In vB 3.8 and prior I was able to put a rule on the forum home page to help delineate between each forum. I can't figure out if and/or how to do that. I want a rule between each row and ideally columns too.

Why can't you do that now? I'm not sure exactly what you are wanting to do, but you can still do conditions in vb4.

I can't find a way to put the vertical lines back on the forumhome and forumdisplay pages. So that there are lines between the forum name, threads and last post.

Personally, I could live w/o all of that but my members are complaining that the forum is too difficult to read now.

Previously I set that all up through the css stylesheet in the all style options.

I can't picture what you want to do. Do you have image? And what code were you using before? And what code are you trying to use withvb4 that isn't working?

You would have to modify the forumhome_forumbit templates and add some css code.

I'm curious in knowing exactly what to change. I've seen someone do it before but I can't figure it out.

I am interested in this as well prefer to use CSS if possible and use Lynne's additional CSS mod :D

If you've seen it on a site, then all you have to do is view the .css to figure it out. Did you try that?

It was automatic in all the old vBulletin versions. It's hard to know how to change it in 4.0, and I am not one who can just do it by sight. I need to know what, where and how. Previously you just edited the css style sheet and it was simple.

just taking a quick look, you can add the following in an extra .css file that is applied *after* the vbulletin .css is applied (if you don't understand the significance of that, please read up on CSS as this won't work otherwise). Change color to whatever you want (I didn't look into the actual stylevar names - someone else can write that):

.threadbit .threadinfo {border-right:1px solid black;width:58%;}
.threadbit .threadstats .replies, .threadbit .threadstats .views {border-right:1px solid black;width:49%;}I'm sure there are other ways too, but I just did that quickly.
