nice style. *clicks install*

Very good style. Just light to keep the eyes easy and pleasing

oh one question, is says to upload images folder to forum/images/bo20 but there isnt any image folder. IT be great to upload it again.

[Sean James]

in your forums main directory there is a directory called 'images' all u need to do is upload the bo20 directory there ;)

[matt2cacnio]

worked perfectly thanks :). Very good skin also

[Jedi Blaze]

Very nice. My users will enjoy this. :)

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Are you the same as the author, or do you have his permission to post it here?

Never mind, wrong read by me.

LOL ^^^ .

Just in case you all are wondering, Griffin is the admin of the site and he did make the skin.

I see someone's nicked one of my graphix...

A dotted triangle?

[Kirk Y]

lol... what's the world coming to when someone complains about another style containing their "dotted triangle"? But this is the best RC2 style I've seen as far.

You got to be joking lol

Thanks for everyones comments :D i will be also releasing Darkness and USFTECH in the next few days.

[Azhrialilu]

Well I for one can confirm Griffin has had that style up for vb on Blue-Pearl for quite a long time before releasing it here, so it's unlikely he's been stealing images :) plus there's the fact, he's so bloody good at designing his own.

[b6gm6n]

You got to be joking lol


Sod it...have it, enjoy! - check the attached...anything you wanna have just copy and paste!

[matt2cacnio]

^^^^^

is that sarcasm?

[Sean James]

This dude on drugs?
the triangles r not even the same and even if they were the chances of people design that misc graphic simliar is pretty high, so get off your high horse, and i dont steal other peoples graphics and designs and dont like to be accused.
I have designed several designs for VB and phpBB and never once have i heard crap like this.

Your making yourself look like an idiot.

[Bad Bunny]

It's sort of hard to escape triangles and plus/minus signs for that graphic.

Your making yourself look like an idiot.

Look, if you feel you have carte-blanche to take other peoples work and pass it off as your own fine... i don't think it was intentional in this instance, it's really not a big deal concidering it's just a small graphic, but i just wanted to point this out, the "collapse_thead.gif" you have used there is extreamly similar to one which was posted with my hardwired skin, (highest downloaded skin at vbtemplates) it's been floating around the web for a while now and i'm sure parts of my skin have been used for various other graphical works/skins... kinda flattering really...

I'm not having a go... but please do tell us all how you designed that graphic? just to put the critic/cynic in me at rest.

I know how i did it... if you did the same then great minds think alike don't you agree? - you have a good skin there, don't shoot yourself in the foot by ranting, there's no need to get angry about this.

EDIT : just outta curiosity is this yours (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=31095)? - very nice! - where did you get the smiles etc ? and the collapse graphix for that? smiley colours look like my hardwired skin (see attached) very similar...you must be reading my mind dude!.

-b6

[Sean James]

u want to know how to design the same image?
Were not talking a complex graphic here dude, its a 12x12 GIF file with dots in it. Anybody with photoshop can design that graphic in 1-2minutes, if u check all my style releases i have been using the same graphic on all my releases for over 1 year now in differents color and borders.

As for the smiles they were never released in that theme, if u care to download it ;) the file contains gold icons.

The icons in the screenshot were going to be used in my latest template USFTECH.
http://www.usftechgaming.com/community/ which matchs the color of my templete which i have been working on for months. But if they r exactly the same as yours used in your template i will now be searching for news one, as i dont want to be called a ripper for them also.

I have the same animated smiles in 5 different colors which were downloaded from phpBB.com, your proberly best to chase this up with them, if u designed them yourself.
As you said:
it's been floating around the web for a while now and i'm sure parts of my skin have been used for various other graphical works/skins... kinda flattering really...

I dont believe great minds think alike nor do i believe i have read your mind, the graphic is similar but i have been using the same style graphic in all my templates since i released 'bluepearl' ages ago.

I take alot of pride in releasing free templates for both the VB community and the phpBB community and all the work in my templates r designed 100% by me, with the exception of smiles, icons etc. I sometimes color overlay them but that is the furthest i will go as smiles r not my thing.

Anyways like i said goto www.phpbb.com and follow up with them about your smiles.

[Gizmo5h1t3]

before all the +++++in about whos image this is, who wotevert hat is, can i just ask if anyones found a small bug on this style?

when u are in the style, and u click on style chooser, mine doesnt go to any of the other styles, and shows a warning, error on page yellow traingle bottom left of window...
anyone else?

[Sean James]

I had this same problem with my board and local test forum when i upgrading from 3.0.8 to 3.5, i just presumed it was a bug in VB because i heard somewhere the VB developers have to rewrite some javascript.

I could be wrong, and this could be a error on my behalf when upgrading VB which has been inherited into my theme.

