AI Thread Summary
To test a new design for a phpBB forum without making changes to the live site, one effective method is to run phpBB locally on your computer using a web server like Apache. This allows for experimentation with design changes in a controlled environment. Basic color scheme adjustments can be made through the admin panel, but for more advanced customization, manual code editing may be necessary. Additionally, users can explore pre-designed templates available online, which can enhance the forum's appearance without the need for extensive design work. Resources for free templates and customization options are also available, providing a wide range of choices for users looking to improve their forum's design.

The new design here made me want to redesign my boring standard phpBB look. How would I go about testing the new look without having to actually make the changes on the site? A sort of demo. In the admin panel for phpBB, there are certain basic fields I can edit to change the basic color scheme of the forum, but do I need to do manual code editing for the best outcome?

Any suggestions or links would be helpful.

You could run phpbb on your own computer. All you need to install is Apache.

http://httpd.apache.org/

Then load up phpbb and make your changes. Once your done just upload it to your live webserver.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
