Forum in Ucoz system is made as tables and users have no access to the HTML code of these tables. This is so because the majority of users don’t have enough knowledge to edit HTML code correctly. That’s why forum structure and form are constant, you can only change forum appearance/design. Forum has three templates: 1. General appearance of forum pages.
2. Appearance of entries (how a separate forum post looks)
3. Message addition form.
These three templates + CSS permit to make an individual forum and preserve all uCoz functionality.
The part of CSS that refers to forum:
