Im having a problem understanding it all...

[scatpack]

No, not the infinite space of the galaxy.

Here is what I am trying to do. I want to reformat and relayout my forum.

I can't understand what the "RIGHT" way to do this is. Do I create a new Template first? Do I create a new STYLE first? Both?

I want to do this the right way..the first time. I don't want to screw up what I already have doing it.

I can't even figure out what Template set or style set Im using right now!

Under style sets:
Default
New
UBB 5 Style (I guess a leftover from the old days)

Under Templates:
Default
New

How can I know which one is currently loaded right now? Which one am I currently using (so I can base my new board look on the old one, rather than start from scratch)

And after I find out what I am using currently, how do I clone it so I can make new changes on it and not lose what I currently am using? Do I start with the Template first OR Style first? Where is the correct starting point?

I know this may seem long winded.. but I really need to understand the correct way to do this. Thanks for any help you can give.

To create a new style simple select in the dropdowns when doing so to create a new template set. Name the style and the template set and replacement set will be called the same as the style.

So are you saying I should be FIRST creating a new STYLE set? And will this new STYLE set have the same colors/fonts etc, as the one Im using right now? If not, can I clone my existing set or do I have to re-enter in all the settings I currently use?

And after Im done makin all my changes.. how do I turn "On" this new style? I know these probably seem like simple questions to some, but to me they aint'!

If you want a clone of your existing set you can just download it and re-upload it as another name otherwise the new set you create will be the default vb style set.

If you want to keep the colors then select the replacement set when adding a new style :)

To turn on a new style go to properties when modifying the style and click the button which turns it on :)
