scares me

really

Not a bad idea, content looks good. The skin fits, although why is the forum positioned to the right?

[chrisroo]

yeah i'm trying to fix the forum position

Nice clean style, the green compliments the dark environment nicely. One thing I will say is change the post Icons, As you can see there is white matting surrounding the edging and this looks visually terrible especially on dark styles. I would recommend that either you change the vbulletin stock icons and alter them so that they compliment your background colour or go with something custom.

I'm sure Princeton released a dark matted set of post icons in the vb.org Image database so it might be beneficial in taking a look.

Nice work and goodluck with your forum. :up:

I really like it, clean and organized forum. The skin really flows with your subject.

Just a suggestion though, try to remove unneeded links in your 'Site Navigation.'

If I were you, I would remove the crossed off links in the picture below since you already have those links in nav bar or else where around the forum.

Good Luck!

Actually, that's a good genre for a forum. :)

I can't seem to find post icons... Could you point me in the right direction?


Also can someone please help me out with my alignment just on my thread pages? I can't figure out what the problem is. My email is paranormalvibe@gmail.com or hit me up on AIM. I will try and compensate you in some small way for helping me.

[Shelley_c]

I've released some post Icons I'm sure in the vb.org database under misc. If I haven't I know I released a dark matted set at my forum but check vb.org first.

[chrisroo]

Is there anyone here that could fix the alignment issues i'm having. I've been looking for hours and I can't figure it out!!! I will post a link on my website to your forum for compensation or pay you like $10.

[Freesteyelz]

The class .side_borders is causing the misalignment. The code is:


/* ***** side borders ***** */
.side_borders {
width: 762px;
border-left: 2px solid #0e0e0f;
border-right: 2px solid #0e0e0f;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}




<div class="side_borders">



Remove the opening and closing <div> tags and your site will be centered. :)

[chrisroo]

That didn't work... I'm willing to let someone go into the admin panel and fix this for me and like i said I will pay you. Its really driving me nutts.

[Freesteyelz]

Hmm. I don't recommend that you offer just anyone access to your Admin CP. Before you consider...

What exactly did you edit out?

[SgtTechHead]

In side_borders you are setting a width of 762 and declaring auto margins left and right:

/* ***** side borders ***** */
.side_borders {
width: 762px;
border-left: 2px solid #0e0e0f;
border-right: 2px solid #0e0e0f;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}Yet, your forum width is set at 900. The side_borders is overriding the margins using 762 for a width. Make the width in side_borders 900 too and it should correct itself.

[Weapon-x]

The site looks really nice.

[XxBuLLeTz]

looks good...i would just get rid of the horizontal scroll.

[chrisroo]

Thanks fixed it!

What horozontal scroll are you talking about?

[Freesteyelz]

I'm glad that you got it fixed. :)

SgtTechHead's fix was better because it left the borders intact. My fix does work because it eliminated the class "side_borders"...The only downside is it's without the borders.

[chrisroo]

OK now that I have all this done, anyone have any suggestions on how a broke guy like me can get members now without paying $$$ in advertising?
