... that I know are commonplace.. my issue is that I haven't been able to find them all in one place and my time is really, really tight.

Category spacing: I know this one is on this site.
Space between welcome message and categories.
Full image border around forums (right, left, top, bottom)
Custom images in the category headers

If someone who knows where these things are could post the links to the mods, I'd really, really appreciate it.. (as in I'd donate $25 to their favorite charities or something via paypal) Yes this could cost me four times, I'm cool with that.

(Donations will be made when the mods are installed and confirmed.) :)

I don't know where they all are, but being all template mods, I know for a fact that I or a number of regulars here could do this for you. Some may require payment, while others may be willing to just help.

Understood and thank you Neeto.

My situation is that I have an outstanding graphic artist and we've been goofing about trying to work with our board by swapping out the images in other skins.

Because anyone who would do these template changes would have to work with the artist as well; I'd prefer just the locations of the hacks. I realize this is a pain, but that's why donations are offered. (heck if Floris or one of the mods did this, i'd drop the donation to this site.)

Thanks,
Al

Note that I have found cat spacing and welcome message split on these forums. I am still looking for full image border and custom images in the cat headers.

I have also found custom images in the category headers. All that remains is the hardest, full border which I expect will be handled by moving the footer bar down to sim the effect with a bg image instead of the css color.

Thanks to everyone and I'll share my finalized style when complete.

Best,
Al
