Hello ladies and gentlemen!
Being a web developer with more than two years hands-on experience in front-end development (after carefully analyzing the open source bulletin board systems) I decided to begin on the journey of providing professional theming solutions for phpBB.
Those of you who are aware that phpBB is the most popular open source bulletin board system in the world may well agree that in spite of its ever increasing number of features, there’s still room for a lot of improvement.
Eles was started just for that – to speed up the modernization of phpBB forums.
The two main development guidelines for Eles and coreframe are:
The development process was optimized to regard these guidelines with every iteration.
Coreframe is a secure and powerful admin extension that integrates with phpBB3.1 and the Eles theme to get your forum customization experience to the next level.
All customization options available via the coreframe extension:
Next to the big number of built-in options customizable via coreframe Eles is also one of the only themes around to support template inheritance, making source code editing fun again.
Support is done via the product comments section.
The item documentation is included in the downloadable archive.
Please read the Item Support Policy (5 minutes reading time).
Probably the best theme for PHPBB 3.1 so far. Hoping it’ll be maintained for 3.2 and upwards!

Bootstrap is ‘mobile-first’ front end framework developed by a couple of engineers at Twitter (hence the name), it was originally designed to help provide some consistency across tools the guys were building internally. Since its first public (open source) release in 2011 (see the blog post here) it has found huge popularity among web developers for its ease of use and feature set, and in 2012 was the most popular project on GitHub. that allows for developing websites and custom applications that are cross-browser and cross-device compatible (responsive). Some of the key features of Twitter Bootstrap are:
They should add “Everything” to the “What is the main reason for your rating” This is the best theme out there and it’s really cheap! Looks simple but it has a lot of in depth and good features! This theme is the definition of awesomeness.koopzable
This is such an awesome and versatile theme! Out of the box it looks so professional and well thought out. Best PHPBB3 theme we’ve used. It is also highly customizable, and you can easily customize it to your needs. Support is TOP notch. Any issues or even general questions have been resolved via their forum in a matter of minutes. Also lots of MODS available and some of the premium ones are really worth it.Victimlas
The rating drop-down box only allows you to select one reason for rating 5 stars. In reality it is all of them. This is a fantastic theme built by someone who knows what they are doing.Blakk
Dave is A+ developer. If you are looking for a forum template, you won’t find better than his in themeforest. His is the best! I’m using FLatBoots template and I love it. I ordered customization and all set ups from him, and he is the best in what he does. Dramabuzz.com Website was up and ready under 4 hours. Since I’m a complete newbie in website development, I keep bugging him with questions everydaySorry Dave :)) And he always answers my questions and explains everything. The support is A+ for this template!

First and foremost, this simple yet modern and clean design is what sold me, but the reason behind the five stars is it’s designer – Dave. For a few months now, we have been working back and forth in order to customize and finalize our website. Dave has been such a godsend and amazing part of that whole process. Great open communication, great after-service, so patient and understanding, and just an awesome guy in general. I’d recommend this theme as well as any SiteSplat products, hands down!lexy822
Everything – design quality, feature availability, flexibility, customer support, bug-support, customizability, code quality, documentation quality…. and friendly communication.I have not tasted everthing what stands above, but when you take a step inside the supportforum you’ll see that everything is true.Thx Dave for a piece of code that makes so much fun!Steve – Webtyphoon

Complete newbie to PHP and developing Website Forums. This Theme looks clean, professional, and it just WORKS. I had one question/concern after a few days of using the Product and reached out to the Developer, Themesplat aka Dave, and he answered my question within a few hours and helped me resolve the issue.

Support for this item is absolutely amazing. Extremely easy to set up the style, and if you have any issues it’s incredibly easy to get assistance. The theme is also exactly what I was looking for. Original. There are not many other themes like this out there, and it really grabbed my attention. Everyone who I’ve shown the forum to so far also loves it. The quality and customization availability is fantastic. MOD’s for the style are also regularly updated and released, which makes everything even better. Keep up the great work. Much appreciated.jhwx
