There are 250 phpBB forum skins, and almost all of them are very good looking. Download links: http://rapidshare.de/files/2370655/phpbb_themes_01.rar.html (36 mb) http://rapidshare.de/files/2371072/phpbb_themes_02.rar.html (26 mb) Download both the 2 files and put them in a directory named phpbb skins. Then extract the files. To use the skins: First install the phpbb forum Then you open the "templates" directory in the phpbb forum root Choose one skins from the 250 skins you have, and copy the entire skin directory into the "templates" directory in the phpbb forum root. Go to your administration panel and choose the skin, that's it. For more questions, just reply.

"good-looking"? how good-looking? would have been better if you provided a preview of the individual pages on your site or somewhere. then provide individual links for download of one's template of choice. 250 of such forum skins, especially mostly good-looking ones, do not usually come free. i just hope these are not templates provided as warez somewhere, otherwise we'll have to unlink them here.

Good point serverph!
It may be from warez or similar stuff..that's what we all get at rapidshare
I dont use the forums..so this is of no use to me. Lyon, please make sure that it is not a warez thing and if it is please edit the links or if others comes to know then please report this to the mods using REPORT button.

Since when phpBB skins are warez or even people share this kind of stuff in warez websites?
So you know what warez even mean!?

phpbb skins are free, this collection of phpBB skins are all free, not even one is illegal, this is a collection made by a guy that shared in some forums like this one (freebie forum) and shared to all.

If i wanted to share warez (wich means programs plus the their cracks,keygens or patchs), i would not come to this forum, i have better things to do with my time, plus, i don't really need to make topics at trap17.com, there are a lot of good servers out there that doesn't need forum posting.

I'm only making topics to share stuff, to exchange knowledge, to help others, and, i don't even need to make topics to get credits on my trap17.com hosting account, there's other ways of geting credits without making topics, so please, moderators, think a litle before you even think that this is warez.

If you only knew what you are saying, just for you to know, there are plenty of websites on the internet giving away for free (completely free) phpBB skins, you want some examples? Ok, here's just one:

phpBB Hacks
http://www.phpbbhacks.com

This websites offers more then 10.000 phpBB skins, themes, hacks, add-in's-plug-in's and much more, don't beleave me, look for yourself here:

phpBB Hacks - All phpBB Templates (5.000+ skins, themes)
http://www.phpbbhacks.com/templates.php


you want more!? Ok, here's one more:


phpbb design
http://www.phpbb-design.com

This websites offers more then 350 phpBB skins or themes plus a lot more phpBB stuff like hacks, etc...


Now, the guy that made the collection must have visited this website and other websites that give away phpbb skins/themes and made this collection, so is it warez, no Moderators, it is not.

In warez websites you will find a lot of illegal scripts and skins like Invision power board and Vbulletin, but not for phpBB, that's ridiculous.

rldowling03, visit the above websites for what you are looking for or download the phpBb skins collcetion and see if that's what you want.

lyon2, i'm just saying "i hope it's not.... i'm aware that there are free templates for phpbb, but there are also commercial ones which have to be paid by the user (these are the "good-looking" ones sought most after by most users). links to the latter (even in part, as part of a multi-download), we are trying to avoid in the forums to avoid legal complications. having LYON2 as your "second" account, after the first LYON has earned 80% warning level owing partly to problems with warez in your posts before, we just have to be sure. if you say it's not warez, we'll take your word for it... for now. and much more the better if you can provide a preview of this collection, for everybody's perusal (without the need to download the whole 62MB collection). will wait for your album, and will download above collection for counterchecking.

Yes, serverph, Lyon is a bad guy but Lyon2 isn't, and i'd apreciate if you pay more atention to that fact because has may notice, i did not made a "bad" topic with Lyon2 account, and i don't want to, i want to respect the rules, the admins, the moderators, the members and so forth.

It's just that it gets on my nerves when someone talks about warez when i don't make topics with it anymore because of the above described reasons.

Concerning the 250 phpBB skins, i really beleave they are not illegal cause i've seen many of them and the i did not see any files containing links to ilegal (warez and other ilegal stuff) websites or even to websites containing virus, worms, trojans, spyware, adware, hacking and cracking tools, scripts or programs, what i saw there was only the Templates (their directorys, after extraction) wich contains the template itself and a link (some templatesonly) to the websites that made that free phpBB skin(s)/theme(s), so i'd bet they are not ilegal, they can't be.

When you say that the good ones (the good looking phpBB skins/themes) are the ones that we must pay for, i really disagree with that, phpBBhacks.com and phpBB-Design.com have tons, thousands of phpBB skins/themes/hacks with high quality, extremelly good looking, and the ones inside this files (250 phpBB skins files), depending of your tastes, wich are different for everyone, in my opinion are very good looking, but of course, not all, and despite the fact that i find the most part of this collection good looking phpbb skins/themes, you could not think so too like me, you have your taste, i have mine.

I hope we understand each other because i really don't want to make topics with ilegal stuff, that is over, finished, dead.

I'm having problems with my mysql server (in my computer), php server logs say that it can't find the dll file: php_mysql.dll , so i couldn't take the screenshots to show you the phpBB skins from the collection above.

If someone knows how to help me, someone that's also interested in seeing the phpBB skins, please help me with this problem.

serverph, i would like to show you the templates, but i can't get my mysql server to work, it runs in background but my server and php server does not connect to the mysql server, i don't know what is wrong.

I already uninstall both php 5 and mysql 5 servers, now i only have my personal server, perhaps i'll try to install an all in one application like xamp or apache2triad or even netserver wich seems good.

Can you help on this? What's the better all in one tool, i just need an apache, php, mysql and perl/cgi, nothing more.

kylelnsn, thanks for your review, at last one that apreciates this share and/or uses phpBB forums and with great skins.
