My other forum is fubar so I want to back up my members, posts etc and move them, then I ant to re install the latest version of eblah, and then copy back all the members and stuff when done, can I do this.

I want to have a banner type picture like you have here(yours is a bar, I want a pic ) across the top of the forum. How do I ?

I want to change the background of the board, but not the post boxes the messages are in, how do  I do that.

How do I change the default text of the boards ?.

I read page after page here toay and over time and I am just so confused as to what is what, I can't even work out what the portal is, to me a portal is a door and the door to me is the main page you get to when you log into a forum, I just know someone is going to tell me I am wrong !.