Anyone knows the answer please let me know

[Phlex]

you cannot choose the language in the footer

[b6gm6n]

Griffen80 is indeed a great designer, we have PM'd each other about this (something i really should have done first) and cleared this all up, i thank him for his replies & candour and hope to see other fine works of his in the future! - I've got a style to finish tonight and i'm sure he knows late nights and endless coffees are needed to help finish everything off and the last thing you need is an un-harmonious discord between style gurus!

( if we dare call ourselves that )

Did i say nice style btw? ;)

Hey man, its all good, i would like to also apologise for any abuse i did post, not in my character.
Your styles are also very very nice, i love the way u work with the CSS, its very unique.

Yeah i know all about late nights, watching the sun rise while trying to keep your eyes open lol i make most of my mistakes between 3am-and 7am lol

Thanks Itttcoder its a very exciting time having a new baby on the way :D

Ok i found where i went wrong.

In the footer template find:

<select name="styleid" id="ressel" onchange="switch_styleid(this)">
<optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_style_chooser]">
$quickchooserbits
</optgroup>
</select>


And change it too:

<select name="styleid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">
<optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_style_chooser]">
$quickchooserbits
</optgroup>
</select>


I will change the above attachment within 5 mins.

dude you stole my color scheme!

[JirQUEST]

great style. i love it totally.

[tanyeri24]

first of all nicely style but I didn't install yet. my questions:
only fixed version (like on http://www.bluepearl-design.com)?
and 2nd if there also pdf files of grafix included (may editing buttons cause other language etc..)?

[Sean James]

Thanks for your comments jirQuest ;)

Tanyer the theme looks exactly like the one used at Bluepearl Design, i will find the buttons and make them available in the next 12 hours.

If u download bo20 for VB 3.0 is package already has the button templates, dunno why i left them out of this release lol will update soon

[Mr Chad]

How can i make it so that each forum on the FORUMHOME template is seperated instead of connected?

[jribz]

Griffin, thanks this is a good clean template, great for a starting point to any forum. :)

[Sean James]

U can find a hack on these forums Chatbum that will split the forumhome categorys cant remember whats its called though.

Thanks jribz ;)

[grog6]

Thank you, I'll test it :)

Upgrade for 3.5.0 GOLD ?

[wizard12]

I installed it and it works fine on vb3.5 gold. I really like it. :)

[thenetbox]

Hello :)

I made it 100% width but the thread list is still not showing up as 100% width. Is there something else I need to change too?

I changed the header width and I changed the width too 100% in the style options.

Have your tried editing the width of the main table in the thread template?

[thenetbox]

Have your tried editing the width of the main table in the thread template?

Thank you :) I also had messed up the header. Works now :D

[Electrohead04]

what does that "install" button do?

[thenetbox]

what does that "install" button do?

1. Puts this hacks link in your userCP
2. Automatic notifications when this thread is updated
3. Tells the hack/style creater how many people are using his/her hack
4. Keeps the internet from collapsing in on itself.

[Electrohead04]

okey dokey! so it doesn't actually install it anywhere like on my forum then :)

[miccofl]

Nice style; installed it. Thanks!

[Sean James]

no dude, we can only wish it could be that easy lol

Style updated to Version 2.1

Some templates changes have been made in vB3.5.1 which required some recoding and new graphics.

[notsonormal]

great style! thank you... I have a newbie question though... i'm not sure how to fix these broken images on my vbadvanced homepage...

on the forums all graphics work perfectly, but the homepage seems to be having issues...

the link to the images are the same as in the forums... so i dont understand why it would show up as a broken image just on the homepage... heres a pic:

[notsonormal]

I found the answer here: http://www.bluepearl-design.com/forums/showthread.php?t=712&page=2&highlight=broken

"You need to update the URL in the navbar and footer templates, replacing "images/bluepearl/..." with "/forums/images/bluepearl/...""

[Sean James]

Glad u got it sorted, sometimes VBadvanced needs the full URL to show the images.

Ugh. This template is okay but when you view a PM everything centers left and the PM box fields go nuts, on firefox anyway...

[Sean James]

Ugh. This template is okay but when you view a PM everything centers left and the PM box fields go nuts, on firefox anyway...

Thanks for letting me know, Checked on my site with firefox and can see the same problem. Proberly just a case of setting the tablle to a percentage instead of a fixed width.
Will fix it up when i can and release it again.

Also anybody that finds other errors let me know and i will fix them up in the next release.

[thenewuser]

NP, I do like the whole basic template. :)

[thenewuser]

Also in firefox (I don't know why) when you are viewing a forum then click on the home forum say...

Blahstuff.com > Member General Forums

Okay now say you click on blahstuff.com it will bring you back to forumhome and reset the skin to the default forum skin.

While your viewing topics with multiple posts, my users complain of an optical illusion your border gives. It gives the illusion that the left border is not flush, when it actually is.

Your "New thread" button needs an &nbsp before the graphic so that is will not mesh with the outside border.

I have already made these changes on my forums. Hope this helps.
