Layouts?

[dmknights]

Is it possible to make my forum look more like a CMS rather than a forum with certain sections?

[Bellardia]

It's possible to do anything, just depends on how much you're willing to work/pay for it.

Check the styles section, or consider doing some custom work.

can you possibly give me an idea of what i need to look for please

[Bellardia]

What do you mean?
There's a whole section of styles https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=212 ...
Find one that suits your needs.

well ive searched, but i can only see different kinds of colours!
ive got no idea how to change the look of the home page

[Bellardia]

Homepage is stored in a variety of templates, if you want to change the organization of the forums and threads you'll have to edit at least the following templates.

FORUMHOME:
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Threadbit Templates
threadbit
threadbit_annoucement
threadbit_deleted



Although you could avoid editing a few of those, you'd have to edit all of them to achieve a fluid feel.

I've done a few custom themes with the styles you're after but haven't released them public yet. I may be able to help you a bit or make other arrangements ;)
