    Yeah, I know how to modify PhpBB.

    It is quite simple, just look in the install file it will have things like

    Find:

    (code)

    Before Add:

    (code2)

    So now you should have (code2)(code)

    Then there's also other ones like:

    After Add and Replace with, just do exactly what they say.

    There may also be somthing like:

    Find:

    (code2)(code3)(code4)(code5)

    Inline Find:

    (code3)

    Inline Replace with:

    Test

    Now you should have (code2)Test(code4)(code5)

    Basically you do exactly as they say, it gets easy to follow after a while. Make sure you save backups of every files you're editing though because somthing will most probably go wrong somewhere along the lines. You could also use EasyMod, but things can go wrong with that especially if you already have a few mods installed on your forum, this happened to me a few times which put me off using EasyMod.

    Hope that helped :)
