How can I get my forum style like this?

[aaka]

Alright, this is a pretty common style that I've seen in forums lately, but I really like it! I want to know if there is any coding or any way for me to get this similar style to my forum. Just click on the link to see what I am referring to.

grassbeneathmypaws.proboards.com/

mercypack.boards.net/

Really, I just want my boards style similar to that. I especially like the first and last two. 


Thank you!!

Seems every link you posted has a different template layout and theme going on with different unique aspect to each so I can't direct you to a specific theme. However, have you looked through our theme library. You can find different themes, which often include customized template or you can check out our template library which changes the layout of your forum. You can find both of these libraries in your administration panel and you can download them directly to your site.

I know I gave a wide variety, but would there be anything that could get my forum to maybe have any of those sort of structures? I've looked at the library several times and I haven't found anything. I've also looked in the themes, the very top one - yellowstoners.boards.net has a theme that is from the library. I already talked to the creator of that theme, but no luck. So I am coming to the support board. I just really want something that will make my boards look like any of the one that are in the links above, whether that be a code or a plug-in that I possibly couldn't find.

You could check out the "Theme Library" And find the theme you like.
Admin Panel>Themes>Theme Library

aaka said he/she looked in the theme and template library but I'm surprised she/he (sorry, don't know your gender, lol) didn't find something. You can also look at that first site here that says they take template request and they have a lot of interesting layouts in combinations with themes, there:

support.proboards.com/thread/323165/forums-skin-template-requests

Otherwise you are making it very difficult for me because each of those sites are so different and I have no idea what parts you like about the sites. Perhaps pin-point the things you like about a couple of them and we can go from there. Otherwise, I might start telling you how to do something and that might be a part you don't really like. Sorry, not trying to be difficult but I have no idea where to start to help you.

The layout aaka wants looks like the layouts in these themes:love struck, and deep purple has those formats as well.
With exception of flashing banner wich is in:
blue inked parchment, it has the same body format

These themes are located in the library.

I appreciate everyone helping me, but I don't want to do a layout. I have a certain style in mind for my forum and I don't have the ability or authority to practically configure a theme. But, hopefully somebody will be able to help me with this- How can I get my website forum to have that cubed look to it? xD

Like, for my forum boards I want them to be cube/square shaped and whatnot. I really like that look, and I've yet to find a code or anything that would provide that. How can I get it? Thank you!

If you are wanting your category sections without rounded corners you can go to:

 Admin>Themes> Advanced Styles & CSS> Visual Editor>Body (Content)>Containers>Title Bars and set the Border Radius to 0px and then in the drop down select the one that has no rounded corners. You can do the same for Content Areas and Content Area Containers.

If you like the border-like background that goes around/behind the whole forum, switch from the Visual Editor to the Style Sheet tab and add this to the bottom of your style sheet:

/* border around forum */

#wrapper{background-color:#bbccbb; padding:8px; margin-top:10px;
}

On one of those sites their border-background had a gap above it so that is what the margin-top: 10px's does. If you don't want that, remove that bit. You can of course change the background color to the hexadecimal color you want and the padding is so more of the color shows around the edges of the forum body.

If this isn't the square look you are looking for then you will need to give more detail as I'm still somewhat guessing. And to describe it link to the site and then tell me something like, "see the blue color above such and such text" or something to give me more of an idea.

Hi Soundsman, Welcome to ProBoards!

I can't speak for InterOcean's design but I highly doubt they will let anyone have their costume design that probably took hours and hours if not days or weeks to create. I can say that with a fair amount of certainty because it is an exceptional design and if I were them, I'd never let anyone else use it.

Have you checked the themes in our library or made a request here or in any of the sites I linked to? You may have to join their forum to place a request. Keep in mind, making a theme request here, you'll have to have patience as doing a custom design always takes a lot of work and since we are all volunteers here, time can be a problem.

You can browse the themes in our library by going to your administration panel and then you can load them directly to your site with very little effort on your part or you can go to the link below and browse the themes there before downloading them or request a theme:

support.proboards.com/board/82/themes

For a banner, you can make a request here: (Please read the rules of each board before requesting.)

soundsman You can take a look at Adoxography or Gangnam-style as they provide several coding pieces to achieve certain looks without having to use a whole pre-made layout or theme. You would need to create an account and take a look around and of course credit the original creator if you happen to use any of their codes.
