Nice thank you

im using the latest 3.6

skin has some problems, attaching pictures of problem, i hope you fix it ;)

i am using 3.6.8

Yeah, from the screens that bonjurkes posted, ss2.jpg is the issue that I'm having of "dropdown without formatting". I saw it first on 3.6.7, but it's continued over to 3.6.8.

Any help?

Hey Mark, this is one of the coolest skin i have ever seen for vB. Great work. Just wanna ask you one thing. All th ads and forum info that is there in this skin is on Left side, what if i want to make all this on right side... Please help me out with template modifications.

I installed it then decided to go with your RedBar Style instead.

very nice man!!!! a step up in design!!!

Hello folks, sorry for such a period of time before replying to these questions regarding an upgrade. At the moment, I'm busy with my newborn son and haven't been able to get online long enough to do any upgrades, or take custom request. As soon as I get time, I will upgrade this. I haven't even upgraded my own forum to 3.6.8 :(

Thanks for the understanding, and please don't get too upset at my delay. Those that know me know my family always comes first.

Ps: if any of the other designers can offer some helpful advice for these folks during my absense, it would be appreciated.

Congrats on the new kid!

I am running .8 and getting "Invalid File Specified" when uploading the .xml file.

Thanks for this great style and good luck with the kid :)


EDIT:
Disregard.... After playin with vBulletin this many years you'd think I've learned that you install styles in the dang style manager instead of the plugin manager LOL

Sorry...nothing to see here....move along....

Hey Mark,

I'm really digging this style man. It's perfect for my site. Especially with the way you stuck with conventional schema.

But I do see a place that seems to be out of the ordinary.

In the image below you can see where it looks the header titles are displaying the subtitles incorrectly. If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't the subtitles be to the right of the title like they are in thread display?

Like in the first board it says "Moderators Lounge" then under that it says "_For moderator only"

In thread display it shows "Sub-Forums : Moderators Lounge"

I was thinking the main forum display should show something like:

"Moderators Lounge: For moderator only"

Otherwise the style is working great for me at criticalreactor.com

Thanks!

when gonna be come out for 3.6.8 :)

I fixed my issue with forum description arrangement. I think it looks much better this way.

I added a colon ( : ) after $forum[title] like this;

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]:</strong></a>

and changed the <div tag to <font class="smallfont2" then made a new class called smallfont2 with a text size of 9.

So it looks like this in the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post also the other similar templates;

<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><font class="smallfont2">$forum[description]</font></if>

The new class looks like this:

.smallfont2 {
font-size:9px;
font-family:verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

The text in postbit was too small as well.

So I created a new class called smallfont3 and made that text size at 13. Then changed the postbit and postbit_legacy tamplates to look like this;

<!-- message -->
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]"><font class="smallfont3"><br>$post[message]</font></div>
<!-- / message -->

This gives me much greater control over the size of the text in just the posts and keeps the rest of the text on the page unchanged.

Again, thanks for a great skin!

Hey, I remember this being blue! I made the modification last year to red, but I gave it up. Good to see more skins from you mark.

Any plans to release a version of this compatable with version 3.6.8 by any chance Mark?

i didn't found the XML File Help Mee please :( :(

I'm using it with 3.6.8 and all is fine.

This style has been updated to 3.6.8. Also, the forum descriptions are now on one line with the forum names, as mentioned in this post so no need to make this modification yourself.

Enjoy.

Yeah! This is a great style!

But why any demo and a such small preview image (uploaded bigger ones)

Is it posible to have this style without the left default menu, and the google ads?

Demo Link Added. If you revert the forumhome template. the left column will disappear. You can just remove the google ad code in the header if you don't want anything to display there.

OK thanks :)

I think you made the right decision :)
If you do post some more styles, be sure to let me know ;)

You know where to find me.

oops... it took me 7 pages to reply. wow, I need to stop by the Org more often...lol

I installed this and I have been banging my head for a couple hours.

The older folks on my forum have trouble reading the small POST text. But nothing I change seems to increase the post text size.

Can someone tell me where and what to edit to actually get the default post text to increase.

<DISREGARD= I found the answer>

Thanks

website is: www.myjeepclub.com

Should have been the smallfont css ;). Glad you got it figured out...

One thing I noticed is that when you do try and change the "Main Table Width (pixels or percentage)" it doesn't actually change a lot of values that are hard coded in. I had to modify a lot of these.

hey i'm having some troubles with this template, i uploaded the files and the xml however my webpage is not changing from the original Default template to the Smoothred one. i am running vbadvanced for the homepage and when i try to run the index.html file that you provided (i deleted the old index.php file) my site is not loading. just would like some help thanks man template looks sick

For one, the index.html file I provide is in a images directory. It is not a replacement for the index.php file. YOU NEED THAT! That was a vbulletin file / vbadvanced file.

If you want to pm me some login info for your forum admin, I can have a look at it for you. I'll also need ftp access to put the files in the correct place. Otherwise, re-read the directions and upload only the files which the directions tell you to :)

Where can i find the FORUMHOME template or section? New to VB, and not sure what i'm looking for, weather it's a html file somewhere, or in the control panel :)

Anyone help me?

GREAT Style by the way?

Dean

amazing style! how can i change the advertisement in the forums in that left hand column? is there any way i can make the advertisement change every time someone loads the page? thanks!

Rousie, the FORUMHOME is a template in the style manager within the admincp.

ADMINCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager ->

In the drop down next to the style, select Edit Templates.

doobiefillin, in the FORUMHOME template. If you wanted to rotate the ads, you would need some kind of ad management like OpenAds, or perhaps a banner / ad rotator here at vb.org. Then, place that code where the existing ads are.

Pleasure to deal with and work with - an ace overall :)
very happy with his work -

Thanks Joseph, Shot you a email about your latest request.

Thanks Mark ..... I am a newbie and have installed smooth red .."TOPS".

I'm using 3.6.8 with lev 2 patch . where the adsense is I have a large empty space and you have to scroll down to find the forums. Removing the adds altogether would be okay. Just not sure where to start and finish in the html.

what has been updated?

Thanks for the skin,

I am using it now. :D

Hi Mark,

Great professional looking skin.

I just have one query, in the demo above, the right hand advertisment column is just wider than it's title bar. I know it's a minor detail, but my eye just gets drawn to it. Can it be fixed?

Cheers

Chris
