I am looking to make a website layout (designed in Photoshop and coded to PHP or HTML doesnt matter) and design a forum skin that matches exact layout as my website design. For example, take a look at the P2L website and forum. Same layouts aren't they? But the thing is that my forum will be in SMF. Any ideas where to start? Or if anyone can help me thru MSN etc that'll be great.

Lies! It has to be coded in HTML... PHP is an optional extra that makes certain things easier

Yeah I've seen those links but thats not the point. I want someone to help me design/code a forum theme that matches my website layout. Is that possible to find a SMF designer around here? Or maybe I am asking for too much

Never mind... I just found a good phpBB2 style that I can use. I can make a layout based on the forum design so I won't be looking for a forum coder. But I can't get phpBB2 to install on my site now. I have cPanel and it has Fantastico De Luxe in it. But the version that is in Fantastico is phpBB3 which I don't want to install. Is there a manual way I could install phpBB2? Because this style is not made for phpBB3 and I have seen many styles for phpBB3 and they aren't very much of my choice.

It makes sense to install the latest version and not out dated vunerable software, that's why they have upgrades. Plus a lot of hosts will disable your hosting if you put their servers at risk with installing old software that can be hacked.
