Total Overhaul

[trooperneedshelp]

I completely understand what a project and time consumption it would be, but I have been RPing since I was 13 on various forums. Recently, which is about 2-3 years, I been a moderator of an entire RP. I am sharing this to inform my experience in the RP world. The next step, since I cannot seem to separate myself from RPing, is to host a RP on my very own forums. I have high hopes of owning a very successful RP and forum, I plan to upgrade and potentially try to make a profit off the site, but all of this cannot be done if the forum itself isn't aesthetically pleasing. I am here outright begging for a, or some, awesome coder(s) to pitch a hand in designing a kickass template (I'll find graphic designers) to make this place look great.

Most places I RP on, the coders were also RPers so it was always done for free. I would greatly appreciate if that could occur for me, but I am more than willing to pay. Anybody willing to help? We can discuss in detail through PMs or Skype.

Thank everybody who at least considers this. ^^

Before anyone can help you we need a link to your forum. Just need to make sure we are talking about a ProBoards forum. Also, if this ends up being a paid deal please take it to pm's to talk details.  If someone wants to help for free then post here.

Trooper, You are going to have to give much more detail about what you are looking for if you want free help. Like what kind of RP. What kind of look you want. Colors you prefer, etc. Maybe link to some sites that already exist to point out what you like about them or make a rough drawing of what you'd like your site to look like.

That said, ProBoards is set up so you can actually do most yourself. If you indeed have a ProBoards site, we have libraries you can access via your admin panel for plugins, templates and themes. The possibilities are endless and with a combination of downloading templates, themes and plugins, you can probably do it all yourself with maybe a little help from us here if you get stuck on something.

Yes it is a proboards forum. --> w-a-r-pboard.freeforums.net/ (Name sucks, just something to hold before I update and can pick a domain) I have a name for when it occurs, which is Galley-La Company "GLC" RP. <--- May need some tightening up.

The kind of RP I want is One Piece. It will be completely text based and influenced through systems of battle and stories that I come up with. It will not be a dictatorship, the community will be capable of voicing their opinions and influencing the rules of the RP. As for colors, I am thinking like a cool combination of Blue/Black, red, orange setup. These colors are to resemble Iceburg from One Piece since he was the leader of GLC.

As for references, I do have a idea. I saw certain table layouts on other proboards that caught my eye but I also have certain alterations I want. Some I just want it replicated if that isn't a problem. I attached a document that goes over in detail what I am looking for. This is not exactly a small project, so I apologize. I would love to go into detail but the coder(s) that do decide to help me; it would be best to converse with them. That way I can express everything and not end up leaving something out.

Thanks trooperneedshelp,

I wish you luck getting someone to do it for free but you'd never know if you didn't ask.

I realize people may not want to download the document of the previous post, and overall it was just too much to ask for. I should take some responsibility on my own part. That is why I have also been through the Plugin and Theme index to do what I can do with my limited knowledge and capabilities. There are more I am seeking, but for now I am posting what I could not find through those indexes.

Can somebody please tell me how to create another menu (with dropbox navigation) underneath the first menu? In the link below, its a example of what I want. ALSO how can I change the font and center it to look much better as the link below shows? It would be great if I am told how to alter that, so somebody doesn't have to do it for me. Something to notify you guys, I already managed to make one dropbox navigation in the first menu.

Can somebody please tell me how to make my boards straight edges instead of the default round edges proboards have ? Like in this image?

In the two pictures above, you'll notice the difference that in my forums there are lines creating sections within my board? I want it to be One Row that has Five Columns. I also do not want to see the sections: posts, last posts, and thread. Pretty much, I like the reference post setup. Can somebody do or tell me how to get that layout and for it to occur for every board I create? Also how to edit the text, font, and css stuff (like bold, italic, etc) in these sections?

Also, how do I stylized and format my sub-forums like you see in the reference above. I am not necessarily asking for a replica from the reference above. Just how would I do this?

Lastly, how do I alter the text regarding font and size in the boards' titles?

Is there any chance you could 'wireframe' how you want your forum layout to be done? I'm more then happy to do the full design base if you'd be happy to make images

Hey I'm really sorry somethings come up offline (my grandad died), I won't be able to do this at this moment
