• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It should be

Although once you get a feel for all the files and where they are located, it becomes less of a hassle. Then you run into another problem when installing new templates: what mods did you install on the other ones?

I would suggest checking out XMB, which is based on one template, but can be manipulate and have different themes. However, it has some major draw backs, but I enjoy hacking it

I installed it on my site a little while ago. I would post a link, but I would get in trouble. I have found no problem installing mods. I also, use a template that I got from www.phpbb.com They offer free templates.

If you would like any help, ask me. I run many sites, and would love to help out.

P.S. I LOVE THIS NEW THREAD!!! - Webmasters and Developers!!!

There is a program called easymod which installs the mods for you, but there are only about 15 mods I have gotten to work with it.

Also I'd like to install a points and shop mod. If anyone has done this before please PM. I tried to install it but got it wrong so many times. If you have done it before and would like to do it again that would be great
