Ikonboard is extremely easy to customise to fit within your design. All you need to do is edit the template from within the admin area. Basically this involves no more than copying the 'insert Ikonboard' bit (cannot remember the exact wording just now, but you will see it) into a page from your template, add the style sheet from the Ikonboard template to the head of your template page and copy the page HTML into the template area in Admin. You can test it from there before you publish and can reset to the default at any time. You will also need to ensure that the file paths of any images or links in your template page are correct from the location in the cgi-bin, sometimes using absolute URLs is the easiest way to do this. FP elements in the page (eg navigation, include pages etc) may not work either so they will need to be replaced with more generic stuff. Sometimes, depending on the page layout, you need to alter the default width of the Ikonboard table, this can be done in Edit Settings or Edit Style in the Admin area, I forget which one. BTW I have a small collection of about 25 animal avatars that I made for an Ikonboard install ages ago - mainly dogs and cats - if you want me to send them to you.
