UK discussion forum needs fresh skin?

[kjhkjh]

I'm after a cleaner, crisper look for this UK discussion forum (http://www.opencity.co.uk)

Am happy to keep the logo, green top menu and header banner ad, but want to liven up the stuff below.

At the moment I have ultimate side columns hack and the right column is in use displaying UK cities (http://www.opencity.co.uk/forums/index.php) so if a new skin or design is to be used, a navigation for the cities will have to be deployed.

I really like the thin borders of the skin that NamePros (http://www.namepros.com/) are using. They also have a nice right column which allows a quick registration which is obviously great for getting new members to sign up.

Can anyone recommend a skin that looks great with my logo, and header? Possibly similar to that at name pros

All help appreciated.

I found it very hard to understand, whats it about? you need a new homepage

Hi Barry

Thanks for your thoughts.

It's true that the main page isn't much like a homepage, instead it's just a bunch of cities.

But this I'm happy with at the moment.
I really want the main page to be just a bunch of UK cities (more added later). Eventually I might add some php or javascript to remember users' choices and will then send them straight through to their city's forum.

With the site being aimed at people in the UK they will most likely feel familiar with those cities and be able to pick one or at the top it says "choose your closest city or click here"

Clicking here will take them to the vb homepage.

It's the vb homepage that I'm interested in changing.

Here's the direct link to the UK discussion homepage (http://www.opencity.co.uk/forums/index.php) of my site that I'm looking for skins etc.

If someone can help with that bit it would be great. My first post here describes the stuff that I'm looking for.

Thx

Is this a paid request?

[kjhkjh]

It didn't start out as a paid request.

I was just looking for help finding skins and finding out how they worked and where I can get one similar to the NamePros one.

If anyone can help me by pointing me in the right direction then that would be great.

(If someone has a great skin - that they are selling, I will take a look also)

Thanks

Still looking for help with this.

Can anyone suggest professional skins or give me advice on making them.
