Hi,

Since upgrading the forums to VB 4.2, the ability to see the customize profile button on the profile page is not appearing. I've attached some image links to show this, but also attached is the proof that I have also enabled profile styling in vb options and that it is also allowed in my usergroup. Despite all this however, the button still does not appear. Can anyone provide any advice on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Create a new style with no parent:

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
Parent Style: No Parent Style
Title: Default vBulletin
Allow User Selection: Yes
Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

After following the instructions there, I can now see the button. Is there a conflict somewhere in the templates?

Under the style currently being used, the follow templates appear to have merge conflicts after the update: footer, headinclude, postbit_legacy, search_threadbit, SHOWTHREAD and vbulletin-chrome.css. Do any of these contain the profile customization conflict perhaps?

You should always make sure your footer and headinclude templates are updated properly. And, you shouldn't even be modifying the vbulletin-chrome.css template. If you have custom css, you should be adding it to the additional.css template. So, I'd suggest fixing those templates and then seeing if you still have the same problem.
