Topic: Change type colour

you can do this by changing your theme to the 'simple' theme, and selecting "Simply Dark".  Click 'Forum Admin' -> 'Themes'

Also, if you know how to edit CSS, you have the option of changing colors via the CSS link under Themes.

alternativly, with the 'Classic' theme, you can select 'Green on Black' then save it, click 'Colors & Images' and drag the slider bar so that the green changes color.

For instance, let's say you wanted to use this image on your sidebar:
http://photobucket.com/image/peace%20or%20peacesign/becca098/peacesign.jpg?o=1

You would copy the html code below the picture (listed as 'for websites & blogs') DON'T use the one listed for 'forums & bulletin boards' (i know, it's annoying that they have it labeled like that)

Step 1. Upload photo to http://photobucket.com or another image hosting website
Step 2. In your forum, Click 'Forum Admin', then the 'Widgets' tab
Step 3. Drag the 'Custom HTML' widget from the left to the right, and put it at the top of all the widgets.
Step 4. Click 'Edit' on the custom html widget
Step 5. Paste in the html code, like the code below
Step 6. Click OK, and remember to click 'Save' on the widgets panel.

EXAMPLE html code to copy into a "Custom HTML" widget:
<a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm239/becca098/?action=view&current=peacesign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm239/becca098/peacesign.jpg" border="0" alt="peace"></a>
