Forum:Help with Design

Hey.

Some members of our wiki (www.micronations.wikia.com) have been complaining about our design, but we aren't experienced with wiki design. I have no idea of a background for our site, and I don't know if there are any good plugins to help us. Can anybody offer any advice? also, how would we get a forum plugin like they have on lego wiki?

 * The forum feature you saw on the Lego wiki is currently in a very early testing phase. Wikia has added it to a few wikis, but it isn't meant for widespread use yet. When it is ready, it will be available in Special:WikiFeatures in your admin dashboard. They might still be adding a few more wikis for testing, you can try making a request at Special:Contact/general asking staff to enable the new forums on your wiki and see if they're willing to do so.


 * For a background, you will need to find or create a suitable image. Then, to add a background to your wiki, you can use the Theme Designer.


 * I believe some users complained about the Wikia skin rather than our additions to it :), but I believe they got used to it today. And for the background, it would be complicated... I thought the white-silver gradient was acceptable, since it is not dragging too much attention or looking terrible, but it is not enough. And my main concern is the actual design rather than just the background - it's a bit messy. --- LurkSAR (Talk) - (Contributions) 17:02, October 14, 2012 (UTC) (admin on the same site, btw).
