Yes, I have noticed that error as well. It doesn`t cause any issues, other than the error briefly showing up. It is to do with the VB4: Supercharged Mod. When I disable the Mod or even just disabling the CSS Compression, the error goes away. But, for some reason, all of the borders disappears in the Arcade and makes it look like a mess. There were a few other issues as well, which I can`t seem to recall. So, I just left it enabled with the CSS Compression. I`ll have to look into it a bit more to see if I can figure it out.

If you look at this page and the next 2 after, then you will see many people with the exact same problem:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...229608&page=20

It is a known bug that is supposed to be fixed with the next release. It only appears when logging into an Account and then it redirects.

I agree with your suggestions for Google Adsense. I was planning on doing that, but haven't got around to it. Before I made Twilight the default style, I was using Blue Haze as my default style. It had a white background.

Is it possible to have a different color Google Adsense ad for each Style? So, if someone chooses Live Life as their default Style, it will display Google Ads that are color coordinated to that theme and if Twilight is used, then the Google Ads will match that theme?

Update: I just tried disabling the CSS Compression in that VB4: Supercharged Mod once again. The error goes away. But the Arcade looks horrendous! All backgrounds and borders disappear. It looks like a mess. The error is way less annoying. It would be nice if the Mod designer would release an Update to fix the problem. Or it would be nice to figure out what disabling the Mod or the CSS compression within the mod has to do with messing up the Arcade.

I will register on your Forum a little later today. :)

Yeah, you can have different google ad codes for each style I believe. I think instead of using the ad manager you can edit the ad template per theme and just slot in the google ad accordingly to each thread.

Not using the supercharged mod, as I don't really believe in mods that can speed up forums since I trust VB4. (Probably wrong but who knows)

Anyways, I wouldn't use that mod until the author fixes the problem. Your forum doesn't need it anyways since it's brand new and not calling as many database queries as a larger forum would. Looks like a powerful mod though with all the fix logs. Grats to the author.

Lately, I was planning on releasing a theme, but I've been custom working my CMS all day to get it too look different than the average cms: http://buypoe.com (its a gamer site)

One problem I'm having with ads is every time I add an ad to the top right, below my toplinks, it pushes my header down and opens a huge gap of space.

I figured it out. :)

After installing that Mod, I had to change the Store CSS Stylesheets as Files? to Yes.

I disabled the CSS compression within the Mod once again. The error should now be gone.

But I had to set it back to No. Styles & Language Settings ==>Store CSS Stylesheets as Files? = No.

You are right. Since my Forum is new, I probably do not need it.

I can not seem to figure out which template to edit in order to change the Google Ad color scheme. But I have only been looking for 10 minutes.

There are some more of your Styles that I like which I will install later on. :up:

Hello, Is it possible to make the background image fixed, only the forum parade up and down, but not the image.

Info: theme seen on the Vista offers.

Thank you
(I use a translator, I'm french)

Version 4.0.2 Released: Fixed Version. Image stays the same, forums move up and down. 2/14/2010

See demo.

Sorry but in the demo, the picture moves with the scroll of the forum, then below the picture, finding that it's black.

If the picture was fixed, and only defile the forum, we will not see everything in black below the picture.

I just tested on Internet Explorer 8, the picture is perfect.

In Firefox, the picture is fixed with the forum.

Is there the possibility to fix this bug ?

Runs perfectly on I.E and on FireFox v.3.6 (on my screen)

Try restarting firefox. Updating your firefox. Perhaps you have a mod firefox installation affecting it.

Also do a hard refresh on my demo. Crtrl+F5 should do it. Also please mark as installed for support. :)

Sorry,

I am using Firefox 3.6, I have a scrolling problem ...

I'm testing the demo by a member of my forum, even with firefox 3.5.8 they have also this problem.

In Internet Explorer 8 there is no problem.

I do not understand, now it works well ... The demo has been changed?

The main thing is that it works, I await the return of members of my forum to develop this theme.

Je mettrai en place ce theme car je le trouve joli.

Je passerai pour donner un avis après l'installation.

A très bientot, bon boulot

I put up this theme because I find it pretty.

I pass to give an opinion after installation.

See you soon, good job

Great work Dave!

I installed the Update and it works great with IE 8 and Firefox 3.6.

