I found the error (or rather, where it was). It was in the additional.css template. There had to have been improper css code there. I reverted it, and it works as it should now.

*edit

I deleted the css template "additional.css". I pasted the content back into this template. For some reason, the error is gone. I can't explain it. It existed at one time, then at another, it's gone. I don't see how deleting the content from this template then "reinstalling" could do such a thing...all I know is that it seems to be working ok now (the quote issue).

Also, it doesn't look like there is any difference between the icons that represent read forums and unread forums. Is this intentional?

There's no way to tell just by looking at the forum home page whether a particular forum has new responses/threads or not. This is a nifty feature in vb that allows users to efficiently navigate to new content just by looking at the forum home page. Practically all styles take advantage of it...this is the first style that I've seen that doesn't. Just curious if it was an oversight or if there was a good reason to do so. I suspect it was intentional since it would appear you removed the icon legend.

Also, the top forum under each forum category has a different background color than the rest of the forums in that category (white vs light blue).

See attached:

I like the clean looking stylization here...but I think that it needs a little more work. If these minor bugs were worked out, it'd be a stellar skin. ;)

Hi
Look at the original Style this is o.k.
The Style ist the blue.
I think <br> is missing?!
Greetings Jo

nicely done, looks really clean.

I installed per the instructions, copying the vbb-green folder to a styles folder I created in my forum root. There was not one there previously. I also tried copying to the root of my site then loading the xml file. I am not getting any of the icons or images as show in the example. Any suggestions?

Use Internet Explorer, it will replace missing images with a red X. Right click and view properties. Examine the path that image should be. Move all your images to that directory. I had to do the same thing. Works fine now.

That did the trick, thanks.

I don't know which color to use exactly, just something that would match in the color scheme to differentiate between old and new content. I can even change the colors myself...the problem I'm having is that the code seems to have been changed to not allow the distinguishment between new and old content. Without the code there, changing the colors won't make a difference. I just prefer having that difference. Like I said, it's a great, clean style...one that'd I use with the minor issues resolved (and this seems to be the last remaining).

As far as the banner, thanks, but I can at least do that part. ;) I'm just not hip on all the vb4.0 stylevars as I'm still on 3.8.x thinking.
