    the barrage of stupid questions starts here :)

    Right, with help, I have the board installed and put on a few categories as well as a hidden category for a user group I have created.

    I have also installed a second theme (I will install others in the future, but 2 is enough for playing with for now). Theme works grand and looks lovely and all and I am fairly happy about editing the colour scheme of it to suit my own purposes.

    One niggling thing though:

    is there a way in phpBB2 to lock a theme to a category and over-rule the users preferred theme without locking the theme to the whole board? (category has 4 sub forums which should also have the theme). Sort of like the way Cloud and Dev have configured the Lord of the Rings thread HERE

    If you want that level of control you would be better off getting vbulletin.
    It may be possible to configure phpbb2 do that sort of thing, but I can see you suffering a lot of pain to do it

    You might want to look at the phpbb2 discussion forums.

    I'm sure it should be simple enough to force a theme for a certain board, like
    if(forum_id=32) { $template->theme = "Board_theme"}

    etc.....
