Wp-Forum database fix and skinning

Wp-forum is a great plug in for wordpress that intergrates a forum into wordpress and use a universal account. Its very good but I came across some issues in the installation.
If you are getting database errors when installing or after installation deactive the plug in and do the following:

Database fix:
I found the solution on a forum from a guy called camdagr8

On some hosting accounts you’re not a full admin of the db.
so on line: 1009 of wp.class.php when it checks for the db user level it returns if it’s < 8

Commented out lines ( basically delete the lines and add // ):
1009, 1010, and 1108

Skinning:
Make sure first of all you have copied the css from the wp-forum to your style sheet or linked it. Then just edit the css colors to match your scheme. Then go into wp-forum/skins and select images. If you want to change the new post image then on.gif and off.gif controls them. Play around replace images and soon you will have a custom skin.
