I can help with the coding of a forum layout, if we want something fancy-ish.
Here is an example of my proboards codings (please keep in mind that this is an active site):
writeaffinity.proboards.com
If you want help, just let me know!
Also, I'm not very good with skins, soo, yeah. Someone else would have to work with that. I can only do basic skins.

That's awesome Pretzel!
I have tried coding for proboards before, but to no avail.
Would you be willing to do that for this one? :3

Yeah, it'd actually be really easy. I'd just do a bunch of copying and pasting, with a few tweaks here and there.

It'd be great if you could do that for us, Pretzel. Could I ask you for a custom layout maybe?
I'm probably going to get Photoshop over the weekend, so I'll be able to do the main image.
If I can't for some reason, could you do that as well?

By the way, how did you change your font size?

Sure, Petally, that'd be fine. If you have me do an image though, just a warning, all my editing is limited to what you can do in photobucket. Since I'm not fancy enough for Photoshop. P:

Where would you put that, in the personal text section?

OKAY.
So I have a good layout I want to use. But I can't get it up tonight. Because I am leaving for a party, like, right now.
But I will (hopefully-probably) be here to work on it tomorrow. And (hopefully) you will like it.
ANYWHO. I'm off. See you guys in the New Year!!

For the categories/boards, if we are going to be roleplaying all the clans, should we make a category for each clan and then include prominent places in their territories for each clan as a board? This way we could have one 'ooc' category and then in that one category we could do different ooc topics. We could also have a character category with different character boards.
It would look something like this:
The Lounge:
News & Announcements
Questions & Suggestions
Staff Chat
Characters:
Applications
MarshClan Cats
PineClan Cats
OakClan Cats
DustClan Cats
MarshClan Territory:
Camp
MoonCavern
Borders
Meadow
Hunting Grounds
The River
PineClan Territory:
Camp
(whatever else is in PineClan territory)
OakClan Territory:
Camp
(whatever else is in OakClan territory)
DustClan Territory:
Camp
(whatever else is in DustClan territory)
OOC:
Chat
Introduction & Absences
Writing Games & Challenges
Art Room
Advertisements
Its just something to thing about. If we decide to do this, I could make up images for each of the category headers, to make the board look super fancy. :3

I like how Pretzel put out the categories.
We should go with that :3

I would never be able to code a Proboards layout.

Heck, I was happy when I managed to find how you edit the layout xD
Pretzel, I have much respect for you - you rock my socks off.

Pretzel has done a nice job with the site, I agree.
Wouldn't that make our page a little...
Long? Since we're a four-clan role play, there'll be a heck of a lot of boards in the role play section and would most probably be hard to navigate.
Also, wouldn't there technically be two OOC boards with that setup, and where would the information about the site go?
However I like the Art Room and Introduction & Absences boards, so I'm going to add those now.
I hate the stomach flu.

I would agree, but if we organize it right, it should be good :3
Also, the side columns seem a little long now compared to the board list, so I think we should lengthen the body out somewhat.
You have the stomach flu?
I'm sorry Petally ):
That sucks!

We'll have a test run and see how it goes. I'd like to make it known that I'm a complete neat-freak (Maybe I have OCD, who knows  ) and I also like threads to go in sub-boards, sub-boards in boards, and boards in categories.
Because y'know, it's neater that way.
I'd like the character applications and the affiliation/advertisement board to stay with the sub-boards, however.
Eh. I get it every year, you get used to it.
Thanks, though. You make me feel loved.

If you want to see an example of a board thats 'long,' then go here: shawsacademy.proboards.com
Its really not that much of a nuisance. In fact, I usually find sub-boards to be more of a nuisance.
In essence, yes, there would be two 'ooc' categories. 'The Lounge' would be where we put important information, such as rules, plots, questions & suggestions, etc. The 'ooc' category would be more for members to chat, introduce themselves, play writing games, show off their artwork, etc. I find this usually works out well, so far as organizing the boards goes.
Also, Petally, right now I'm working on a way to fix the board so that you can see it without having to paste that code on each page. From what I'm hearing, though, its a coding error, and we may have to scrap this whole layout all together and go with a different one.

I am too, don't worry about it ;D
In certain respects anyway.
And you are loved Petally!
I hate being sick Dx
I hope you feel better.
I like how there are those top, header images above each category, Pretzel.
Did you make that on too?
You're so good at these 
Copy and paste what code?
The size code?
Cause I don't have to do that, I figured out how to set it within your profile modifications.
It made me feel smart
Strike that, it didn't come up when I was replying to this board for some reason.

) and I also like threads to go in sub-boards, sub-boards in boards, and boards in categories.
