Lets get it started :D

Backup your footer template before making any changes. This was tested on vbulletin 3.8.x Default skin & it worked fine.

Go to your Admin CP->>>Your Style>>>Edit Templates>>>footer

Remove the following code first.

<div align="center">
<div class="smallfont" align="center">

$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]

</div>

<div class="smallfont" align="center">

$cronimage


$vboptions[copyrighttext]
</div>
</div>

</form>

Now, find

$ad_location[ad_footer_end]Above that add...

<div class="container">

<div class="col4">

Well done, Great mod mate, keep up the good job! I saw this for vB 4.x was waiting for you to do this for vB3.8!

Example Image:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/08/57.png

After installing it, some of the links cant stay fit, and looks like they are set to be in the middle of everything else.. I its maybe because my theme is custom! I am going to make a few changes later, and hopefully it will work. I will get back and click on the Installed button if it does..

GREAT JOB

Like i said, i tested this on default skin & it worked fine.

Try reducing the width, hopefully it will fix the problem.

.col4 { float: left; margin-left: 56px; width: 262px; }

Go to additional.css

Replace the color in the following 2 locations.

.hfont {

color: #fff;

.footer1 a {
color: whitesmoke;
