This is a premium template that i used to sell, now it is free ;)

Hi, thanks for sharing, great style, i had a question, is there anyway to get rid of the flash and replace it with a .jpg ?

Do you have by change .jpg for the top right corner?

[Sean James]

Here u go, for the online one just copy and paste it in photoshop or paintshop.

[ru55ian]

thanks again :up:

[Romanthic]

Thank You Men!

[Sean James]

Thank You Men!

np, dont forget to click install if u use this template ;)

[Philipaclayton]

very good design, but tis a bit to full if you get what i meen mate.

good stuff though :)

[Sean James]

Yeah i know, but the template was designed for a gaming style - where most users have very fast connections.

I wouldnt recommend this style for anything but gaming ;)

[iVox]

Excellent, and of course installed and marked as installed on my dev server (not yet available to the public, under construction).

First off, for those who opted to remove the flash and use the image method instead for the top right of the header, I used the attached images supplied in this thread and created two new images (which you create on your own) named as follows:

header-right-offline.jpg - the attachment found in this thread
header-right-online.jpg - has the green online graphic copy/pasted via Adobe PS

I wanted the appropriate image to display to the user based on their current login status, so I then edited the common header template as follows - after uploading both images in forums/images/USFTECH/misc:

Look carefully at what I did.

First, I commented out any reference to the Flash .swf file/object. Then I added two conditions which ALSO check the browser URL (stored in PHP's $_GET global) so that it will show offline immediately without need to refresh the screen. I also used the vBulletin class object to reference the login user ID, so it's likely to unchange as you upgrade vB. I also properly referenced the misc directory using vB syntax.

Well, that's how I did it, working nicely on my setup with this most excellent skin.

NOTE TO GRIFFIN80:

On a side note, I'd like to let Griffin80 know I have removed the verbiage USFTECH in all images and templates including credit copyright in the footer. I paid extra to be able to remove the vB copyright info in the footer when I licensed my vB because I am setting up a complex portal using integrated plugins (blogs, live chat, media gallery and forum) all embedded within your skin. What I've done instead is create a "credits and licensing" page linked in my footer which will inform the public of your hard work and credit you fully. I am so pleased with your skin I wish to donate using the PayPal option here. Please contact me by PM on here with an amount you feel is fair and we'll discuss. This will be in addition to the credit page on my site. Trying to be as fair and honest as possible. Thank you, again, for the great skin. If I don't see a PM or a response in a week or so I'll donate anyway. I edited this to correct a typo in the code.

I am having a problem with this style and vB Pager. Whenever a pager message pops up it causes a Internet Explore error and IE has to shut down. Any ideas?

Thats fine, i have no problem with my credits being on another page ;)
And i will be happy with any donation u send, thx for your nice compliments ;)

[Sean James]

The encoded file /home/pearl/public_html/forums/vbseo.php is corrupt.

?

On your site? or when u visit Bluepearl-design.com?
I know my site has this error atm, because i just moved hosts and i need to re-upload my vbseo files in binary hehe, mistake i made while in a rush hehe

I am having a problem with this style and vB Pager. Whenever a pager message pops up it causes a Internet Explore error and IE has to shut down. Any ideas?

Try changing skins back to the vbulletin default one, and see if you still have this issue?
I cant see how my template could be crashing a browser lol

[blind-eddie]

I did change it back to default and all works fine. I cant explain it either..lol I even went back and reinstalled the vB pager to the templates and still a no-go. That style is great too!

[Sean James]

What browser are u using? hmm maybe remove the flash from the header template and see if that works?

[Triky]

Beautiful! :)

[iVox]

Feel free to use anything I wrote above in a future version of your skin, as you wish. I'll donate to ya via PayPal now, thank you for the prompt reply and the cool skin.

I'm not a big fan of Dark themes, but that is a very very nice release... Great job!

[keharris53]

Just wondering if there is still any help available here. Can't figure where to go in styles to correct the width of this style. My url is in the previous post. Would really appreciate the info. Pretty new to this and would like to keep this style, but can't really use it as is. The problem only exists on the main page. All other pages are great. Thanks!

While working on another skin that developed a similiar problem, I solved it. Really simple. Navbar too long. Geez. Thanks for the great download!

very nice skin thanks for your works ;)

[Naxford Gamma]

I absolutely love this style! It's perfect for my forum which I have only just started. You've done a huge favor to a great deal of the vBulletin community by "discounting" this premium style. Downloaded, installed and nominated! Thank you so much!

