I think what you're looking for is css.
You simply set up your php/asp/cgi forum script to use classes then create your pretty layout with css. This way you can have layout switchers.

I think some of the older forum scripts still use things like font tags and table background colors, so if you want to really use css you'd want to double check what the script is printing on the screen... either that or be prepared to rewrite huge chunks of code. Roll eyes

Are you going to be setting up a forum?

gotta finish redesigning my sites so I can show them again.

The purpose of education is... to get more jokes!

All I'm gonna say is that I'm starting something MASSIVE, and it's gonna need all the help I can get off you guys. I'm not gonna say anything yet because it has not been finalised
