    Hi all,

    I'm currently sorting out a forum for my (non-profit) drama group, but the images with it are horrible. I was curious as to the copyright on the images on boards.ie The new thread, quote, edit buttons etc. It's the "Cloud" style buttons I'm interested in most.

    Who owns them / Can I use them?

    Thanks,
    Snapscan

    why not ask for a hosted forum for your drama group? save a lot of hassle...

    Not a bad idea, clearly I'm an idiot.

    The existing forum already has circa 300 posts on it though, it'd be quite the task to bring them all across. Don't you have to pay for hosted forums here though? And don't users need a password to get into the Private Hosted (we couldn't leave it public)

    You can request a Private board - get a few of the members to sign up and support you.

    Then you can control who does and doesn't have access to the board. There's no password above logging into boards.

    You wouldn't be able to bring the existing posts across.

    But then new users from my Drama group would have to contact me. Its a good idea alright, and I should have had the cop on to do it. I think though that the forum location will have to remain where it is, I'd just like to be able to use the lovely Cloud images without being sued.

    If you're using phpBB have a look for the subBlack theme. It's freely available and very similar to the Cloud style buttons

    http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo.php

    change the theme to subBlack (this is of course assuming you're using phpBB but I'm sure it'd be easy enough to stick the buttons into an Invision Power Board or SMF board or whatever you're using)

    I'm not using phpBB - stupid host (who shall remain nameless) won't give me a mySQL db.

    I'm using ProBoards. I can customise the images, I just need permission to do so, and maybe some of the admin buttons like "delete" and "sticky" for me and my mods to use.
