So you would like the enire forum content to be within a picture frame? I guess you're wanting a sort of desk/relastic look? (i.e. As if you're looking down at the desk and information is used in combo with props?) I've seen quite a few blog designs that go for this approach and its quite effective.

This is possible, the only issues I can see would be time. It would take a bit longer than usual to create than your standard vBulletin skin.

MaestroX, thanks for the reply, something like a scene from the beach and yes like looking at a desktop, would it be possible to change the picture from a selected assortment? is there a storage or bandwidth issue? Very new to this, clueless actually but wondered if the "page"? would be changeable?

[MaestroX]

It would work yes, though it would possibly require some clever coding. What is the theme of your site?

[Squatch]

its a reefkeeping site with the emphasis on community fun and interaction, i suppose solid colors would be simpler?

[MaestroX]

I think overall, it dependson on the look you're trying to achieve. If you'd like to take the next step and discuss your project further please email me with a brief.
