Forum Themes¶
Control Panel Location:
The ExpressionEngine Forums make use of “themes” to determine how they are displayed. The Forum Module comes with a “default” theme, which is located in your installation under themes/forum_themes/.
The theme files may also be edited from within the Control Panel at . In order to edit the Templates inside the Control Panel, set the theme folders and files to 666 permissions (for Windows servers, you need to make them “writable”).
If you plan to make changes to your theme, we recommend that you make a copy of the themes/forum_themes/default/ directory, name it something else, and make your changes to that one. You can easily switch themes simply by choosing a new one under Default Preferences.
For anyone creating their own theme or modifying one, the original “PSD” version of the “ExpressionEngine Forums” graphic is available for download.
