Tech Forums - Blue & Silver theme

[Ian Cunningham]

This theme is a simple blue and silver theme that requires only a few files to be uploaded. The Tech Forum theme was originally custom bought as a design for TechForumz.com (http://www.techforumz.com) but I have never used the skin.
Download (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=96907)
Install (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=205912)If you use this skin, please leave the credit at the bottom of the template intact. Just upload the "techforums" directory to your forum root and then import the XML file.

Here is a screenshot of the theme in action:

Update 19th Feb 2009 - Added new icons on request.
Update 24 March 2009 - Added PSD Logo source

Nice simple style. Thanks.

[AzH]

Might be nice(r) to change out the default icons for something else.

Can you explain what you mean a little more please - do you want the category title aligned to the right hand side?

[NAZIA]

This Styles is an awesome style...
Really mind blowing..
Thanks for sharing and designing this style...

Did you also upload the image files? It doesn't look like they are uploaded, or they are in the wrong location (/techforums).

Edit: I had a look at your forums (here (http://www.ezq.org/forums/?styleid=6)) and it does look like the images aren'y uploaded to the right location. Just upload tham and it will work :)

[Ian Cunningham]

BTW, please let me know if this would be any use in 3.5/3.6/3.7 format and I will do that - as it is easy enough to do.

[AroundTheWorld]

Thanks for the style.

I'm wondering how to center my banner... Please use step by step directions and assume I know nothing ;)

[WhiteNewsNow]

Looks like I spent $35 bucks for nothing at completevB for a skin. Yours is the exact look I was going for as a default skin. How great it looks on vb.org! I would love to see it on my site however, I believe there is an issue with the .xml file in your latest upload. Not to kick a gifthourse in the mouth but, I felt I should say something.

Tried to ACP import but it says "Invalid File Specified" for the "vbulletin-style.xml"

Not sure what to do.

As well there are no suggestions for where to upload "1.jpg" Its a rather large file and states that it is windows media player file type.

I'm sure this will work at a later date so thanks for your hard work.

[WhiteNewsNow]

UPDATE

Figured out what the .jpg file is. Looks nice! If I could only install .xml file.

[Safari]

where do I upload them? I haven't added styles since my really old 3.5 vb.

[Ian Cunningham]

The 1.jpg file is just a preview - I'll rename that in the next release :)

The XML file works ok for me on my test site. To upload it:

Log into the AdminCP
Click Styles & Templates
Then Download/Upload Styles
In the "Import Style XML File" section browse for the XML file on your computer
Then click "import" at the bottom of the screen.

[WhiteNewsNow]

Ian,

I have no idea why it would not upload but I went back and tried it again. Boom! It worked like a charm. Thanks very much for replying so quickly with help!

I have actually made it my default skin I like it so much.

vB.org rules! :)

[natbaines]

This is a nice style. I have installed it fine, but the style is only visible on the forums and not on the vbadvanced home page. How do I sort this?

Could you post a link to the forum please and I'll take a look - I don't have any experience with vB Advanced but I can try :)

[natbaines]

Hi Ian,

The style is called blue and is not the default.

The site is www.Christadelphiandiscussion.com

a mouthful I know!

I have slowly been editing the vbadvanced home page image links so they point at the new style images, but I can't seem to edit the navbar or module wrappers.

Any help would be brilliant.

[grabacontroller]

Do you have the psd file for the logo?

[natbaines]

Everything appears fine now...

I reinstalled vbadvanced and it seems to have picked up the style.

Looks great by the way!!

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand - do you want the code to add a banner to the top right corner of the site?

[Ian Cunningham]

You can change them from the style manager overview page, I guess it's the alt1/alt2 styles you mean?

Hello, I have the same issue. Could you tell me exactly where to upload the image files?

[Ian Cunningham]

Hello, I have the same issue. Could you tell me exactly where to upload the image files?

The techforums directory should be uploaded to your forum root directory :) If you post a link to your site I will take a look.

[AES-BMA]

Oh ok. I just had the folder in the wrong place. Thanks!

