Best phpBB3 skin?

    Hey guys, am looking for a recommendation of best phpBB3 forum skin? I would like it to be very clean, with not many colours, but quite Web 2.0. Free if possible, unless I find the perfect paid one.

    Thanks for any help!

    What type of theme are you looking for, what colour?

    I would assume that you want a Prosilver-based theme (not subSilver), but really it depends on what colour your site is so it can match it.

    My favourite theme would have to be proSilver SE, since it is the most clean out of most of the themes I have seen, but most people won't want their forum looking the same as the phpBB.com website.

    If you haven't already, I would recommend taking a look at the phpBB.com Styles Database.

    Good luck. ;)

    A pretty white based style would be good for the purpose I think!

    Thanks for the help

    I dunno, are there any that aren't designed in absurdly undersized px metric fonts making the entire thing an accessability /FAIL/ ? We are talking phpBB after all, where they don't see anything wrong with declaring font-sizes like 10px or worse, 9px.

    I've never had any problem reading the phpBB fonts, but then again, I have pretty good eyesight.

    I do agree with you though, phpBB should be using % fonts rather than px and pt.
