Thanks

Wonderful hack! Thank you very much!

Juust two questions:

1) How many fonts does this hack support? I've tried different ones in the CSS Style bar and have been able to only change to a couple of them.

2) Is there any way to make the letters bolder? I tried different codes, but none worked so far.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I figured out how to make the letters bolder. Just use: font-weight:bold;

I want to add this below my time settings at the bottom of the page...I.E. "All times are GMT -5. The time now is 05:23 PM." Want it to appear below this, can anyone help.

[FazerPaint]

Is it possible to add "Years" to this ?

If it is just a case of editing the xml file, then could someone tell me the code I need to do this, I am fairly confident at editing the file, I just have no idea what to put in there...LOL

GREAT MOD by the way.....:)

Can somebody [help make] this mod [work for] vBulletin v4.2.3?

[Dragonsys]

Doesn't work on vBulletin 4.2.3.

Can somebody fix this mod please?

Well, since it is a vb v3.7 plugin, it won't work, there is nothing to fix.

[akz645]

there is nothing to fix.
You know what I meant...
Edited my previous post.

Since you want to be pedantic about my wording, your statement there isn't true for all cases. Hence that statement is incorrect ;).
As there are plenty of vBulletin 3.6/3.7/3.8 mods that work perfectly fine on vB4. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=269719)

Then why not use this one, which people (you included) report as working on vb v4

I don't like doing manual template edits.
I prefer it all in a plugin. If I ever want to get rid of this feature, I only have to disable/unistall as opposed to keeping track of my manual template edits.
