[DementedMindz]

very nice style egtrix I may mess with it and try to get it Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional but I must say its clean loads fast very very nice

[egtrix]

DementedMindz, glad that you like it :) Do whatever changes needed :)

[DementedMindz]

question how are you getting both google ads to show up? i just changed he code to mine the top shows up but not the bottom... also you have a few images linked to your site still

[egtrix]

DementedMindz, as for the Google ads, you have to wait for a while till both appear, this is because Google take some time till it understands the content of your site and begin displaying ads.
As for the linked pics, yes I have linked empty spacer links in order to have protection as from what I saw so far, arund 80% of the users using my skins, remove the backlinks and this help as a protection for my work.

[DementedMindz]

yeah i cant use it right now it dont work to well with the arcade and yeah i seen the links i was like wtf is this... i mean i could see just the bottom footer link but the spacers too? oh well it was nice while it lasted...

[egtrix]

it's ok but if i had users not removing the footer backlinks I would have removed the spacer protection but as you know, this is not the case and I could placed them in a place where nobody sees them but I wanted to let people know about it as it's placed in the header which must be edit by users so they can add their links (and they will probably see it as you did) :)

[Red Matrix]

Good Skin, installed. But I don't need that bar with the image links to arcade, etc. I've been trying to comment it out, but the whole header breaks.

Is there an easier way? Thanks.

[egtrix]

Red Matrix, glad that you like this skin :)
The only way to remove this bar is by editing the attached PSD file and then slicing the header again.

[Red Matrix]

Thanks for your quick responce.

I, however, don't know how to slice images. :( I just want to collapse that red 'bar' easily. I guess I could try commenting out every IMG tag in that area. :-/

BTW, I have installed it on a fresh board that hasn't launced yet. I'll PM you the link.

[egtrix]

ok, as for the skin installed, you will need to change vbulletin options through your admincp to make this skin as your default skin, I will see your PM now and let me see what I can do :)

[Red Matrix]

Thanks. I am using FF, btw.

Also, just wanted to report a color bug. The quick reply container is in a shade of blue, and there is no mutli-quote button. Cheers.

[egtrix]

The skin is working fine on your board, maybe all you need is to refresh your browser :)

[Red Matrix]

I think you mis understood me. I reverted back to the way you had it.

See, all I did was add <!-- and --> tags to certain spots. (commenting-out areas) When I did that, things went beserk. So I removed those codes. I still want help removing that whole bar.

[KevinLiles]

Thank you. Real Nice.

[egtrix]

KevinLiles, many thanks and glad that you like it :)

Red Matrix, ok I got you. If you want to add any code, please added after the </table> tag otherwise things won't go right. As for removing the bar, it's almost immposible with re-slicing images. Thank you :)

[Red Matrix]

Are you going to add the multi quote button, and fix the blue colors around the quick reply box? thnx.

[egtrix]

Thanks Red Matrix for your post. As for the multi quote buttons, they are already there but they need to be themed with the same colors as the skin. And I will try to fix these probs in the next skin version.
Thanks again :)

[TheoMessinis]

brilliant style.....love it, keep up the good work

[egtrix]

Many thanks TheoMessinis and I'm very glad that you like it :)

[Rusticspec]

I believe it is me just messing it up somehow but I have managed to take the forums and threads out of uniform on the first page, the posts numbers etc are now below the post name.. Any ideas how I can return it back?

