Black and Gold 3.5

[Andrew]

As promised I have ported over my popular Black and Gold style from vB 3.0.X to vB 3.5 and I have also made some minor changes to it. I received a lot of requests to apply the category spacing modification to the old version; however, due to time constraints I was never able to get that completed but have included it with this release (If you would like a version without this please let me know and I can release it as well.) I also modified a few of the images but the majority of them remain the same as in the previous version.

As always please let me know of any issues with the style - I tested it pretty thoroughly and wasn't able to find anything out of place but I have missed things before.

Update 3/05/2006 Version 1.50
* Updated the .XML file for vBulletin 3.5.4.
* Added reworked status icons for the threads courtesy of dvsDave.

Update 11/20/2005 Version 1.40
* Updated the .XML file for vBulletin 3.5.1.
* Current users need just revert the two templates that changed since 3.5.1.

* Added new IM icons created by Lecter - No changes made to the XML file.

Update 10/08/2005 Version 1.20

Yay! First 3.5 Gold style, I think I'll add this to my Forum. Thanks Andrew.

[Oblivion Knight]

Very nice, I may well have a use for this! :)

[Kirk Y]

I think you forgot to upload spelling.gif to the editor directory. How can I seperate the Quick Reply BBCode Bar and the Quick Reply Form with a line? Like how the Quick Reply is here.

[KidneyBoy]

Heyas. Firstoff Great work on the skin/template! It's very similar to the old Solaris and subBlack templates I used to use on phpBB!

Anyway, just quickly installing and viewing on my "Area 51" test board, I noticed that a couple icons were missing. These are the editor/attach.gif and editor/spelling.gif (I haven't seen any others, but I haven't thoroughly gone through it either).

In the mean time, I've replaced them with ones that the "default" forum comes with. The spelling one is a bit hard to see, but otherwise :)

Anyway, again great job! I'm only on day 2 of owning vB and I'm loving it. Thanks for being a contributor!!!

Take it easy
KidneyBoy

[tomf688]

Any chance of replacing statusicon/subforum_new.gif and statusicon/subforum_old.gif with something that works a bit better with the style (yellow, for example ;))? Other than that, no problems so far from me, and GJ.

[Andrew]

I have made notes of all the issues and will try and get an updated version uploaded later this evening. I'll send out an update to everyone who has it installed as soon as I am finished.

[utw-Mephisto]

I just love it *installs*

Could you do me a huge favour though, could you PLEASE PLEASE do four more buttons for me ? I am such creative n00b :)

I would need these too :

Always glad to please a couple Steelers fans - Last weekend was a rough one for sure ...

[Lecter]

I love this skin. It almost matches my site perfectly. Thanks!

One minor request: are there online icons that work well with the black background? I've attached a screenshot showing the issue.

Lecter

[Andrew]

I'll take a look for some when I get home from work - If I can't find any I'll make a new set sometime tonight.

[Lecter]

Thanks Andrew!

Adnrew, I'm working on a skin, I was wondering if you'd mind giving me a hand (lead me to water). There are some code issues I have and the styles I have such a difficult time with editing.

I keep getting lost in the style manager and what exactly effects what. Sometimes I get it... other times I get lost and I can't figure out how to modify a specific part.

This is the skin so far.

I haven't started on the images yet, but know exactly what I'll do with them and how to apply most of them.

http://www.7hmgaming.com/forum/index.php?styleid=30

[buffness]

I would I change the gold to green :) ?

[buffness]

how do you install this by the way?

[Andrew]

Here you go - This should give you a pretty good idea on how to install styles:

First step is to upload (via FTP) the images from this style to your website. Just overwrite my images folder to the existing images folder (It won't delete the old stuff - Just add the new images to it.)

Once you upload the images goto Styles and Templates >> Download / Upload Styles in your AdminCP.

On the Download / Upload Styles page click the Browse button next to "EITHER upload the XML file from your computer" and find the "black_and_gold.xml" and open it.

Finally press the Import button and it should do the rest of the work for you. If you have any other questions or can't get that to work let me know and I'll try and help as best as I can.

