Simple cry for help!!

[laura_james]

Sorry to ask stupid questions but I've got two questions about my new forum. I'm a newbie to forums and have of course been given the mammoth task of formatting it and making it look pretty...by monday!

1) I need to make our forum look nice and have the same colors and feel as our home page www.bulldogdsl.com. Is this simple to do? If so where do I start!

2) I need to edit the registration page to accomodate a new field for customer reference number (we need to authenticate all users that are only bulldog customers).

Are both these things as simple or am I going to be bruised from banging my head against my desk!!!!! Thank you for your expert help in advance x x

1. It should be farely simple to intergrate your layout from your homepage with vBulletin you just need to know some html. If you made the design it should be rather easy but if you didn't you might want to get the coder to help you. Or find someone here that might be able to.

2. Well there is 2 ways of goinh around this. One way is to add a new profile field. Which can be done via the Admin Control Panel. Another way is done by hacking which is fairly simple.

Hope this helps in some way!
