Theme creation for forum (forumactif)

Solved/Closed

Hello,
I created a forum about skateboarding a month ago.
I would now like to create my own forum theme.
Forumactif supports phpBB2, phpBB3, and PunBB formats; I don't know what that means, could someone explain?
First, I want to know if it's easy enough or if it requires knowledge in computer design?
I would then like to know if there are tutorials to learn (quickly if possible) how to do it?
And if these two things don't exist, do you know of a site that would list themes for forums in the format: phpBB2, phpBB3, or PunBB?
Thank you in advance for your responses that will solve my problem, as usual.

PS: I hope I posted in the right section of the forum.
Configuration: Windows XP Opera 9.50

Hello teddyyy_14,

know that there is nothing simpler than the forums at https://www.forumactif.com/ !! you absolutely do not need any knowledge in design and even less in CSS to create the theme of your active forum!!
you can create your theme simply via the administration panel of your forum (admin panel >> Display >> Image Management >> Advanced Mode) there you will find a brilliant system that forumactif has put in place!! it classifies all the images making up the theme of your forum into 6 categories, with the entire content forming the theme of your forum. This system allows you to download directly the image of your choice with a simple click to the place you want on your forum, either from your PC or from an internet address! the forum automatically handles placing them where they should go, thus forming the theme... magical!! so no need for CSS knowledge or anything else...!

if you're really struggling to do this, know that forumactif.com offers you free designers who can take your theme order and create it for you custom-made!! crazy stuff
here is the direct link where you can place your order: https://forum.forumactif.com/themes-complets-f22/

otherwise, as a last cherry on top, I recommend the site https://en.hitskin.com/ which provides thousands of themes for free classified in categories and directly adaptable to forumactifs with phpBB2, phpBB3 and PunBB versions!!

if with all this you can’t find your happiness... lol

Good evening, this is my first time on this forum and I find it very nice and very informative.

However, I would like to ask you a question;

Can the proposed themes be transferred to any forum, even those managed by another provider??

Thank you for your response.

phpBB2, phpBB3, and PunBB are forums written in PHP.
The forums use predefined styles via CSS files, just like regular web pages.
If you have access to the root directory of your forum, you can modify the appearance (colors, shape, layout) of your forum by editing the corresponding CSS files.

Do you know a tutorial to learn CSS?
Is it long? Complicated?

Personally, I don't know any, but my friend Google has loads: https://www.google.fr/search?q=Tutoriel+pour+apprendre+le+Css&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&gws_rd=ssl

It takes a while if you want to redo the entire site design, but if you just want to change the color and background images, it should be within the reach of any beginner in just a few minutes...

Hello,

If you plan to modify the CSS of your forum, start by learning a bit about XHTML and then CSS; that's a piece of advice.

Good luck!!

Hi, I think this is possible because you are actually just transferring the theme, so you insert the theme's address into the site of your choice (or your forum)!