One small issue that I just noticed with IE. The borders are missing from my widgets. They appear with Firefox. Never noticed that before because I mostly use Firefox. I have installed 5 of your Styles now and the widget borders shows up with the other 4 in IE. But there are many IE issues that are supposed to be fixed with 4.0.2. I'm sure that it has to do with 4.0.1 rather than your Style. Not a big deal at all.

Here is a suggestion. Since you made the Image fixed, you changed the Download file name to reflect that. Many people that see the name will think that the Style is fixed and not the Fluid version. People will not realize that the name is referring to a Fixed Image. Even though your Demo site shows the Fluid version. You know how people are. You can clearly show it in your Demo as well as in the description and you will still be asked questions that are already answered in the description :). You should leave the name at Twilight.zip. Most new downloads will be people trying it for the first time and won't have a clue that the image was not fixed in the previous versions.

Now I am Off to update a couple of your other Styles.

I did not register at your Forum yesterday like I said I would. I'll do that today. I promise! Even if I tell my Wife that we can not go out for Valentines Day Supper later because I have to register at Daves Forum. She'll go for that. :D

Thanks, I've taken your advice on the titles of the fixed image as you can see. There seems to

be some slight differences between display on I.E and Firefox (not just with this theme) but

with all themes. Vbulletin developers are having trouble making their software compatible

with all browsers, (seems like a daunting task). Once again, thanks for the compliments.

Sure beats making a premium theme for the money, than just a few words of kindness to

keep making free themes. :) (no sarcasum intended)

Have fun with the V-Day Supper. Let her know that forums come first, then wifey.

This style is really cool, look at what i did with it. http://www.myappcave.com/?styleid=40

Hot background. Looks great with the styling. And the words are very easy to read. Also note, since your not using DigitalBlasphemy's background, you can remove their footer link at the bottom.

good idea.. Thanks!

Thank You for styles fixed...

Mon forum est nickel (My Forum is Good)

Yes, a few kind words are much better than the criticism that some people here like to dish out. Eventually, I do plan on donating to you and some other Developers whose Styles and Mods I use. A little short on cash at the moment. Actually, I have been short on cash ever since I bought my House 2 and a half years ago. Wanted a nice house on an Acreage. The Mortgage payments eats a large chunk of my Salary from my Full Time job. The sad part is, I used to do Internet Marketing Full Time. Mainly Affiliate marketing promoting Clickbank products. But all of my Eggs were in the Google Adwords basket. It all went away in a hurry when my advertising costs quadrupled! Now I am trying to generate income with Google Adsense and getting Traffic the old fashioned way. Free from getting ranked in the Search Engines.

I am quite surprised that some people whine about having a link to your site with the Styles. People seem to expect that developers like yourself will develop Free Styles and Mods for Free with no strings attached. There are many Internet Marketers that have made a fortune by giving away Free stuff! But they would not have made anything at all if the stuff they gave away was completely Free with no strings attached.

Now, I know how important one way links are for SEO purposes. I am willing to bet that people that use your Style for Free with a link back to your site are just as important as the ones that donate $10 to get the rights to have that link removed. :)

A few font color issues that I noticed.

I registered at your Forum-Skins website using this Twilight Style. The descriptions next to the field boxes do not show up that great. The font color should be white or a different color.

In the profile section, the left sidebar text can hardly be seen. The font color should be changed to something else.

I have been looking and can not see where to change the font colors for those. What StyleVars needs to be edited?

Thanks! :)

Thanks MikeLac for the thought and time put into your posts. I'll take a look into the twilight version and see what your doing.

I'm usually pretty busy Tuesday thorugh Thursdays and very free Friday-Mondays, for the most part.

Since its a theme issue, I'll fix it without you guys changing the stylevars. If you want to get it done pretty quick, you can take a l

look at http://stylevars.com and that should help you find what your looking for fairly fast. I haven't finished completing it

yet though, it takes alot of time.

Hallo!

Congratulations for this great skin!

How would you find the idea of importing an AdRotator so when you refresh the page the background changes randomly?

I think it would be great!

What do you think?

I think something like this would slow your website down tremendously. But it's definately possible. Perhaps your looking for a different background per forum section.

I don't think that will slow down the forum because when all images loaded the first time then they will be cached by the browser, so it's not so bad.

What do you think?

Can you please also release a version with background rotator?

And one more question.
Is there any way that i can change the opacity of the thansparency?

A background rotater sounds good in theory, but I wouldn't want it. All of the colors match the background. I have customized all of my Google Adsense ads to match the background. I've customized some other things such as the Hyperlink color so that it goes good with the background. Everything looks great with the current background. Change the background to something else, and everything could look like crap..

