Smangii's Guide to a ProBoards Skin for v4

Very helpful, although for newbies the big lines of code can be daunting. It sort of makes newbies think it is way to complicated.
if you think these are big lines of code, you should see some of the info centers and mini profiles and main page mods
These are only simple JavaScripts and CSS, which doesn't slow the forum down at all.

I'm afraid if i tried to code something I would blow something up.
My personal suggestion is for you to make an account here and check out other code. It gives you actual insight on how things work and if you continue doing so you will be able to make your own stuff on the fly.
Done!
I actually have been looking at other codes and adjusting them and playing around to get a better grip on what I want to do. I'm still figuring things out though, and I still dont get how to constrain the second background to a specific pixel width, which is what I'm trying to understand. Help?

Hi! I've been tasked with doing a few forums for people because I do well with making graphics, so this site has been like a shinning beacon of hope for me. I have a question about the second backround though. I was wondering if there was a way to adjust it to a certain pixel width. I've been using this code here for different skins, but when using this there is a very wide second backround, and if I adjust the width in the second backround code you're using here, it displays weirdly for people with smaller resolutions than mine. I think setting a specific width for the second backround would fix that? But I dont know how to code myself yet, just tweak codes I find.I'm afraid if i tried to code something I would blow something up.

Yeah, I was changing percents, and having issues with the way that smaller percents displayed on people's smaller resolutions. For some reason I never tried changing "92%" to "800px", which is what I wanted: constraining it to a specific pixel width. Lets chalk it up to a dumb blond moment from me and call it a day

It happens I probably should've made that a bit clearer, it can get confusing when you try to accommodate others' monitor resolutions.
I only used 92% because it was the default ProBoards forum width.

This is the first time I've put the effort in to reading this, such as great job on this Smangii. You must have huge amounts of patience.
I actually had about 24 hours with absolutely NOTHING to do, so I figured why not, since it has been something I've always wanted to do
And thanks for reading =D

I was wondering if anyone knew how to make the forum look more like a newspaper. Separate the categories into three or more parts and put two groups next to each other... kind of like this.
Thanks,
O.M.

You are welcome
In response to above, there are many private message codes that you can add to your forum too.

The tutorial is great, but I have a few questions.
Most of the codes won't work for me, I input them, and they disappear. Does anyone know why?
I'm a beginner, still trying to wrap my head around coding, it's quite possible that I have just done something wrong, but, as the saying goes, "The first step to remedying ignorance is to admit it." So, admit it I have, and I hope to get my problem resolved.
