tell me what to do plz.

1. I have a custom style and I want the comment messaging style to not be the vBulletin one, but to match my style.

2. I want it so to authors show up as top contributors and not top uploaders.

I am pretty new with vbulletin editing so I am not 100% following what you mean. If you could explain in more detail I would be greatly appreciative.

Like Jelle has said already, you need to create a file named .htaccess (not the period in front of the name). Put the following two lines into the file:

Upload the file into your forum directory (the same location where downloads.php is located.)

This will increase the size of the file you can upload to 30MB.

if i create a new file (xxxx.txt) and try to rename it to .htaccess,
it say "pls insert a name"

how to create a .htaccess

Your service provider may have your access restricted where you cannot create hidden files (that's what the period in front of the name does, assuming your host is running some version of unix).

Normally, files are renamed to add the period at the beginning either via direct command line access or via the renaming feature of your ftp program. If you don't know how to do either of those, your best bet is to contact your host and ask them to create the file with the information we told you to put in it.

now i understand ;)
its done and i try to upload now

error again :(

I"m sorry but you need to provide a lot more info (what is the error, what were you trying to do, what program were you using, etc) before we can try to help.

Adding or modifying a .htaccess file isn't really part of this mod but we understand the need for it. If you can't get it to work, you really need to ask your host for assistance.

when i create a .htcaccse in my forum root directory,
i cant start the forum

That means you have an error in the file.

At this point, you really need to either read up on creating the file (google "creating a .htaccess file") or have your host help you create the file. I'm afraid there's not much else we can do unless you want to PM me your site info along with an admin ftp login and password.