[Sean James]

Thank you both.

This style was premium for a long time, but i realised not long after i added it to my cart that i should of released it for free, but because i had already sold 20+ copys i needed to wait a year to release it for free just so it was fair to my clients who bought the skin.

[GamBun]

Very impressive style! I may consider this one once my main site pages are up & running. :)

[Sean James]

There is a plugin effecting your layout. Disable them and then see if your homepage is still messed up.

[V25RJB]

Im afraid not i have disabled them all and it was still messed up. i have posted the info in the Darkness thread as its that theme i mainly want to use however it would be nice to use both.

Regards

Rob

[V25RJB]

ok thanks mate after a msn conversation its all fixed thanks griffin!

[SuperTaz]

The style loaded up for me, but there are a bunch of red X's everywhere there should be an image. I uploaded the files into the /forums/images/ directory and it still does not show the images. What am I doing wrong. Here is a screenshot:

September 10, 2007 - USFTECH Version 3.5 released
-Updated to work with vBulletin 3.6.8
-Updated images

[Jeremehovah]

OK, two questions:

1) I can't figure out where to change it so that it will look at my own header image

2) I can't figure out what to change so that my vbadvanced menus on the left will show up on the side instead of above the forums.

2) I can't figure out what to change so that my vbadvanced menus on the left will show up on the side instead of above the forums.

1- Edit the image header.jpg image in the /MISC/ Directory to change the image header

2- Im not too sure how vbadvanced works anymore as i havent used it for ages.

[Sean James]

Made a mistake with the new update for 3.6.8 where i accidently hard-coded my imagepaths to Bluepearl Design.

Please re-download the package if u downloaded it since yesterday

[By_TR]

The image on Mozilla Firefox is seen as on the attachemet a1

and the image on IE is as attachment a2...

how can I solve the problem on IE...

[Sean James]

Do u have flash installed on the a2 browser?

[IPAULR]

Great skin thanks.... I am new to this and i am having 1 small problem.... my side bar is a mess seems like menu bar is to long or a table is off. I saw the earlier post with same prob but did not see how to fix it. Thanks and great work.

view at :

http://www.lumpymonkey.com

[Sean James]

Hey Ipaulr, make sure u have your forum categorys properly configured.

Check screenshot

[IPAULR]

Almost getting close ...I'm still doing something wrong???? Thanks for the quick response..

[Sean James]

alot better, all u need to do now is create forums under these categorys. But using this setting:

'act as forum' = yes

[IPAULR]

Thanks I have to mess with it a bit more.... Great skin and great support:up:

[IPAULR]

Got it... Set Forum Depth to 2

Thanks again...

[Sean James]

oh, should of mentioned that, glad u got it sorted mate ;)

Sean.. Thanks for the excellent skin. I installed it in my gaming forums and looks awesome. :)

Just one thing, my apologies for being greedy. Could you share a PSD for the header.jpg image with some text in it, just like the header in your forums. Sorry I'm very bad at design.:(

[WhaLberg]

Very nice style. Can be used in rock / metal forums. Rated excellent.

I have one issue that just occured. I use 3.6.8 and never messed around with the tables, etc... but it looks like this:
http://img459.imageshack.us/img459/8500/myproblemys1.png

Any suggestions? If there is a correction somewhere, could it please be posted here because I have searched everywhere I could think of for the source of the problem. But everything appears correct.

[Sean James]

Did this problem happen after u added sub-forums? if so make sure when creating sub-forums that u correctly select "Act as Forum (Will act as category if no)" for categorys

[xXTheOneRavenXx]

Now I feel like an idiot for it being something that simple, lol. The Battlefront category was set as a forum, duh. Thank you for your help Griffin. I do appreciate it:)

Thanks mate

[Fenix_Wylde]

thanks for a great theme.

I'm having some slight problems. I uploaded it according to the installation, but some of the graphics aren't showing.. even though they are uploaded into the correct folders.

linky is http://community.000d0.com/community/

Thanks in advance :)

Edit: It seems that some image variables don't like the theme being placed in any other subfolder, even though I edited the StyleVars section

[DangerousDale]

Hi,

I have used this template for some time now, I have recently upgraded to VB 3.7.4 and it seems to look a bit different >.<

Should the template work with this upgrade?

Thanks.

[SYGRecon]

Is this not available anymore? There's no download link.
