Using the default vbulletin style, i went through and edited basically everything about it, as i lack the coding knowledge to code my own from scratch. Now i want to move this theme from one of my forums to another.

Insert problem.

Forum2, the one i want to move to, already has a style called 'default', obviously.

I dont want to overwrite the default theme on forum 2; what steps will i need to take to download the edited theme, and do proper renaming/etc so its useable/available for download.

---------

My initial attempt was to download the style and name it what i want. I edited the XML of all instances of the old imagepaths - the problem with this was it didn't copy or save the CSS from the style.

Suggestions? Explanations? Help please?

In the Style Manager, next to each Style's name is a dropdown container that has various style-related options in it; the one you're looking for is "Edit Settings".

To download a style, click the Download/Upload Styles link in the Styles & Templates container.

Okay, let me try to rephrase this.

How do i change my styles image path?

So instead of it drawing all my images from say...

/images/style1

It willd raw them all from

/images/style2

In that same dropdown container, look for Style Variables.