The only way that this will work is if you select backgrounds with the same color scheme and make sure that the background looks good with the font colors, etc.

I have tried some different backgrounds out of curiosity to see what it would look like. The backgrounds ended up looking great but the site did not because the font colors, widgets, etc. did not match the background. A bunch of edits would be needed in order to make it look good.

And Dave is right. It will slow the site down tremendously. Sure, it does cache cache the page the first time that it is loaded. But what good will that do when the background changes again? It will have to cache another page. Then another. Then another. Etc. It would all depend on how many backgrounds that it will rotate.

Hi there.. I really love these skins (Pixel and Twighlight)!!
I am just having a bit of trouble with the background/border..
Would you be able to tell me where I went wrong please??

Thanks!! :)

p.s. have posted this in both threads.. please ignore the one you didn't reply to first! ;)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/02/38.jpg

I have a suggestion.. I have created child styles with different backgrounds, i would like to have a quick chooser for different backgrounds instead of having to add extra childs. Something user customizable. Makes it a lot easier for adding modifications with template edits. A quick chooser next to the style and language choosers.

Otherwise, this is my favorite style!:D

reupload all the files to the proper place. And go to maintinance/ update counters/ rebuild styles.

3 times over :confused: I must be doing something wrong!
It seems like the background is white and not transparent.
Just can't find that setting.. Other that that, seems to be ok.

*help*

But when you load an image and then another, the first image is still cached no matter if you have loaded another one.

For example, when you load the first page then it is cached.
When you load another page and then go back to the home page then it is still cached(if the web site uses cache).

Isn't happening the same thing with the images?

And can you please tell me how can i change the transparency?

I realize that.

But what I am getting at is: If it has to go through 20 different backgrounds before they are all cached, then the user will realize that this Style is way to slow and switch to something else before all the backgrounds have a chance to be cached. Because it would have to go through 20 different backgrounds before a background is actually used twice. If it rotates between 3 backgrounds, then it won't take long for them to be cached. It all depends on how many backgrounds that it rotates.

Actually i was thinking to rotate max 3-4 backgrounds.

So,can you please release a second (different) version with the background rotator?
Is it possible?

About the transparency,can you please tell me how can i change it?

Yeah background rotators is definitely possible. It would require some custom coding that I'm unfamiliar with, I'll need to do some research this weekend on it.

Version for 4.0.2 compatible is coming either today or tomorrow.

And truble, if you give me ftp access I should be able to see whats wrong. Your placing the image folder for this theme in the wrong location, thats all.

3-4 backgrounds wouldn't be too bad. But it would still be slower loading the first 3 or 4 times until all of the backgrounds are cached. I can see that potentially costing new registrations. You know what is going on and why it is going to be slower until the backgrounds are cached. However, your visitors will not know that. They will just think that your site is slow and leave without registering before all 4 backgrounds are cached. IMHO. :)

Yeah, I think multiple backgrounds is probably a bad idea, I'd like to experiment with the idea if I get the time. It just seems like a loading nightmare, potentially bad for SEO, as loading times can drive new registrants away...specially as newer forums get accustomed to larger population demands on the server.

It's not the same as vBseo, i have the original style and even when i looked at the 2 there are varying differences between them and unless he had access to the admincp to clone your style then in actual fact he did make this style himself.

No matter how much it looks the same he did it himself, thats like me copying vb.org yet if i coloured it etc myself then its my own work after all there are many sites like mine on the web too.

This thread is a support thread, not a thread for certain members to rant about other styles or other issues. Future off topic posts are liable to be removed and members warned about their behaviour.

1st of all, Great style!
I have though a small problem... the layout of the CMS is not correct... main info showing on right of page, and left pane is gone. Any ideas? I all shifted left...

Yes, I've attached a grid, you can upload it by going to Vbulletin CMS in the admincp panel. From there, download/uploadgrids > and install my grid. Don't forget to apply grid as well.

For some reason it happens to people. Thats a quick fix.

First of all, nice skin...good job

I have a couple of problems though. If you look at the attached, the first picture, is my main forum view, which is fine, however, when i go into a forum, i get this black box around teh replies and views bit, which i can not get rid of. I have gone throughthe stylevar twice, but to no avail. any help on making it transparant would be great.

Secondly, i noticed a few of the forum icons, like thread_dot_new-30.png and a few others are not included in the theme.
