I am going to write a few tutorials on skinning a forum. Which aspects of the skinning process are you most interested in learning about ? Preferably Graphics related, as my coding knowledge isnt the best

Well, the main suggestion I could make would be too screenshot a default forum and open it up in Photoshop/PSP/Gimp and then modify it as you go along.
Make sure you use plenty of layers for each individual aspect, background, menubg, menu buttons, etc so you can easily make modifications as you along and fix anything you dont like.
Also getting inspiration from other forum designs, and even websites can help too.

Hopefully not Im hoping it just expands the pages, rather than disrupting the codes.
