I want to add a new template, but I've also already added vBadvanced, view guests mod and 24 hour who's online mods.
What do I do to add the new template with these mods all ready there? Are there any instructions?
Thanks :D

I think you mean you want to add a new style. If so, make a new style and make the parent of the style be the style that is all modified. If you do that, all your templates will be the same as the parent style (unless you edit them).

Ahh yes style lol!

OK can I clarify...

I have style A there already with a couple of mods added.

So I add a new style - B and make A the parent of B?

If I select B as the main style for my board all the mods will be on B too?

If I want to add more mods do I just add them or do I need to select A to be my main style first?

It really depends on how complicated the new style is. Let's say you installed Style B 'under' Style A, so Style A is the 'parent' of Style B. Now, assume one of the mods you installed required you to change your postbit template. So, you change that in Style A. It will also be changed in Style B *if* the postbit template in Style B was not changed. If the postbit template was changed for Style B (it would show up in red), then you will have to make those same template changes in Style B in order for the modification to show up in Style B.

I think I might have to come back in the morning and read this again hehehe

The new template is a fixed version of the one I have now.

Is there anywhere with instructions about making template changes if needs be?

Thank you for explaining!

Here's a link in the manual regarding Styles. Under that heading is also a section in Editing Templates - The Style Manager (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/stylemanager)
