In case you haven't discovered it yet, this board comes pre-loaded with three dwarf-inspired message board themes.
Which do you like best?
(In case you don't know what we're talking about, go back to the Profile page -- link up top -- and scroll 2/3 down to see a drop down menu with all three themes. Yes, you must be registered to see any other than Friends in Low Places.)

Ok on mine what I did in the theme.php...
There's a section for Header and Footer
Header on mine starts with:
$HEADER =
Had to mess with it to find the ending, but basically I copied from $HEADER = all the way down to before it has $FOOTER = and then pasted it right above $FOOTER = and renamed $HEADER to $CUSTOMHEADER.
After that I deleted the (MENU=1) section of it.
Do the same thing with $FOOTER = and copy it again and replace it with $CUSTOMFOOTER = etc. etc.. on mine it had (MENU=2) which I deleted from the custom one.
Then in the next section, which on mine showed // [newsstyle]
I put this:
$CUSTOMPAGES = "forum.php forum_post.php forum_viewforum.php forum_viewtopic.php search.php";
So how I did all this was with alot of trial and error, I DLed the theme.php and made a copy of it and renamed it to themebackup.php and left it alone, I then would do changes to the theme.php, upload to see if I broke anything, if I did I'd reupload the themebackup.php in it's place to unbreak it until I got it right...
Sorry for the laymans terms and vagueness of it but I was really flying blind doing this on the fly. I don't know if ANY of it will help but I figured I'd post it so you could give it a shot, if it didn't work, only time and patience was lost![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/toothy.gif)

No sig for Joo!!
Crap there was also something I did with one of the width's as well I think... I can't remember
But basically the menu's which I don't know if you have or not would take up 15% on the left and right of the theme and 70% was left for the rest... I think I had to change some of the widths to 100% in the custom headers and footers to adjust for this... again sorry for the vagueness ![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/cry.gif)
