wouldn't do that today.

I've gone to invision for the forum, I've gotten the hang of being an admin under invision.

http://z15.invisionfree.com/Pebble_and_Penguin/index.php?

I've gotten a skin choose, and all the images added. The "add reply", "edit", "delete" and such are temporary ones. Hope this one dose better, I'll have notifty everyone that joined the other that it has been moved to the link above. I've noticed that forums with invision get more (active) members than ones under probards.

Tremors Underground and the old happy feet forum prove this, tremors has 8 to 10 active members, and the old happy feet one dosen't have any. I won't be deleting the old forum until all the users there have joined the new one, and I will let the forum open a few more days before I close it. This WILL be the last time I switch, this one will NOT be deleted.

Please note that the announcements section can only be viewed by members, and the same rules that apply here, apply there.

Okay, I've got the link submitted (they'd better add it) to imdb and I've posted a link to it on Pebble and the Penguin's talk page at wikipedia, hopefully someone will put it on the article, since that's what I request... wait, its on the spam list, dang it! :anger

You already know my opinions about the switch, and I guess you're ok with that.  I would say that those who first come to the board and find a Pebble and the Penguin logo and some guidelines with Vixen on them are going to be mighty confused as to what the board is really about.

as for the farthing wood pic, there aren't any pebble and the penguin ones I had the text would show up on, but I'd might as well remove it before anyone visits.

Just wondering 2 things:

1) How do I give rights to users?

2) How do I add moderators to a specific forum?

well you should have the ability to add mods and admins since you run the board, and as for rights. those should be spelled out in the rules, ie, members may post, edit post etc..
Winner of these:


Runner up for these:

I do have the rights, but where do I go? I went to the Edit/Find/Suspend User and Modify Boards Control Panels, wasn't in there where I can make a user a moderator of that forum. All that is in the place where I place a user in a group is:


Members
Global Mods
Admins
Banned
Valdating


There isn't one in the drop down box for moderator.


EDIT: How do I add a background image for the site, I copied the proper code, and placed it in the spread sheet, didn't show up? Or dose it go in the wrappers?


Also, how do I add/delete/edit these images in the header?

Moderators are forum moderators if they are not global moderators.  You add moderators by selecting that on the side panel and then selecting which forum they should moderate.

I've already answered your image question in a PM.  I've no clue about the images in the header.  I don't know if you can do anything about those.
