I used YaBB years ago and it had the ability to do basic html editing to seemlessly add board to web site.........I'm not seeing anything like that with SMF 1.08.
Am I missing it or did this feature bite the dust with convertion to SMF?
TIA

Its still there, go to theme and layout settings; then modify themes. The default is off-limits to manual modifications via SMF
I'm not seeing "modify themes" under "Themes and Layout setting"
Although I realized that I using SMF 1.07 and haven't updated as of yet.
I had a terrible time installing 1.08 and ended up using an auto installer through my web host but it is using 1.07.
Is this maybe why I'm not seeing the "modify themes" option?
Nope, the link must be different in RC3; try going to current theme and see if you get two links in the near top of the options
Ok found it, Modify the index template. (the main template) and Edit Theme.
A lot of this stuff is greek to me but I made some changes in several places such as bg colors and other changes in text boxes, saved changes but there not showing up.........Hum?
Help pls.
If its background colors that you want to modify, simply edit the style.css for the theme you're using. It is all documented/commented to help you figure out what you're changing, and with the lastest release of SMF at least, you can see the changes realtime in a preview window as you edit it through the admin control panel.
Well I edited the style.css and that made a lot of good changes but It's still not right. I still have a outside perameter of white which I want changed and there are a few of the boxes that still have the original color's and I cant' find where to edit them......Hum?
Well, I'm still struggling here, any help would be greatly appreciated. I still haven't found the file that control's the borders for the overall margins of the site. I'm still getting an approx 5px white margin.
Also, on the bottom of the page in the text boxes where it say's: members, forum stats and users on line......I haven't been able to find where I can change the color of text box.
Pls help, TIA
I think editing the style.css file is probably what would help out to. It's in the theme folder of the theme you are using, or in the default one.
I've been all over all the style.css and changed all the white to the site color but the border margin continues to be white.........Hum?
Can you supply a screenshot or a link perhaps. ???
