what text editor did you use when creating the template for nextbbs? I decided to look at some of the template files today, but [i]Crimson Editor[/i] doesn't really seem to know how to syntax colorize .tpl files. It only catches a few things to colorize. I mean, I know I could just choose 'html' from the syntax list, but if there was another editor out there that reconized .tpl files, that would be cool :cool Without colorization, I might as well be using Notepad lol

Hmm very good question. I've been using VI but indeed a more friendly editor would certainly be a good thing. Let me do some research...

One more question, which template changes the 'skin selection' drop-down menu? I want to add another skin to it :cool Right now, I'm just doing changes to #1 which is 'watermelon', but it would be better if I could leave that skin intact and just add another one to the drop-down menu. ****** One more question, I changed the background-color in [b]style.css[/b] to black, but I don't see the changes. It still displays #667788 as the background, instead of #000 :blink

To do it manually, use this SQL statement: [code]INSERT INTO bb_skins (server,skin_name,skin_description) VALUES('1','your_skin_name','a description for your skin');[/CODE] Now, retrieve the new skin's ID: [code]SELECT MAX(skin_ID) FROM bb_skins;[/code] Create a directory based on the resulting output and store your skin there. Now, regarding the background thing, not sure...you'll have to do some more research yourself :blushk
