Hi folks Could someone please give me a source to read about designing my forums "faces"?

I have seen many variations but have not a clue where to start reading about how to actually do this to them.

Also if Amanda is single I'd like to flirt with her some but that's another thread.

How do I get the forum display to change?

use the forumdisplay.cgi file?

How do I edit the tables and stuff?

Any help appreciated
