Hello to everyone,
I have heard that it is possible to make a skin with photoshop? I was wondering id anyone has done this and if so, how do you get the forums actually on a psd file?

most of the time, you make a template >image<
so you make just a picture of what you want it to look like. Then if your a coder you slice it up and code it OR you hire someone to take your image and slice it up for you.
i know a guy that will take a psd/image and code it into a skin for about $100

My buddy Steve @ www.gasmoney.net used BlindChild for his forum and its pretty hot

Steve had the design made by a guy who was good with photoshop and BlindChild coded it.....im pretty sure...
he also does full custom skins as seen here

Wow you own the Talk Delaware site?
I saw it on VB.org for forum of the month. Did you do all of the work yourself?

If I may ask, what did you use to make your header work? Is it a psd file and you sliced with for links?
I see you have links at the top, may I ask how did you do that. You can pm me if you like. I just think your work is great
