Glad you like it, if you end up using it please click install. Thanks again. :)

thanks for the new skin. my forums havent opened and im over w/ infopop eve community. im a noob but trying to change over. i would like to customize the header. is there anyway to remove your header and repace it w/ a diamond plate image w/ my logo in it. i cant seem to get my image to look right on the alumimum but i love the body. thanks again

sfxrochester.com is my new comminity and stuntfactoryx.com is my current.

im a myspacer trying! :cool:

Glad you like it. :)

Go into your AdminCP >> Styles & Templates, Choose the style you want to fix, >> All Style Options (Click Go) Then look at the "header", "footer" areas and add your complete URL to areas that might need it in the "logo" areas of the code (ie: /images/heavy_metal/hm/heavymetal_splashright01.jpg add the full URL http://www.yoursite.com/forum/images/. Make sure all the image paths are correct.. ;)

Then do the same in the "Image paths" area... and find add the areas to add it in the CSS (Body, Page Background, Category Strips...)

Hope that helps... :)

thanks for all the help. it fits perfect. i am a noob so im a lil over excited. coming from eve communiy. i never reliezed the possibilities w/ vb and a few guys willing to help. everthing is done over there for you but options are limited. i know very little about this kinda thing and im on about 5 different sportbike boards that are simular to mine and none come close. my old sites been up for 2 months and i have 280 users. all very exciting and fun to build.

excuse the over enthusiasm. help is very appriciated.

but anyways thanks and check it out. im still working on it but will be ready for the changover soon!

sfxrochester.com

Glad it worked out for you. Good luck with your new site. Cheers. :)

Lovely skin, and amazingly helpful and courteous designer as evident by this thread!

I'll be clicking install sometime this week :)

Thanks, I "try" to be as nice as possible.... I'm not always the nice guy though, it's not easy with people these days (read in the middle of this thread and you'll see I wasn't to happy..) But thanks, I appreciate the kind words, I do my best. :)

back again. as you know im knew to all this vb stuff. do u think your skin will work w/ vb36? and if not you have plans to make it work? and maybee i missed it but you have a paypal donation link?

I haven't tried it for 3.6, but if you upgrade your VB and then revert the forumhome template, header template, and footer templates (copy the original to a notepad and then re-adding it so it will get rid of the notice to revert templates on the main page of the ACP)...

Or... you can upload it again and just tick the "ignor style version..."

It should work fine, there aren't any major template changes, mostly just CSS (colors,images).... I really don't plan on upgrading soon so (I could change my mind...) I can't tell you for sure right now... :p

If you would like to donate (no obligation) my paypal address is: Thanks :)

Here are the 3 link's i was trying to install into the footer navbar........Thanks so much for looking into this.

I've decided that will be porting this style for 3.6 this weekend.

I cannot seem to get the thing to display images, im having the same problem the other guy at the end of the first page was having... heres a screenshot of my ftp. Heres a screenshot of how my FTP looks like. The forums display with the colors, just no pictures or images.

If I were to just guess it could be:
or
so for the header right side...:
Go into your AdminCP >> Styles & Templates, Choose the style you want to fix, >> All Style Options (Click Go) Then look at the "header", "footer" areas and add your complete URL to areas that might need it in the "logo" areas of the code (ie: /forums/images/heavy_metal/hm/heavymetal_splashright01.jpg add the full URL http://www.yoursite.com/forums/images/. Make sure all the image paths are correct.. ;)

Then do the same in the "Image paths" area... and find add the areas to add it in the CSS (Body, Page Background, Category Strips...)

Perhaps do a search in the style for "heavy_metal" and you may find some paths that you've missed.

Hope that helps... :)

If all else fails you can you post or PM me a link to your site and I'll write out the URL's for you here (I only give support in the thread...).

Let me know if that works for you and please click INSTALL... Thanks ;)

I got the image paths right to the slightest detail! I dont get this?

www.chasm-online.com is the site and the paths say heavy_metal and not heavymetal.

The looks like none of the main PHP files for your vb are in the "forum" folder....

