Okay so I just set up a forum for a place I role play in when I mess with second life. I created forums before but it was years ago so I might as well be a newb. Anyway I have it all set up and such but I have no idea how to make it look better and all that jazz. So, if people could point me towards tutorials, explain how I could make it look better, give me tips, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated and feel free to PM me thanks

Hey there! First, let me point you over to the Administrator Documentations. These are documentations that can be used by the administrators to improve their boards. These guides describe for instance board management, tips, premade canon lists and anything else that can help board administrators in making a successful board!

Next i'd like to point you too is; Admin CP Documentations. These handy documentations are a step to step guide to the Admin CP, learning how to add images, set up warnings etc.

Here you can discuss Ideas, such as things your thinking of adding, and how it may lay down and such.

Affiliates are a good way to Advertise, so make sure to check out this!

Having staff on your board is also a good way to populate it, as you can start RP'ing on it together, making the board more social and less empty, which can be a turn off. Here is where you can have a look at hiring staff.

Skins! every board needs a skin! Take a look here if you haven't already looked into getting a skin :)

I think that just about covers it. Take a look around RPG-D, i'm sure there's lots of other helpful guides and such which can help you. Good luck! :rice:

Which sim?

And you said Invision boards, but that might not mean Invisionfree, so are you using a host, and if so, which one?

The SIM's name is the Republic Of Hayao. Don't tell anyone I'm trying to suprise the owner. Also I have no clue about any of this technical mumbo jumbo and directing me to a bunch of other places really wasn't what I wanted.

Basically I am looking to make the board look prentable. Adding side bars, getting it skinned, making a banner, etc. So basically its just your basic average forum but I want to make it actually look decent and presentable.I pretty much have the forum all outlined and set up so the next two steps are getting people from the SIM to join and making it look pretty.

Its not a place to role play its a community to help people connect, stay informed, discuss things, etc regarding that SIM in Second Life.

I have all my categories done, all my forums, and all my sub forums set up and ready to go. Other than that its about all I have come up with. I have a banner idea and a color scheme which is RED, BLACK, and YELLOW but I don't know hwo to change the colors of the skins or even how to set them up.
