Nice mod, I have a couple sites using same software, I would really like to customize them, but I think its a lot more complicated than just altering the CSS or am I wrong? Did someone here do the customization thereself? Im just curious as to the level of difficulty and amount of time it would take me to to, Im afraid I would just end up wanting to bash my head into the computer trying to figure out where i screwed up the code, lol. Phpbb seems pretty complex to me when I try to follow the flow of the code. (Yeah Im pretty noobish at php code). I Coded one site & maybe got a few dozen pages of code then downloaded phpbb & saw the 3000+ pages of code & was like :Link?: :fever: :confused:

I modified the default stylesheet to match the original Totse, then used a plugin called phpBB Sitemaker to do the side bars. All in all it probably took me about an hour and a half with all the perfecting to make the BBS side look is nice as it does.

Fun fact about New Totse: I also made a Red Fern theme, and had plans to make a Zoklet theme.
