I'm more an artist than coder so I just struggle through with things like this website. But, I want to add more features and design without pulling my hair out so wondered if anyone knows what they are doing and can offer sage advice ?

Eventually it would be nice to add login features to the front page (oople.com/rc) and tie everything together more as its a bit disjointed at the moment I feel.

you need to get yourself some PHP programming books...

or have a search for 'PHP talk' kind of web geek forums, there is loads of info available, and some people will even code for you if you just mension their name and/or a link to their website

or use mkportal, you will be able to edit the look a little, i can help with that if you want. Basically it acts as a portal to your forum, but adds extra pages, such as quotes, galleries, e.t.c. It's really cool, I used it on my site, but it isnt compatible with SMF forums. You will be okj though as it is a vBulletin forum. Alternatively for a small fee try scriptlance. Its like eBay, only web masters bid for projects, and you pay them. The lowest bidder, or whoever you pick wins. Sign-up, start a project, saying what you want, which I presume is integrating login-foms to your exsisitng site. You could type PHP tutorials on google too. Places like www.devshed.com (http://www.devshed.com) are quite good. Alternativley use a website content management system like mambo, joomla, php-nuke( not as good). Yopu can donwoads millions of editble templates, and millions more modules, like paypal donat , random gallery pic e.t.c

I know a fair bit about this mate. Would be happy to help.....might mean some big old changes though, but no doubt worth it in the end!
