Under public/skins there are two skins: blue and [ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com)

I set in site.rb:  
:skin =\> ‘[ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com)’,

But it does not use skin.

So how to use skin?

It’s painful to get rForum installed into my hosting space. Though at  
last I got it work. Do wish a detailed document can be created to help  
rForum users.

That’s all you have to do. But the change will only be visible if you  
restart the fastcgi server process.
