Thanks mikey... got everything working now with the images, but for some odd reason i lost my "community" & "quick" links in the navbar. any idea?

FYC

fixed it... imported the wrong xml.

You might've reverted the header template somehow.

Try reimporting the skin and doing your image path edits first before messing with the header.

EDIT: Okay then

hi mikey, seems like i got problems again =\ (all of a sudden, when i logged out it changed to vbulletin's default design, thus i uploaded one of the new xml files but the entire thing kinda got screwed up *rolleyes*

would you mind helping me? i'll drop u a pm..

Done, you just needed to go to the vBOptions -> Style and Language Settings -> Default Style -> Set to SimpleBlue

Dumb question, nevermind! Mahalo! Great looking style!

Thanks for the Install :)

I hadn't installed it on my own forums, but I did install it for a friend's board. I'm waiting to hear back from him on whether he likes it or not. :)

I do know that several hawaii forums love this style though. ;)

That is good to know, do you happen to have any links? I love to see it in action

Hi Mikey.
I don't use this style but very very nice. I like it ;) I click Installed ! :)

Would love to install one of these but I'm getting a ZIP file corrupted message every time I download... :(

Sorry about that Trevster, I've downloaded it on XP, Vista and the Mac and all work fine, I'm really wondering here. Are you using WinRAR, Maybe I should invest in winzip, and use that to create my zips..

Anyway, There was an alternate download location listed, earlier in the thread, or you could go to this link:

http://mikeydesigns.co.uk/simpleblue.php

If you do download from there, please remember to click installed, thanks.

Sorry, missed that link mikey.

Downloaded fine from your site this morning (still got error when downloading from here) so thanks for that.

Yeah, using WinRAR on XP Pro SP3 here. Tried the download with IE7 and FF3 but same message on both.

Thanks for prompt assist! :up:

No problems, Trevster, I'm here to help matey. Glad you like the style, thanks for using it ;)

I want to make a request. Would it be possible to get a version of PRO with a left or right sidebar?

a sidebar? It.. could be done.. but.. It would take time and I would have to learn..

It would make a great theme into an even better one.

Would this work with your theme http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156775

I shall attempt this, for you.

inserting any sort of sidebar is breaking the style completely.

Thank you

Ok thanks for you effort. I really appriciate it.

I'd like to increase the vertical distance between the bottom of every post and the start of the member's forum signature. How could I do that?

In the postbit or postbit_legacy of the style (depending on which you're using)

find;

and replace it with

I can not seem to get the controls to show up when posting a new thread and when posting a reply to a thread, any suggestions on how to get them to show up?

Thanks Mikey, an extra <br /> in the PostBit Legacy worked perfectly.

Also, whereabouts in the templates can I find the anchor text for the "Home" link in the Nav Bar. I want to change it to something a little more search engine friendly.

I've found code like "$vboptions[forumhome]" in the NavBar template, but can't find the anchor text.

Thanks again!

I cannot understand what you mean, do you have a screenshot?

It's in the header template, to make it in the position it's in.

You'll need to find

and replace the "Home" with your SEO friendly words. All the navbar options are there too :up:

ALSO, I HAVE NOTICED PEOPLE REMOVING MY COPYRIGHT, THIS IS ILLEGAL AND THERE IS ONLY ONE FORUM AUTHORISED TO DO SO, AS THEY HAVE DONATED. IF YOU HAVE REMOVED MY COPYRIGHT, PM ME AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT CODE TO PUT BACK IN OR COME TO AN ARRANGEMENT.

As you can see from the image there is no controls at the top or the right of the box. Everything is turned on in AdminCP. Forgot to mention I have the pro version of your template installed.

This is not an error, it's default! As you can see, Even in the default vB Style, there are no dropdowns up in the top right corner where it says the Thread: "Threadtitle" :up:

The dropdowns on forumdisplay (IE: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=1) work! ;)

Thanks for your kind words. Glad you liked it. My support for this template will last as long as I can do it, its upgrrading to vB4 will depend on what the new templating system is like.

I am not talking about drop downs or anything like that. There is no editing options across the top like there is in your demo, or the smilies showing up.

The bold, italic, underline, center , adding a link and all that stuff across the top of the box and the smilies... that is what I am referring to.

The error does not show on my forum.

Heres how you'd fix, (the template shouldn't be editted in my style)..

Go to; Style Manager > SimpleBlue Pro > Edit Templates (dropdown) > editor and REVERT that template.

OK.. I have figured out it is a problem with my install, not with your style. It is not showing up on any style I have installed.

Glad to hear it, did you try what I suggested up there?

I figured out what it was... i feel like such an idiot about it too.

It seems there is a setting in the user control panel.... Edit Options.. then Miscellaneous Options... there is a setting in there.... it was turned off there. I had been pulling my hair out all day about this and it was a simple little setting in the UCP. :eek::eek::eek:

Hah, No worries, happens to the best of us :) :)

Thanks, found it.

No templates have mandatory changes since vB 3.8.2.

If you are using 3.8.3, for now, click "Ignore Style Version".

I shall do these non mandatory changes (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...97&postcount=2) at the weekend and add a 3.8.3 XML.

Cheers guys.

"SimpleBlue Pro WITH SIDEBAR" : http://demo.parlancia.com/SimpleBlue...barMikeyDe.png
*4 Sidebar blocks with potential to add heaps more and A dynamic news fader block! (See second post on how to edit), Spacing between Categories and posts, big bugfix and code cleanup.*

Has been completed and added.

See first post on how to edit the current sidebar blocks.

All other skins upgraded to 3.8.3 also.

I didn't think this design was well done. Tables didn't line up, and the 'w/sidebar' just threw lots of code on the homepage. Uninstalled!

g00gl3r, There must be some conflicting mod then, as this works fine on my live site and on my test site. two installs of vBulletin (one clean and one modded) cannot lie.

You're welcome to leave constructive criticism but please just don't shit talk on my work.
