I'm trying to associate a skin to one of the forums I have (i.e. the main forum uses a skin and I want to use another one for the other portion of the
forum). Someone that runs another forum was kind enough to try and explain it but I don't understand the explanation. Here is what I'm trying to do
which they have been able to accomplish.........
I run the Classic Fly Rod Forum and we have a slew of forums in it, the one I wish to change is the Classic Fly Rod Classifieds here is where folks offer items to buy, sell and trade since many feel it's one of the safest places on the internet for classic tackle. Over time there have been many conversations about items which were educational but also some that became a flame fest which is against the rules. Someone suggested that we make it non verbal, i.e. like a real classified ad where no comments were allowed and the OP would leave instructions as to how to contact them, i.e. PM or email keeping things civil. I tried to make the forum Lead Only, i.e. only the OP could post with no replies but it is not possible in Yuku (I have put this in as a suggestion as well but have not seen it come up for vote as yet). In the mean time we keep having issues with folks not following the rules which prompted me to look for alternate ways of addressing this.
The gent who did this told me this is the action he's taken:
I have a solution to rid your For Sale forum of reply buttons. I did this on the my forum and it appears to work in both FireFox and Internet Explorer. I haven't tested Opera or Safari. The answer actually came from Yuku - a transparent 1 pixel image used to replace the reply buttons:

If you go to your administrative Control Panel > Design > Customized Skins, you need to find the skin applied to your For Sale board. For Sale will need its own unique skin for this to work without messing up all the other forums. In the For Sale skin, click the "images" button, and paste the transparent image address into the following three locations: Posting Buttons > Add Reply: In-Post Buttons > Quote: In-Post Buttons > Reply: Now click "Save" at the bottom of that page. The transparent image will replace the various buttons above the topic window and inside the topic window. In reality, the buttons are still there, but they are invisible and only 1 wide/tall. It will take a deliberate effort to find and use one.
That just leaves the Quick Reply box. In the same skin, click the "edit html" button. To make the Quick Reply box disappear, you want to add the following exact line to the very bottom of the Advanced CSS box. Make sure the code is located on a new line.
.extra-content.reply-box {display: none;}
I have looked at his board and it works as he states but I'm at a loss as to how to achieve this, any help would be most appreciated, thanks....
