I have a client that has hacks such as "Arcade" "VBGarage" and so on. I created a new STYLE on a different forum so I wouldn't mess up his current one. Anyways it was done. I exported the STYLE and Imported it fine. Except the NAVBAR doesn't list the "Arcade" "VBGarage". and when I bring up the old style and copy the link ( example www..../arcade.php) All I get is a white page with nothing.

If I edit my templates, the original of course shows all custom templates for the arcade etc, however my new style doesn't show the custom templates. There missing.

How do I get those templates working on the new style?

Thank You

oh the VB version is 3.0.5

You need it to be a child style to inherit custom templates from other styles.

So my new style has to be the child?

If I use the old style and add my new style to the old style as a child, it will change the look to my new style?

It may, any thing default style settings in it that are customized in the parent style will change to the inherited (not hard to fix though). It is a good practice to have add custom templates into a master style.

Maybe something like:

Default vBulletin style
->custom style 1
-> custom style 2
--> custom style 2a

and have all your custom templates in the top level one, and style modifications in the child styles.