Nice skin btw :)

[egtrix]

Hello Rusticspec :)
I think re-installing the skin will resolve the problem, thank you

[Rusticspec]

Hello Rusticspec :)
I think re-installing the skin will resolve the problem, thank you

How exactly do I re-install? :ermm: I removed the skin and upload the XML file again but that had no effect? Im new to this forum so am still learning the ropes :confused:

[egtrix]

np :) all you have to do is to uninstall the skin first from your admincp>Styles & Templates and then choose the uninstall option from the scroll down menu in the right panel beside FH_Cairo.
Once done then install the skin again according to the installation instructions in the ReadMe.txt file
Thanks :)

[pini]

Hello apolloooooo, thanks for your post. I will make it for you once i recover from flu ;)

[teedizz]

I like tha style...i was wondering if you were planning in makin this style in both black & blue? i seen u did red & black for 3.5 so i was wondering what tha future held for this because i would like tha same style but in different colors if possible. Thanks * clicks install *

[egtrix]

teedizz, many thanks for your post :)
I have already released this skin in two versions, one blue and one green and you can find them at my site and they are free as well.

[Hemanth]

Hi egtrix

Thank you ery much for such a beautifull skin. I've some issues.

The skin is not working well with vbacmps. Here is a screenshot.

Also can i have a fluid version. Please.. :)

[egtrix]

Many thanks Hemanth for your post and glad that you like Cairo Style, to make vbadvanced work well with this skin, all you have to do is:
1- Remove the page background image and replace it with a color of your choice.
2- Use one vbadvanced column or reduce columns width and the spaces between tables
please let me know how things go on with you.

[Hemanth]

Thank you very mcuh for the support. I'll try them.

btw. How to replace the background image with solid color?

Also all this issues will be fixed if you can provide a fluid template. I'm waiting for it as my sites theme don't fit for a fixed syle. :)

[Rusticspec]

When users post in a thread with this template, all their information like avatars, username and post count etc comes above the post. Is there a small little modification or can one be made where it get moves to the left side like in the standard forum template :)

[egtrix]

Rusticspec, many thanks for your post :) you don't need anything special to do this, all you have to do is to go to admincp>>vBulletin Options>>Styles & Language settings and in the "Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template" just chose yes and that's it.

Hemanth, thanks for your post :)
All you have to do is to go to admincp>>Styles & Templates>>Style Manager>>Cairo Style>>Main CSS
Then in the "Page Background " panel and in the "Background" box, remove the whole line and replace it with the color code you want.

[apollooooooo]

Yes mate anytime you get around to it is fine by me i hope your feeling better soon mate

all the best....

[Rusticspec]

thanks very much :D

[apollooooooo]

Hey mate see aswell is replaceing the Arcades Button to CMAIL can yopu Also do me a replacement Button for advertise button to say shop but i would like the clolur of the font to be the same red as the rest of the site so it stands out

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99829

after the hack is installed, here is the final result

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/3407/untitledps1.jpg

I tried removing the post/thread firld but it still didnt work..how can this be done to make it show correctly? cause it seems as if it always has to show " Last Post, Threads, Post field " above which messes everything up


This is how it looks on my current forums

[Greek76]

Great style by the way but for some reason none of the images icons are appearing... Any ideas. Im new to vbulletin. I uploaded Cairo folder to images..

[davewolf]

any chances of making this into a fluid style ?

I realy want to use it but its to narrow for me :(

Great work !

[egtrix]

teedizz :) glad to see you here too. I didn't forget your problem and once I reach a solution for this, I will let you know.

Greek76, very glad that you like it :) are you using any custom icons plugin?

davewolf, many thanks for your post and glad that you like it, I will try to release a fluid version soon but I will have to make few changes to the header look to suit the coding

[TheJackal56]

I know this is older post but I thought I would try.

I like th skin, nice job and I ill be using it, but a couple of questions.

1. You mentioned a fluid style, do you ever port over to fluid?
2. I am having issues with images, or reply to posts exceeding the right hand side of the skin.

I added some custom smilies for example and now ever post is off to the right, or exceeds the size of the theme. This happens for images, mods etc......

Thanks....

Thank you guys for your posts and sorry for the delay in answering them but I was out of business for a while after selling my website, and now i'm back and starting a new site. And I will make new releases for all the free skins again and I will start with both Faddah Style & Cairo Style which will be updated next week with such bug fixes.

Are the updated versions going to be faster loading?
