Hey guys after a huge mistake yesterday on my forum I think were back at 100%. I wanted to see if there is anything that the pros could spot that I might be over looking.


Thank you!

I'm far from a pro but I will give you my thoughts.

Wow, this sparkles compared to what I was seeing while helping you yesterday. Good job getting it sorted!

First thing I would do is remove the version number from the footer - it's not license required and it just makes it easy for the script kiddies and the autospam programs to identify. (Phrase edit.) They'll find it out anyway, I know but there's no point advertising it on every page.

You need a favicon.ico too, to replace the stock vBulletin one, for slightly better branding.

The overall impression is nice - it is a dark style but I'm a personal fan of those. It's not at all garish or lurid, overall nice effect.

Postbit looks nice and well organized, I am a fan of the legacy postbit too. Some nice customizations there. You might install the "signature only in first post" mod, to clean up postbit even more.

I don't dig KeyCaptcha or any other of the puzzles, questions or any other such on registration - autospam programs such as XRumer have pretty much defeated these anyway, and they do nothing to inhibit the human spammer, and merely annoy the legitimate user..

Overall it's quite nicely done!

Thank you! Its a far cry better than yesterday. Thanks again for your help. I have a favicon just need to get it swapped out. I agree on he KeyCaptcha sdaly we have had people give up the registration process because of that darn thing.

I do have a mod for the sig to only show once per thread but i think it no longer works with 4.2.2 so ill def have to dig into that as well.

thank you for taking time out of your day to double check my work.

My main mission right now is figuring out how to darken this section up. We have already had people complaining that its to light.

Not sure where to edit that in vB4, in 3 it's in the "All style options" for the style, near the bottom. You may have to find a set of dark-themed images to replace those, however.

In v3 the option looks like this:
