I have enabled an option in everyones profile that will let you select a skin for the forum. At the moment there is only the default one and one that gives the forum the same solour scheme as the main site, but I may add some more in future. The NGFL colour scheme isn't done yet, I will probably change it a bit to make it look slightly better as I don't think it is quite right yet.
The only problem with this is that due to the way it works, it doesn't look like it's possible to have a different banner with each skin... as in the banner that has "report 2 admin" on it... because that banner is part of the headers and footers of the site, not one of the customisable images. It is possible however to change almost all the other images and have different ones for every skin, so I'll be playing about with that
Finally, I added a script that allows you to select which mini banner you would like to appear at the very top of the forum. The default one is the "your source for neo reviews" banner, but there are also a few others that I made - an old one klarkus made, then a couple of slightly crappy ones I did aaaages ago. If anyone else feels like making a banner, then let me know and I can add it to the script
I did mention the skins thing in the suggestions forum, but I thought I'd post it here so more people see it. Any suggestion then let me know!
edit: played with the colours and images a bit more, so now the NGFL colours scheme should look ok, still open to suggestion however.
Also, can anyone using firefox tell me if the width of the forum ever screws up occasionally? Now and then, when I load a page, the width kinda jumps out, so the tables in the middle are a bit wider than they should be, but if you refresh the page it goes back to normal (this never happens on IE though). I think I figured out why and fixed it, but if anyone notices this happening, please tell me... and let me know what page it happened on! It tends to happen to me on the main page more than anything.
