The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Workin' on another fourm

I've noticed that there are no fan-made message boards for Bone. It's a sign that the fandom is pretty calm (at last I've found on >.< ), but I'd still like to get together with some others.

So, here it is The Valley?
However, it is a WIP, and I would REALLY like some help with the colors first. I think I can handle the pips and other icons on my own, but I would REALLY appreciate help with the forum's colors :) .

I plan on using lots of blue for sure.

Similar to the blues we use?  That would be pretty simple.  I'd just give you the style sheet.

Well, I want the main background to be about this color: 2c4768 , or something to match the color of the banner.
Then everything else should match. Plus I really want to get the banner centered and the 'curtain' behind it deleted.

EDIT
Oh yeah, the blues I was thinking of was definitely what I had in mind, but I'd rather not have the purple-blue color around the borders. Just some different shade of blue.

Picking a dark background would help as well.

Code:  on  
<p align="center"><img src="URL of image" border="0"></p>


That needs to be placed in the board wrappers section, not style sheet.

*Ahem* I may need some assistance again.
I've been giving my forum a MAJOR face-lift, and I need some help again.
How do I change to color of the member-groups name? (Like, how do I make the name of the admin red, and the regular member green?)
