Newly created Alpha Centauri forum. Born out of a discussion in this very forum. It will probably get an affiliated website eventually.

Oh now it's not a temporary site. Yay!

You'll need a skin and some add-ons for that forum.

My abilities in the field of graphics are pathetically juvenile. If you can point me to a forum with some skins you would have my eternal grattitude

Go to invisionfree's site, go to their directory, and go to Graphics/Skins. Join up on one of the sites and get a skin.

2nd member of that site, dropping in to say come give us a visit sometime, we'd like some more active people. :)

You'll also need a Banner, which I suppose I could make if you told me what you wanted.

That would be excellent. I'm really not a graphics person. I'd prefer a globe covered with pinkish-red Xenofungus on the left, a Secret project on the right(sized down version of this thing http://www.firaxis.com/smac/) on the right, and the words "Centauri Preserve" in between. If either of those is to difficult, say so and Ill figure out an alternative.

I couldn't exactly get what you wanted, so I made a banner, with a few of the characters from the game:

Insert that in Images>Banner in the IMG SRC section. You'll see it.

Perfect! You have my gratitude

I need to make the banner longer for your forum...

Try this, if it's too long, i'll make it smaller again.

The forum fitted with the larger version... hmm, Your template has a weird size, I'll try 900x100.

Perfect! My thanks to you.

For some reason it changed to the first banner...

That is a temporary site. We have CFC user Till working on a phpbb site and forum.
