Good one, Infantrymen!

Looks nice in vbportal :)

You have a small bug will affect some servers maybe not all, the footer graphics two instances has a double //. No biggie ;)

Thanks for the heads up. :)

Fixed the footer, updated to 3.5.4

Zip updated. :)

none of the images work because my forum isn't

forum/images

it's

vb/images

how do I make it work?

nevermind found it

That's funny you use something I created, then ask for my help on something I designed and can't even give me credit for designing it... Lame "Designed by JDM Dreams". :ermm: It's still 99.9% my graphics, buttons, CSS, template changes ect. That is the terms of use to keep the Copyright/Designed by notice at the bottom.

I've updated the zip. the forward.gif image was mis-named. I've Attached it here for a quick fix if anyone needs to upload it. :)

Nice. Looks techy enough for a computer site that I am doing. Thanks!

^ Hope it works out for you, If you need any help let me know. :)

I am such a style n00b, the images won't load even though I have specified the right paths. It's on a testing site but I can't let anyone in there till I'm done. Here's a screenie

^ Looks like most of them are loading, try fixing the paths in the header and footer. Perhaps do a search in the style for "heavy_metal" and you may find some paths that you've missed. If you've renamed the folder you might need to find "heavy_metal" everywhere in the style and change it to the new name....

The way my forum is set up, it's in a subdomain that really isn't working right. So I had to set the domain to http://www.mysite.com/forums/etc instead of forums.mysite2.com because the subdomain wasn't working. But it works now. Thanks for the pointer!

Glad you got it to work. :)

What are the advantages of setting it up as either a child or parent style? Is one preferred over another when using "hacks"?

Thanks alot, great style.

I've tried to keep this style fairly free of being having the templates modified so it would go well as a child or a parent. The main changes are: the header (logo change), footer (logo), and forum home (status icons legend). On my site I have it as a child.

My suggestion would be to install it as a stand alone style, Then take a look at the templates I've changed and copy them to a notepad (or text file). Go into the settings of this style and make it child style of your default style (unless you want this to be the main) and revert all templates for this style. Then re-add the templates you've copied to the notepad (or text file) and you're done.... That way you only have 3 or 4 modified templates from your default style...

I hope that answers your question, and glad you like the style.... :)

Thanks for such a great skins,,Very nice!!!

Is it posible for someone to make me a custom header for this with title saying Curved Metal.

I don't have any editing tools and would really like to use this for my site


Thanks for any help!!

Minus the tanks of course,lol,,thanks again

What color and if you click Install.. ;)

I Clicked install for ya!! and thanks.


The red like it is, is great!!!!

I like the red on the dark color ,just would like it to say "CURVED METAL"
instead on heavy metal


my slogan is " Where Fun and Expertise come together".I am not sure if there is anywhere that can be used,but thought i would throw it in in case ya saw something that may look good with a filler.

You have made my week Bud,,thanks a million!!!

didn't know if you seen my last post or not so i am bumping it.tahnks again for a great skin and i have it installed here

Sure, I'll get it to you in a few days. :)

thanks,,didn't mean for it to seem i was rushing you

You're fine, no worries. :)

Hey ,Was just checking in to see if you are making any headway :)
thanks

Here you go. :) There is a right side without a tank you can use already in the zip you downloaded...

tHIS ABSOLUTELY ROCKS!!!!!!

Thanks Bud

Ok,,I have it installed but have a slight problem.The logo's you made are there but blank with a lil red x in the upper left corner and almost all of the buttons on the page are the same way,,the lil red x instead of the proper button,this happens using IE.It also seem to not be showing ANY of the gradients either.
I tried it with mozilla and most all buttons show up but the logo at the top nor the bottom splash does not show at all ,not even the lil x. and the gradients don't seem to show there either

can you tell me how i can fix this in dummie terms LOL cause i am a dummie when it comes to fixing these code problems

LoL, make sure everything is uploaded in the right folder

Right click on the red X and look at the properties for the images... place the ones I made in that folder on your server, and change the names to the new graphics in the header and footer... ;)

If you need me to look at it: Do you have a link to your board? You can PM me if you want. :)

Ok,,got it working ,,had to change the image paths but all is well and looks great ,,thanks again for your great workk!!!

Nice work!

Is the font used shareware anywhere? I can't seem to find it on the font sits I frequent.

Glad you like it, I'll post the Font for it here later tonight and include it in the Zip. Please make sure to click INSTALL if you use it. I appreciate it. :)

That would be awesome! Much appreciated too. :banana:

I have the style installed but I need to do a little tweaking to the graphics before I let my users use it but otherwise I'm ready to rock and roll.

Thanks again for the cool style!

I updated the Zip and added the font type. :)

Fabulous! Thank you!