[romaszek]

yes, ok Thanks!

[JJH35]

very nice and clean, thanks a lot

[DanTHEGREAT]

I am really loving this skin though is there one way for you to make posts also have round corners? thanks.

[Denver Jackson]

Is there anyway I could change the logo lettering but have the same colour background ?

[MultiSync77F]

I like it, but it only came with default icons/images so I decided not to use it. I originally thought it came with the icons/images from the techfourmz website.

[Ian Cunningham]

A PSD logo file is now included, which can easily be edited to suit :)

[Ian Cunningham]

Sorry, but if you remove the credits from the footer template then I'm not likely to help: http://www.fifaranks.com/forum/

That's the only little thing I would ask for to release free templates. :)

[Ian Cunningham]

Would this theme be any use in other colours? If so, please let me know which ones and I'll see what I can do.

I don't have Photoshop is there any way I can get the buttons and other graphics used at TechForumz.com or are those copyright?

I really like it for my IT forum but I can't use it because the default buttons and other stuff don't really go with it. I love the ones on that website.

They are copyright unfortunately.

[bluidkiti]

I love the style. Problem shown in attached image:

Help please.

Also will you be releasing this in 3.8.2?

[Ian Cunningham]

I'm really busy this week, but I'll try to get it fixed in the next few days. Is it broken for everyone on 3.8.2?

[bluidkiti]

Actually that is on a test forum that still has 3.8.1 on it.

[bluidkiti]

I upgraded that test site to 3.8.2 and reinstalled this style and still have the same problem. Any ideas anyone?

[KevinGupta]

photos/icons of other mods isn't showing up on the template? e.g. I have vbexperience installed on my site.. but the icons of this mod isn't showing up on your template..?
What can I do to fix it?

Hi there

I have the same problems as shown above. We have Version 3.8.1.

Any idea, how I can resolve this problem?

I seem to be having some problems with the forum listing lining up for some reason. As you can see from the screenshot the 'last post' column is not aligning correctly from forum area to forum area.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/05/108.jpg

Has anyone else has this issue?

[mywesttexas]

How are you guys installing this, none of my images will show up:confused:

[Ian Cunningham]

I will see what I can do to fix the style problem some of you are having. However I have seen this style in use on many sites I visit and plenty have just removed the credits at the bottom :(

If you had left the credits on your forum (http://crunktimes.com/ct/index.php) I would have helped! Thanks for just removing all traces of it :down:

[mywesttexas]

nm i got it

[Jussel]

Thanks man ;) Very nice.

[KrisCarter05]

Hi Everyone!

I'm new at installing all these vBulletin Styles... so please bare with me. :-)

So I downloaded and installed this style. Love it. Except I can't see the nav bar. The one that says, "UserCP... FAQ... ect..."

I didn't play around with the XML file (I assume that is where it would be)... the only thing I did change was the top Header part.

Did me changing the top header part affect this nav bar? And how exactly can I get the nav bar back?

My site is www.begintochange.com

Thank you in advance for your time... and this great style!

Kris

[KipLarson]

Any easy way to make it fixed? If I use the Main CSS option and change the width it just moves the logo but nothing else :(

Hi Ian,

Thanks very much for this theme, I'm using it on my brand new forum. I've edited it a little. I was wondering if you could help me with something else I would like to edit.

Please see the attachment. I want to make this part smaller in height, how do I do this?, I assume it's by editing the XML file? or by editing the image sizes?

Thanks in advance,

Patrick :)

Edit;

I managed to sort this myself :D

[donnie_ogm]

Very very good theme, it was two year that I was looking around to find a good theme to sustitute the default one.
Now finally my forum has its new theme!

Thanks ... mark as installed.

I've done some minors modifications.

1 header off course
2 changed the colour of the box quote

see it in actions at www.ogmdevelopment.com

[BarelyHangingOn]

Can anybody for the love of jesus get the column on the rigth bigger? When I edit forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and resized the columns the post icon column gets huge for some reason. I can't fix it.

[wrang]
