Hello all,

I am a vBulletin user all the way back to vB 2. I am having a lot of trouble finding the appropriate templates to modify in vBulletin 5. Things that once were simple seem to be much harder in this version but I hope it's just a new way of doing things and the ability is still there.

I am developing a new forum at http://www.celestinevision.com/forums/ and after a good bit of work, I have imported the site's custom headers and footers but I cannot, for the life of me, find where vB is setting these column sizes from the layouts in site builder.

In css_b_layout.css, I found reference to the 15/70/15 layout but that, in turn, references a div class of "l-col__large-8 l-col__large--move-right-2 l-col__small-2 l-col__small--move-right-1 l-col--demo." I cannot find a relating CSS entry for that div. I also can't help but feel like I'm going in circles and wasting time, so I will ask you all: How can i make this 15/70/15 layout closer to 15/60/25?

Thanks for the advice and/or insight in advance!

I just realized that our license includes vB4, so in our case, it may be better to just use 4.

It's not too difficult once you understand it.

As administrator, goto http://www.celestinevision.com/forums/special/css-examples.
scroll down to css_b_layout.css and it will give you the info you're looking for on how the columns are setup and how to create a custom layout.
