your

to see the riddles.
 I appreciate your work. It is evident that a lot of
hard work has gone into the development of this. It is
great. Apart from the content which is very good
(ofcourse i havent completely read all the sections),
I am pleased with the colors and layout of your site.
I am going through your site to find good color
combination for my new application.

I wish u come up with lot of good work in the future.
Congrats once again

There should be ways to change the style to approximate the one of this forum. There are probably tutorials on how to do this for phpbb; possibly there are also skins/themes you can install.

yeah, very oryginal colors and layouts. I have a question, I'm trying now to install phpbb forum and I want style just like your forum have, but it isn't phpbb, so I cant use that?

Don't bother towr, he was just spamming.
(the signature: "Fizyka Dla Kazdego - zadania z fizyki wzory z fizyki fizyka dla gimnazjum fizyka dla liceum matura z fizyki" advertised a site that makes your homework)

No, I wasnt spamming at all.
My website doesnt makes your homework, we trying to teach physics online for free :)
And we need forum, phpbb forum but no style seems to fit...

of course if You want me to remove my signature I do it ;)

and why You delete all my posts? I had question in them, question I would really like to be answered.....

There's a policy not to allow links in signatures or posts until someone reaches 50 posts, to deter spamming (see here (http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=riddles_suggestions;action=display;num=1268233843)). So for the time being it would probably be best to remove the link from your signature.

Have you browsed through the styles demo for phpBB to see if there's anything there you like? http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/

It is me who removed your posts.  I apologize for that.

We lately have many posts from people who only come to advertise their web site.  They make a few simple generic posts, or ask a question, and we never see them again.  It is sometimes difficult to decide whether a post is legitimate or not.  We don't want to break our head over that question.  That is why we implemented the rule of "no links in signatures".

I am afraid your posts looked a bit too generic.  You could ask the exact same question on any forum.  Then I misread zdania as "domajnie zadanie" in russian.  I realize now that conclusion was a bit quick.  That's why I decided it must be a case of forum spamming.

But now that you have shown that you actually came back to the forum and that you have removed your signature, I promise I will not delete any more post.

<off-topic>For what it's worth, my working moderation policy has been more-or-less "unless it's blatant spam, once it's commented on it stays." along with "don't second-guess the other mods."  So in fizyka's case, since towr had replied rather than deleting, I left the posts in place.</off-topic>

It's ok :) Thx, and sorry for that misunderstanding:)
BTW. I didn't find phpBB3 style that look like this. But I found on Your site some great riddles. Sorry for offtopic, but I have one genrous question. Do You know from where riddles are. I mean not from do You heard them, but where they where made and by whom? My friend says one time that all high IQ people have a mission to create them by their life <lol>

The puzzles come from all sorts of places. Some are originals, others come from books or puzzle-columns (e.g. Martin Gardner's "Mathematical Games"-column which also got bundled into a few books), or other sites.
