Hi Matt,

It sure has! The list has been *so* quiet lately. (That, or I'm not receiving most of the mail).


It's been a bit quiet around here of late, so I thought I'd ask for =20
advice on the above site.  I've uploaded a _very_ basic website to =20
http://www.helpmeimadad.com/ and as you can see, I'm not a designer at =20
all (I want it to be more rounded without becoming web2.bulls**t!!).

Good idea for a site, and good domain name :)

You could take the lazy option and get a template from somewhere to use, and just customise it a bit? You could cheat even more and use something like Joomla to run the site... there's plenty of templates for it, and it'd take care of plenty of features :)


The forums work and I want to keep them with the same topics etc, but =20
ideally I want to theme them so that they merge seamlessly with the =20
res of the site but without using iframes.

I think phpBB can be customised quite a bit - you should be able to add a custom header + footer to put it within your site design, and change all the colours etc to match.

BTW make sure you keep phpBB bang up to date... it's a common attack vector, there's been several vulnerabilities discovered in it over time.

Good luck with the site mate!

I had a quick Google, and you might be able to "borrow" ideas from some of these:
