Is it possible to allow a user of the OC.com site to apply a CSS to the layout that can change the whole layout?

So if someone who enters the forum of this site from my homepage, he or she gets the same layout as mine.

Just by a modification of the reffering URL, like this:

http://www.opencaching.com/phpBB2/posting.php?css=geogerard&mode=reply&t=75 Cool

Yes and no.

Yes, the idea is to have the entire site controlled by a stylesheet and further that alternates could be offered; not sure I'd do it through the url though, it'd probably be a user preference in the profile.

No, the bbs part doesn't work like that, it's a separate, canned script phpBB that uses themes, but the themes are more than css.

Hi, first of all I need to say sorry for not contributing any work or comment lately. I had the change to go on vacation and i grabbed it before my boss changed his mind concerning vacation.

Selectable themes should be ok, but i dont think its really needed here. Maybe a high contrast there should be selectable for handicaped ppl. Letting user set up new stylesheets they can screw up their view easily and this mit generate lots of unnessesary support tasks.

for my feel a plain and simple layout should do its work here. we dont need alot of eyecandy we just need to have an easy to access website which is stricly content focused. ( for my feel )
