"Reply" buttons are spelt as "Replay". Which is incorrect. Here's the fixed versions.

You have to go into your acp, bring up the CSS of the style and edit the font size there.

Minor prob.

When using expanded version (liquid) some pages have this right at the bottom of the page:

'// ++================================================ =========================++',

Any ideas how I can remedy this? Thanks.

mikaelweb, I was wondering if you could create the default vB buttons to match this skin. I can't really say the current buttons are nice but I would like to have those default vB ones, if possible. :)

A final quick question. I've installed this on vB 3.5.2, even tho this is designed for 3.5.3. Do you think that could cause problems with my database or anything?

Thanks again.

I right clicked and saved the "Approx.zip" file from the right side of the screen. Is that the 3.5.3 version? Or do I have to select something different?

Thanks!

Hi,

I love your skin and I installed in my forum, however it appears me and error when I add new categories and foruns.
I have transfer a phpBB board to vB with your skin and works great and seems great, but when I try to add a new forums and categories layout deforms.

I'm using version 3.5.4 with no installed plug-ins or code changes at all.

This is the layout error:

I have my forums installed in a different directory than vbadvanced

VBA 2.1
vBulletin 3.5.4

Last night I was able to get everything working perfectly but then needed to start over with a new install. Today the Approx style doesn't work correctly. The header does not show up on the VBA Portal Page but does in the forums.
Can you help me.

you need to update you images paths in your admincp what is you site URL

03-23-2006, 07:48 AM
Hi, thanks for the reply, thought it may be simple (although I don't have much experience of the admin page as yet sorry) but the site url is www.dontfearIT.com.

I pretty much liked all the buttons etc, the only thing that I would like to change is the top left banner as I want to put my own dontfearIT.com image there.

Also is there anyway to make the forum a little thinner i.e not spanning the whole page?).

Sorry for all the questions but good work on the theme / style, prob the best I have seen yet!
