So it's been a while since I actually went out to my yahoo groups. Yikes! It's clear they want to get rid of these, based on the new design. Short of actually punching you in the eye, not sure how you could make it worse.

Well, blinking text and lime green on black background maybe, but still…

So I think I'm going to close all my Yahoo groups and move them over to a dedicated forum at FlagshipGames.com

What forum package that you use is easy to customise? I can dig into a little PHP and so on but I want something I can customize the look of reasonably easily.

Suggestions?

ProBoards? There is a service but i think you can get the package as well so you can run your own.

Try MyBB. I've had forums in various systems (phpbb, smf, joomla) and this is by far the fastest and easiest one to convert.
