Getting FlatForum to work on Drupal 4.7
I have installed flatforum on my Drupal 4.7 Installation, using the Sharepoint-like Theme, which supposedly uses PHPTemplate. I've put the styles from flatforum at the end of the styles.css file in the Sharepoint-like Theme folder, added the node-forum.tpl.php to the Sharepoint-like Theme folder, and added the contents of template.php from flatforum to the template.php file in the Sharepoint-like Theme folder, and enabled the flatforum module on the modules admin page.
However, the Forum doesn't change it's look, and the source for the forum page doesn't seem to contain any of the css ids or classes added to the style.css file from the flatforum stylesheet.
I need to launch this forum very soon, and I think I've tried everything I can on my own. I'm hoping someone out there with FlatForum experience is available to get FlatForum to work for me for a reasonable fee.
Anyone for hire for this?
Try clearing the sites cache
Try clearing the sites cache - do this at the database level or install the Devel module.
If this doesnt work contact me directly and I'll sort it out for you - very cheaply of course:)
Looks like you did everything right, and your not getting any errors on screen - clear the cache and see what happens.
Nodes
Flatforum only styles the forum nodes & comments, not the forum overview pages.

yes this is a good point,
yes this is a good point, make some test posts - these are what get styled with flatforum - the actual post nodes.
We got it working at
We got it working at kogvet.se without much hassle really. The flatforum code works just fine as it is. There's the thing with theming the comment area but it doesn't make much of a difference anyway.
Have you looked at the various tutorials that are available?

Did You Merge the .CSS Files?
Have you successfully merged your .css files?
I noticed - and I just did this - that you need to merge the .css files from your theme with the one supplied by flatforum. It is really quite easy after that.
I might suggest intalling the module, too. I just installed and copied the files up and all is well on my site - www.4thedadz.com

remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request
That just takes an @import
That just takes an @import url("../../modules/flatforum/flatforum.css"); rule in style.css.