[TheFocusElf]

Very nice style. I won't use it on my site, but it made me smile. Very clean, nice antialiasing, and wonderfully crisp simultaneously.

Makes me think of bumblebees without the use of an egregious amount of yellow or striping that might drive the eyes bananas (thanks Gwen for the permanent spelling of banana that will never ever leave me alone...).

Well done.

**I was a fan of Edge -- used it on my Online Game Clan's forums... wonder if it will see an advanced 3.5 version down the pipe!**

**I was a fan of Edge -- used it on my Online Game Clan's forums... wonder if it will see an advanced 3.5 version down the pipe!**
It's currently in the works as are a couple of new styles - However, I've been swamped recently with some of my regulars needing their sites upgraded to 3.5 so I haven't had much time to continue working on them. I'll send an update to all the 3.0.X Edge users when the 3.5 version is released though.

[Lecter]

I'll take a look for some when I get home from work - If I can't find any I'll make a new set sometime tonight.No rush, but I wanted to check in on the status of the icons.

Sorry mate - Been swamped with clients recently and haven't had much time for my styles. I'll try and get a new set uploaded this weekend - Will send you a PM when I do.

[steadicamop]

An absoloutely awesome style and thanks for giving us the PSD options of customising :)

Just one quick query - when I try to alter the width to 70%, all the forums indent further, to around 50%, looks a little strange as the header and footer are longer .... any way I can fix this? Other than that, thank you so much for such an excellent piece of work!!!

[Andrew]

I'll take a look and see if I can't dig up what that problem is - I know you can set it to a fixed width in pixels just fine but I never tried any other percentages .... whoops ... :D

EDIT: There indeed was a problem but I fixed it and uploaded a new archive containing an updated .XML file.

[Lecter]

yeah, probably try putting 790 or 800 instead of 70%

[slamdog]

there is no style file in the zip, just a copy of your vb installation files...

wow hope its fixed soon I really like this style a lot and would love to use it on my forum!

Your site looks great!

When you add styles, do you have to modify it at all to work with your portal?

[Kirk Y]

Any chance you could make it wider?

Yeah, lol. When I first installed this it was Fluid... but now that I've updated, it's become Fixed.

[Andrew]

Yeah, lol. When I first installed this it was Fluid... but now that I've updated, it's become Fixed.

You can set the width to whatever you want it to be in the AdminCP - Just go to Styles and Templates > Style Manager > All Style Options. On that page just change the "Outer Table Width" option to whatever you like - It can be any percentage or a fixed number of pixels. It's currently set at 70% as I was fixing an issue which caused it to display incorrectly at any percentage except 100.

[Andrew]

This style should work with any of the portals available for vBulletin 3.5 - No additional modifications should be necessary.

I'm having a hard time with image paths:
I only changed the image path to: forums/images/bgold/misc/logo.gif
In Firefox it works fine, in IE it looks for: forums/forums/images/bgold/misc/logo.gif

And when I remove the forums in the path, it works in IE and doesn't in Firefox.
Any idea how to fix this?

That's kind of bazarre - I've never experienced anything like that before (And I test all of my skins in Firefox/IE/Opera.) Can you try putting the full path to your images in (I.E. - http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/images/bgold/misc/logo.gif) ? Let me know if that works for you.

If I have several styles, a ll using the default smilies and post icons... How can I sepcify to use your Optional Post & Smilies graphics just with this style? Or which template(s) I need to modify to have them point to these graphics? :(

To be honest I'm really not sure if there is a way to do that or not - I'll take a look on my developement forum and see what I can come up with.

[GuaRRand]

doesnt work with 3.5.0.
It says it cant import cause its made for/with 3.5 RC2

How do I add this style to my vb3.50 site?

[twitch]

choose ignore version when you upload, its an option on the upload screen

[Andrew]

I made this style with 3.5.0 so it shouldn't be saying it was made with 3.5 RC2 - Can a couple more people please verify this ?

