Show off your forums

Please, I want to see real live forums powered by vanilla, something that people customized, styled, made look cool.
I can't find any 'showcase' link, so please post your links here.

here's mine. I installed the Organic theme, then customized it manually via a CSS editor.

I really like the look of these forums. But how do you inset images and links and any other html like features?

germain

thanks to extensions! HTML Formatter, Inline Images, Attachments, Modtools, Vanillacons, etc, etc... I got a great bunch of plugins installed.

williamh

Are none of these things installed on this web site for us to test?

vf.org is using vanilla2, not v1 plus many addons.

A couple of version 1 forums that I know of with distinct looks:

Whitechapel on http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/
Bytemark on https://forum.bytemark.co.uk/index.php

the best way to test is to install it yourself. If your database is still unoccupied, installing a vanilla forum and some extensions will only cost you time! That's what I did (my former PHPBB message board was hosted elsewhere, so I tested Vanilla quietly and adopted it proudly only one week later)
