However, you should realize "PHPBB" isn't a language, or something like that, it's just a template written using PHP (php.net is a good source for reference) (I think they supply the database portion too, not sure)

You should also be aware that the framework has already been completed, so there isn't much you can do to change the page unless you want to get into a lot of coding yourself.

But, the looks of that type of stuff is written using Cascading Style Sheets, so start there.

Not much else to say, really.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

This website was originally built on PHPBB actually. Scary_Jeff and Lep coded it at first (Scary_Jeff taught Lep to code). Now the website kinda runs itself, with the occasional decomposition of old rotting code!?

Not to mention, a few of its lowest numbered members.
