Okay I downloaded a new style for my forum. It changes everything for the whole board including the pages created with vbadvanced, but now nothing shows up in the content portion. I checked it out and the problem is tha tI don't have all the templates, Is thier a way where I can transfer all templates that I need at once?

It works with all templates. You need to change the default of the templates when installing VBa.

I usually turn off the vB3 default style and then when I install my custom styles I make then children of the default style. That way I can add new templates to the parent style and have them inherited by the child styles.

In this case... just rerun "vbacmps_install.php" and choose the option to re-install the styles only; that should take care of it for you. After that I'd then re-arrange the styles to have parent/child relationships.

Actually I change it to a child format after the orginal, looks like everythign is working great now though. Thanks for all you help.

Yes, great advice. Too many people just create a new style and then when something is installed each style has to be edited..... grrrrrrrrrr

I learned that one the hard way myself some time ago...lol
