SILKYSMOOTH Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Just an observation but why do many car club forums all have the same format and style and several that I have visited all look like the supra forum but just with a different name.... are they all owned/created by the same people? or do they just replicate the site?

arvind8811 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Forums like these are open source ready built software(please correct me if i'm wrong), thats why they all look the same! Some forums use different skins which may look better. Can we have a forum jump drop down if its possible? its quiet helpful actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILKYSMOOTH Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 A friend popped over last night and I showed him the forum and he said "oh this site looks just like the FIAT forum that I am member to"....and I also have been researching a few others and found that they are the same too. Now I know, thanks... You learn something everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Iv always used phpBB3 boards, look alot more modern think they look abit better and much easyer to add forum mods to etc... my view tho i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Mine is a different colour to the defaults but at the end of the day you can't really do much to change them without them becoming unusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
