    And use the names like I wrote in the post above.

    blackhawksfiller.jpg
    blackhawkscenter.jpg
    bluejacketsfiller.jpg (no space, no capitals between Blue and Jackets)
    bluejacketscenter.jpg
    etc.

    What is this for? [​IMG].. I can't find it anywhere.. It'll be easier if we just copied what was already in the forums for this thing. I renamed everything else... And do you really need the fillers and left bar named? Its pointless having the same file saved 10+ times. I can give you a list of the teams that need that image..

    Yeah, I need the bar images.

    It matters. It's going to take me 4+ hours to set up all the skins. Replacing the graphics as you decide to change them, or when we find issues with any of them will be a piece of cake if we use a consistent naming scheme. A naming scheme that's consistent with all the other (NBA, etc.) skins, too.

    And I don't want to spend any extra time trying to figure out which background to use with which center image.

    Okay, sounds good. Mind taking a print screen of inside the admin control panel of an example of the skinning?

    It would take a dozen print screens. Most of it is done via the style vars once you have the theme set up. The process is lengthy because for each skin, I have to create the skin, then in the forum manager attach the skin to the forum. Then I have to load the forum page in my browser and tweak the style vars, reloading as I go to see the effect of the changes. If it takes me 10 minutes per skin, and there's 30 skins, that's 300 minutes, or 5 hours.

    it's HTML and CSS

    custom HTML to make the banner in the header template

    applying CSS colors to things like the page background and those bar_ images for the buttons and other decoration.