[Andrew]

You will need to run the installers for the hacks again to reinstall the templates - Most hacks include a feature in the installer to only install them. You can also just copy and paste the code from the old templates into new templates in the Black and Gold style - However, I think the first method I suggested would be easier.

[JGNYC]

I'm having a huge problem.
I'm using it with phpportal. When guests view the forum home page, the forums don't allow the column on the left and drops all the way to the bottom of the page.
It works fine for people that are logged in.

Edit: I think it may have something to do with some of my forums being members only and this theme adding the private column which makes it wider.
Is there anyway to fix it?

You most likely will need the change the column span values in the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template (I think that's the right one but I'm not 100% sure on that.) It is only set to allow 5 or 6 columns wide at the moment (It varies because of the moderator column) - I think you'll need to use another conditional in that location to allow it to be 5, 6, or 7 columns wide.

[Andrew]

Sorry for not responding to you about that - I checked the source files for my style and the images/misc directory from a fresh vBulletin 3.5.0 installation and those images don't exist in either one. I would try removing and reinstalling the style and see if that fixes the problem - Otherwise I'm at a complete loss as to why it would be looking for those images unless they are for a hack or mod you've installed.

I'm in there now, do I just change a #? Or do I have to add a whole new line (which I don't know how to do)

[JGNYC]

I think I was wrong about the width thing because nothing is really added when someone logs out.
It just appears that the forum is too large to fit so it is knocked down below the blocks on the left.

Can you PM me the link to your forums - It's really hard to diagnose a problem like this without being able to see it first hand. Odds are if I can see the problem I can rework a template that should work for you.

I have tried to install this style, and I believe I missed a step somewhere. I uploaded the images folder to my forum directory, then uploaded the xtml. I made the style active, but when I try to use my style dropdown selector in the forums themselves, it gives me an error. It doesn't even try to load the style. the icon on the bottom left in the status bar in IE has the "!" that is synonomous with microsoft errors. When I double click it I get an error message. See the thumbnail below. Did miss a step somewhere?

As you have already said, you installed it on a fresh vbb3.5 and you do not see the images either. I have several other styles installed and they are not giving me that problem.

Are you saying that your style does not use these images?
Can you give me a website that is actually using this style? Let me see how it looks there?

I don't know of any styles that use those images including the vBulletin default style. Unfortunately I am using one of my clients dev boards for workling on my styles until I can renew my license and download 3.5 - Because of that I can't link you to my working copy. However, with 80+ installs I am sure someone here has a working version that you could take a look at.

In the "forumhome_fourmbit_level1_nopost" template you need to set a width="XX%" value for all of the table cells. If you don't understand what that is let me know and I will post a replacement template for you - I had someone else request how to do that as well.

[biagrin]

thanks andrew - i appreciate the quick response :)

I've noticed the "last post" area's are all different widths.

Can you tell me how to make them all the same so that they fit the widest title?

[Andrew]

In the "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" template you need to set a fixed width for the last post column. I don't have the style installed on my new developement forums at the moment or I would give you a more detailed explanation. Let me know if that doesn't make sense and I'll try and post a new template entirely that you can just copy and paste.

[Lecter]

Since I am interested in this as well, I looked at "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" and the only line I could find with last post in it was:

<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>If I change width="175" to width="500" there is no change. If change it to width="50%" all but the first forum are affected.

Is there another line that should have a fixed width applied to?

<td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>

And replace it with:

<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="41">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="60">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="60">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="125">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>

You might need to alter the individual widths to suit your forum, but for the most part this should fix the spacing problem. Please keep in mind though that if you have a thread title that is really long (Like a URL) it will still throw the alignment out of wack and that is unavoidable.

[optrex]

Thanks Andrew,

You gave me the clue I needed. I copied the whole of the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost file from my default style to your style and it sorted it ;)

[GuaRRand]

The additional icons are smilies... :?

[Andrew]

The additional icons are smilies... :?
Yes - They can be used to replace the default vBulletin Post Icons and Smilies (Which are smilies as well - Just different ones.) The default vBulletin ones look horrid on a dark background - If you want to use them just overwrite the contents of the images/icons and images/smilies directories with them.

[Zombie79]

I have translated it to german and modified the thread statusicons and some other things. Now I use it on powerforen.de (http://powerforen.de/forum/?styleid=13).
Nice Style. ;)

Andrew, just upgraded to 3,5,1 - any issues reported using this version???

Yea / Nay??

Rabbit

[Andrew]

No - There were only minor changes to the templates between 3.5.0 and 3.5.1. However, If you don't mind the wait I can download a new .XML file from 3.5.1 when I get home from work. Come to think of it I should prolly do that anyways :p

[OneShot]

I've got Black&Gold 3.5 running on a 3.5.1 board. Absolutly no problems I can see.

[JGNYC]

I'm having trouble with the color in the quick reply box and regular reply box. There is no frame so you can't see where to type.

[Andrew]

I've had one other person report a bug like that. However, he was using the 3.0.X version of the style on 3.5.X (Which causes that glitch among many others.) Are you using the correct version of Black and Gold for the version of vBulletin you are running ?

Yes, I'm running 3.5.1 and just uploaded a fresh style and still have the same problem.

[JGNYC]

It appears to be working again. I think it was an image path issue.

[Andrew]

<font color="Yellow">The .XML file has now been updated for vBulletin 3.5.1 - If you are currently using this style and plan on upgrading or already have upgraded you need only to revert the two forumhome_forumbit templates that changed since 3.5.0.</font>

[OneShot]

Which templates exactly have changed? And I noticed a problem, when I change the Thread title after posting, the updated title is perfectly visible when I look up the post/thread, but in the forum view - both main and sublevel it still shows the old one. Its not the biggest problem around but its quite annoying sometimes.

The "forumhome_forumbit_level1_post" and the "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" templates are the only two that require a revert. As for the thread titles not updating - That sounds like more of a bug with vBulletin itself and not with the style. Might want to check vB.com to see if anything like that has been reported.

[OneShot]

Thanks for the info. As far as the thread edting goes - that is a "feature" in vBulletin to disallow Thread Title editing after a certain time period.

why doesnt this work when i add sub-forums?

I had that same problem.

I fixed it by only allowing a certain number of characters there

vB Options -> Forum Listings Display Options -> Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters

try setting that to something like 15?

[Andrew]

That's the easiest way to fix it without getting messy with the templates, and the moderator column is an option somewhere within vBulletin itself (It's on one of the vBulletin Options pages, but I can't remember which one it is.)

[OneShot]

I got the same problem as topanet. Any ideas on how to fix it, except the solution from LincolnInForums?

Cheers

[Andrew]

Did you try the column alignment fix that I added to the style description ? If not, give that a try and it should fix the spacing issues. If you have tried that and it didn't fix it I can take a look and see if something changed between 3.5.0 and 3.5.1, but it will be a day or so before I can look into it.

from the lastet download, you have already fix this issue in your xml...
so when i take a look your forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost is already change with your update..

here is i try to update the column fix:
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="5%">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="55%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="30%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="125">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>

also in Main Table Width (StyleVar) i used 95%... it look perfect when our browser is 1024x728 also in Maximum Size condition, if you minimize the window (scroll min) the table will be mess up again..
i don't know what happen... still confusing right now..

[Andrew]

I know I fixed the problem with the Main Table Width style variable - You should be able to put anything in there and have it work (Within reason.) Also - If the column allignment fix has been applied I can only assume that it's because you're allowing too many characters in the Last Post column. I tried to break it on my developement forums and was not succesful. If you want to - Send me a PM with a link to your forums so I can take a first hand look at the issue.

[topanet]

i have somethin interesting after i doing your advice to revert the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost into default..
1. BEFORE LOGIN, all table is lost.. see attachment
2. AFTER LOGIN, the table is good and align... no matter we minimize or scroll min or max, the table still constant and looks good... see attachment

hope can give you some idea to fix this???

many thanks for your support..

topan.

[Andrew]

You need to revert all of the Forum Home templates that I modified - I think all together there are 3 forumhome_forumbit templates as well as the main forumhome template that were changed.

[Farcaster]

I'm having an odd issue that I'm wondering if anyone has encountered before with this skin. For moderators, the forum display is showing the list of topics, followed by the regular footer, and then it repeats the entire topic list again starting at the "New Thread" button. Any idea of where this duplication is coming from? It does not do this for non moderators.

[Andrew]

Could you post a screenshot or two of the problem so I can get a better idea of what's happening ?

[studiodrama]

ok, i'm a total noob at this so forgive me..

but can anyone tell what is missing with my installing this style? I notice light blue and white still... when i think it should be black like the screenshot.. can anyone tell what i have missing or did wrong?

http://theanimalhouse.us/forum/

ty so much

[OneShot]

After you uploaded/installed your style in the ACP, you have to upload manualy the needed images. And then to make it show you can either set it as Default Style for your board, or if your users are allowed to select a style you should have a Style Selector Box at the lower left of your board.

[Andrew]

Here's a set of instructions I wrote that I found buried in this thread - Hope it helps you out:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=787027&postcount=024

[studiodrama]

ooo, thanks you guys! One shot, I believe my Black and Gold images are all showing up, it's some left over light blue and white background from the default style that I still see..

Thanks so much Andrew, I've read the instructions. That's exactly what I did, and I did it again just in case and the light blue and white are still there. I see the black and gold images, I just don't see the black background in some areas.. I do see new yellow text, but it is over white background. It's as if only half of the style .xml is showing up. Some default colors are over-riding it or something.

Could this be because I have Vb 3.5.2 and the style is version 3.5.1 ?

or do I need to delete the default style or something? I do show both default style and Black and Gold style in my style manager.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder. It's as if some light blue from the default style is overiding the new style. Any ideas?

(forgive me everyone, this is my first forum)

Did you add it as a new style or as a child to the default style ?

[studiodrama]

Wow Andrew.... i was just looking at my forum... and i see a style picker at the bottom left of my forum.. It was on default style. I chose black and gold and now everything is perfect!!!!!

Wow, ok, now I will try to remove the user option to chose a style.. hopefully I can do that.

Thank you so much for helping me... I can rest easy now... as soon as i remove the chooser.. lol

Ty so much :p

in admincp under styles and templates, find black and gold, click all style options

scroll down till you see input fields, i think that is right one.

change colors there, and be sure font isn't black or it will be hard to see ;)

[Supes]

excellent thanks, that did the trick :D That particular section was blank for some reason.

[Cromulent]

So does this have the new Skype images that were introduced in VB 3.5.2 or does it just use the default ones? Nice style by the way, I think I maybe using this one in the near future.

[Andrew]

No - This doesn't have matching Skype icons. I will see if Lecter can get a matching one, since he is the one that provided me with the dark version of the other icons.

Any word on 3.5.3 update

[Andrew]

Any word on 3.5.3 update
There weren't any changes between 3.5.2 and 3.5.3 that affected this style, so even though it's a 3.5.2 XML file it will work just fine with 3.5.3. I will eventually update the XML file though, but I just had my wisdom teeth removed, so I'm a bit under-the-weather at the moment.

I installed it I feel you on that ? if i would whant to chane the gold outlines to Pink how hard would that be

[Andrew]

You would have to edit all of the images and the CSS to change the gold to pink. If you have Adobe Photoshop it shouldn't be that hard. If anything it's going to be time consuming.

I uploaded and installed this incredible theme a while ago for my site, http://www.controlbooth.com, and a couple members noticed that the grey thread status icons were hard to see against the dark background, so I edited almost all of the thread status icons in macromedia fireworks(except for the plain closed envelope, not really any editing to do there). I have uploaded a zip file with the edited images and the png files that I used to create them.

Here's a screenshot of what they all look like:

Cool - I considered redoing those myself, but business has been kind of hectic lately. If you don't mind I'd like to add them to the main distribution and add you as a supporter for the style. If you're cool with that I'll update the XML file to 3.5.3 as well while I'm at it.

If you're already running this skin on vB 3.5.3 you don't need to upgrade it since there weren't too many template changes that came about with the last upgrade.

[flavoflav2000]

I run bglold on www.westcoastbikers.com (http://www.westcoastbikers.com) - I am having users inform me that when they go to register or send email they cannot see their font. I investigated and it seems like it may be google tool bar and its autofill feature.

With IE and on firefox as the browser google toolbar autofill makes the background light yellow - very close to the set font color, so you cannot see it. This confuses people.

is there a script to disable autofill on certain form fields? or can I change the font just on form fields? Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Suggestions? :ermm:

J -

[Keyser520]

Are you making one for 3.5.3? I really like your style but it wn't let me install it as you made it with 3.5.1 and I want it on 3.5.3

[???`S?LV?R???`]

It'd be awesome to see a 3.5.4 version of this, I tried installing on 3.5.4 and it came out all compacted, not stretched on the page like I've seen some of the other's installations. I'm not sure why it did that, but can anyone here show how to fix this?
Can someone with this working properly on 3.5.4 post some steps to get this working correctly?

And also... does this affect the 3.5.4 version at all since the templates might not be updated to any changes that might of occured within the 3.5.4 version?

Here's a screenshot of how my installation came out.

[Andrew]

You can install this on 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 without any problems - None of the template changes affect any of the templates that I customized. I do plan on updating the XML file though sometime this week. I will send out an update once the new one is uploaded.

As for the width thing you just need to change the value for "Outer Table Width" in the Styles and Templates section of the AdminCP. A value of 100% will make it span the full width of the window.

[Ockie0107]

I love this template, however, is there anything that can be done about the sizing of the last post column so that they are all the same sizing? Right now it looks kinda odd not having it all aligned.

Any ideas or fixes?

I haven't tried this out on 3.6 yet myself, but I do plan on releasing a ported version once 3.6 Gold is released later this summer. I might try it on a test installation this weekend just to see how much is going to need reworked.

EDIT: I tried installing it on a localhost installation of 3.6, and at the first glance it is going to need some major reworking to be fully functional (Over 20 templates had major changes made to them.) I might just start over with a clean style once 3.6 Gold is released, but I will definately be porting it over (As well as hopefully releasing some new styles :))

Well.....?

[Mysticales]

AdminCP, Styles, Upload Style, vola.

Also yes, the features are there, I have not seen any issues when I 1st, reverted all templates, then have it as a child style to my main style. Just keep the custom stuff, like custom common templates, main css and style vars, Everyone on the inside, can be set to child linking off your main. This way should you use alot of plugins, mods etc, it will all update without having to set them all up. =)

Some of my users and myself asked this..can you make this so it has a Blueish or purpleish color instead of gold? We LIKE the whole layout, but am looking for one in a coolish color vs gold. =)

This awesome style wont load on my 3.5.3.......


OK I will rephrase ......I did upload this style, had to ignore........went to that
style and many things were not in correct locations or didn't work.....Yes I'm a greenhorn to vB, but I have installed a few styles and many hacks. This is the only one I have had any problem with...Any help would be great....

If I remember correctly, there was a big difference in the phrases and config for 3.5.4 which required the full upgrade of 3.5.4 to use.

Thank You Mysticales for the info....

No I learned the hard way.. one time I went to install the AWS system... messed EVERYTHING up on my AdminCP, kept getting database issues etc.. messed up and just restored a 3.5.4 AdminCP folder to FTP.. made a mess of MORE things. Till I learned that OOPS.. 3.5.4 had some changes in there that was a required upgrade install to fix things, meaning before that was outdated stuff.

I need to just upgrade to 3.6 and be done........I have been loading way to much on my site.

[Mysticales]

I think Ill goto 3.6.0 after the year gets closer to running out and everyone moved all the good well known plugins over and show its stable, Otherwise, 3.5.4 is nice and mods and plugins work well.

I'll be upgrading the style to vB3.6 next week - I'll send out an update notice to everyone when I do.

Any chance this might get recreated for 4.0?
