I am planning on setting up something along these lines as a revision for my current site.
Link. I'm not sure how flexible it might be for this though, so I've got a few questions to ask.
How easy is it to extensively modify in the display, and probably the code too. I am going for a pretty complex look, so it will hopefully look absolutely nothing like vbulletin in the end. I'll post a link to the new design if you want, but its sort of the colours I've got now, but with rounded sidebars and a rounded navbar.
Firstly, how easy is it to remove modules, so there are only 1 or 2 left. I'll probably only need log in, links to different pages (can this be user specified) and who's online down the sides. In the middle, I'll probably only need latest post (can this be set to just 1, and for just 1 category?).
Also, would it be possible to have another section lower down on the page, where I could have a post that rotates with other posts in the forum? Or, if this isn't possible is it possible to have another block at the bottom, which works by showing the latest post, from one of the forums. For this, would it be possible to name it, and also remove the buttons to comment it etc. I'd also need both post things, to be able to lose the who posted it thing, and if there is an avatar by it, they'd probs need to be replaced by a pic, if this is possible?
How easy is it to create pages as well, and what can go on these. Can you post any php code or html code to go on these pages?
Finally, how much would it cost to remove the copyright?
Thanks for the help.
