Hi,
I am currently working on a mod to provide a drop down menu with selectable image previews for each style used within a forum.
You can see an example here (http://forum.congregatio.co.uk/) but its early days.
Click on Skin chooser (okay, its a bad name. I'm still working on it:D)
a drown down menu displays with an image of each skin, click to change colour.
The problem I have is that whenver you choose a new skin you are automatically sent back to the home page (because of the link I'm using i.e http://forum.congregatio.co.uk/index.php?styleid=1)
This means that if a user changes colour scheme while browsing a thread they get thrown to the home page.
Does anyone know the link that I should use rather than the direct http???
the mod is based on a script from dynamic drive. Once I get it working, I will get approval from them and post onto vb.org.
Any help would be appriciated.
Please note that I also posted this here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=252548) on vbulletin.com. I have duplicated as I know that alot of us get drawn into org for moding etc.

Okay, i have got the look and feel the way I want it so I will add my remaining colour options soon - now just the code lol.
Anyone know the variable I need to add to a hyperlink which will allow me to change style but remain on the same content page?
Jake Bunce was helpful but I think I need some help from a coder on vb.org.