Remove the word "/forum" from all of the URL's and the pictures will show up. (notice remove one slash and the word "forum"... make sure you don't leave a slash in any of the links..)

YOU ARE A MIRACLE WORKER! IT WORKED!

Thanks so much! I amagine I have to do the same thing to all of my templates from now on but thats fine! Awesome template and awesome tech support! :)

I'm glad it works for you. Thanks for all the kind words. :)

I'm updating the style to make it easier for those have placed thier VB in different folders, it should make future installs go much smoother.... (The zip will be updated in a few mins..)

by far the best i've seen good job ***Clicked Installed**

Man liking this style and has cause some issue with the images i think i'm the only one so far and hope there's a fix for it....pleassssssse..lol...i want this style..but to the point you can view it at http://www.puertotech.com and a image to see what i'm talking about..

http://photohost.motoxtremehosting.c...heavymedal.gif

thanks in advance

I would say remove the modifications you've made to the style or re-install the style, and the images will look like they should. Then try re-adding them one by one until you find out which one is messing things up... ;) There's nothing wrong with the style it's the changes you've added to it...

yep you were right i had disabled the plugin system and saw that the image went to it normal state so i went through one by one trying to figure out which hack was causing that and conclusion was the vbseo hack it was something in the attachments i disabled it and it work well...thanks now i'm happy:banana:

Glad to help. :)

thanks for making this available for 3.6. i wasnt gonna upgrade just to keep your skin. could you give me some ideas for a header. i tried setting the forum width to match my header width but it didnt look right on my cmps. so im assuming i need to tile like your default header. is it possible to center my main image and tile on both sides of the image but keep some kinda uniformity w/ the borders of the forum body? or is there a code that i could use to stretch 1 header pic to adjust w/ body as needed?

good morning all together,
may i start with how much i like this style? i love it sooooooooooooo much and a bit more and want to thank the creator from within my opticaly pleased eye! this may sound ironic but its ment in its pure form of joy and happiness.

since our forum is a german board i did a transdlation of all buttons of the heavy_metal style into GERMAN. if there are german users around here that like to save some time doing this tataaaa just download the zip and you got the buttons translated and some more from a few popular hacks.

and now a question to mr. ROMS the creator of the heavy_metal style:

is it ok if i post a german-translated style to the
http://vbhacks-germany.com/-forum?

i can imagine that this could save some valuable time that could be spend with more pleasant things like watching flocks of birds or playing new super mario land.

please let me know if you allow this translation.
and again: this is an awsome style that became the most popular style in record time on our board!

cheers
hilfe-forum.eu

No, I perfer you don't. You can direct them to this thread if you want.

Thanks. :)

THX for replay...

i think its better i delete my german Buttons here.
Here a no german Users all german Users a on http://vbhacks-germany.com (sister board of vbulletin,org.) i understand that you dont like that german Users use your Style..

Ok no Problen its your Style

It has nothing to do with Germans using my style (my father happens to be German!), I would appreciate you not implying things, or adding things I did not say again. It does have to do with the fact that if anyone is going to post my styles anywhere it will be me. Like I said before you are welcome to leave the buttons here in this thread and direct them to this thread.

Thanks

we just asked because its not welcome on the vbhacks-germany.com to post links to other forums to download hacks. they are pretty tight with that rule so we hoped to be able to give them those translated buttons somehow on their forum. ...since most german board-masters browse that board and not this english spoken one. vbhacks-germany.com is the official sister-board of vbulletin.org

i understand that you like to keep control over your style. we didnt plan to add something to the style..we just wanted to poast the translated buttons alone without your style. we would have linked to your style on this board...like it is usual with all translated hacks.

in the end its your style and you can deside alone what you plan to do with it. for the 200.000 estimated german language-boards we dont think its hard to find another style that can be translated.

If you post the translated buttons only, and not the style then I'm fine with you adding it at vbhacks-germany.com. If that works, I can live with that.. ;)

This theme rocks! *Installed* One of the best "dark" themes I've seen - great work, thank you.
