is there default categories in place

[nitram]

Hi,


Are there default categories in place or do they have to be built ?

Do the thumbshots and pagerank images require any mods ?

How hard is it to fit a custom header, similar to a word press header ?

What is the degree of difficulty in altering default text on any page ( eg pricing etc )

I run a VB forum how does the maintenance compare, frequency of upgrades etc?

one final thing is it possible to ask a question rather than captcha ?

Thank you !

Are there default categories in place or do they have to be built ?
To avoid duplicate content among many sites, we don't provide a base category database. If you search for phpLD category dump, you will find some available however.

Do the thumbshots and pagerank images require any mods ?
Thumbshots is implemented at the template level including on the Chrome template that comes with phpLD. Pagerank is a feature in phpLD that can be turned on or off.

How hard is it to fit a custom header, similar to a word press header ?
It is just a matter of uploading the image, and editing the html.

What is the degree of difficulty in altering default text on any page ( eg pricing etc )?
There are many places where the text can be altered through the admin panel.

I run a VB forum how does the maintenance compare, frequency of upgrades etc?
We usually have an update of the software every 6-12 months.

one final thing is it possible to ask a question rather than captcha ?
At this point, that would probably be a mod. I spotted this one the other day and we may provide this as a mod:
