Still no luck, I edited the vbindexphrases.xml, is that right?

Edit the phrases via the ACP -> Phrase Manager

The paths for my images are are all full urls is there any way my skink could possibly be having issues that would prevent it from being used?

If your using the full URL then you should have no problems.

Somthing is very strange with this skin hopfully i can figure it out...

i have installed EvB liteStats and that uses my custom skin just fine. vbindex wont for some reason

I figured it out, much thanks!

Still having a problem with the calendar though. When you click on a day you get a 404 error message. The permissions are set properly, not sure what's wrong.

NTLDR I wanted to point out another problem. Html doesn't work for the News blocks/threads on the front page. Yes I do have it HTML enable for that news forum id. I can use BB Code on the problem which is no problem. But I would like to use HTML instead. So I have found at least two bugs...this one and the avatars/welcome panel bug, Welcome Panel

I have a question... how easy is it to implement custome styles? One of the things I like abiout vbAdvanced is the fact the only template I had to change was the header, it ook everything else from my custome style.

If its that easy for vbIndex, I will install it (the featured of vbInder are more robust.)

Yes vBindex works very good with custom designs. I just had a design created for me which is opening up today. The only things need to be edited in the vbindex templates were the header and footer.
