Thank you :)

wow very nice, great to see this style for 3.7.x ;)

Thank you, really glad that you like it :)

hi egtrix
Very nice style
thanks you very much

You are always welcome and glad that you like it :)

Hey egtrix,

i'm sorry, but i dont like that style. I waited a long time for a wow style, but i didnt find one.
The basics of your style are really good, but some grafics should be rewritten. I hope you will expand your style to a better one.

Bye

Curious, why the Thundercats logo for the forums, instead of something WoW related?

Thank you Robert for your opinion. As for this skin I made it a while ago and I had no intention to upgrade it but I upgraded it because of the people's requests and the number of downloads for this skin through vBulletin sites and forums. I received a lot of PMs asking for this release through the last year. Also keep in mind that it's a free skin but anyway if I have time to make it better in the future, I will certainly do.

Ulkesh thanks for your reply. I think there is a difference between:

and the Thunder Cats logo:

And it's not intended by anyway to make it even close to the Thunder cats logo.

Amazing work egtrix!

Thank you Forumsbay :)

egtrix, thanks for your reply. Don't misunderstand me; i like the style for the most part, and can definitely appreciate the hard work you put into it. :)

My mistake. It's been approximately 15 years or more since I saw an episode of Thundercats, so a misrecognition of the logo is not unreasonable, and several of the folks I asked agreed that it was close enough to the TC logo as to be recognized as such. :)

However, you didn't answer my question but focused on a tangent of it. As such, I'll rephrase: Why use an image that is not WoW related? Perhaps something that uses images that are actually related to the game, like:

forum_old:

forum_new:
http://www.caprinidomineri.org/forum.../forum_new.gif

forum_lock:

Not trying to be fractious, but attempting to help you improve the style. :)

No worries Ulkesh, I do understand and I know that you are seeking improvements for the skin :)
The idea is that when I did that skin I didn't have much knowledge about WoW and the style of graphics that is being used in it, so I passed by their official website and made the skin according to my first view to their website.

Now things are different as I have been playing WoW for over ayear now and I have a level 70 tankadin there.

And what made me a bit sad today is that the rating of the skin is dropping and I'm receiving negative feedbacks here which I find it very strange because the older version of the skin has more than 3000 downloads web wide on all vbulletin sites and I didn't have the intention to upgrade this skin until i recieved tons of PMs and emails asking for the upgrade. And here we go I did the upgrade using the same graphics and the same everything and then I recieve low skin rating, low installs and high downloads (for less than one day, 21 downloads is fine).

Such things depressed me for a while for the effort done but it's not your fault I do understand now that you want to make it look better :)

As for the icons usage I will try to use more relative icons next time :)

hi, i don't see the logo, psd, or readme.

Hello :)
You will find the readme inside the folder named Documentation and as for the PSD file and the extras folder, they are in separate zip files that can be downloaded here:

nice styles always

thanks ..

Many thanks Barakat, glad that you like it :)

thanks for the updated style i am now going to update my site to the new version

The demo site is down!

please try again now.

ad_header_logo, here i put adsense but not showing up. :(
nice style though.

<a href="http://www.swornoath.com/forums/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.swornoath.com/forums/index.php</a>

Trying to find out why there is another skin border on the left hand side going through the forum.

Just add it at the bottom of the header or at the beginning of the navbar and give it sometime because adsense ads take upto 10 min. to appear for the first time.

I can't see the skin there, I see another skin not mine

Bro, its showing in my other skin. I didnt try by any template changing though. I will get back again with updates.. simply got crush on this style mate. :p

Fantastic job. I really like it.

where i can put adsnese to show it at top right corner? please help me with it.

Thank you mate, glad that you like it :)

I suggest you add it at the very beginning of the navbar template, this will make it show between the header and the navbar

Egtrix, So by trying this.. I can put it at that place? I tried, but still no luck.

sorry I didn't understand that you want to place it in that location. To place it in that location you have to edit the header template and make the image in that area as a background for the table cell and then you can add any content over it. But if I may say, this won't be a good placing or a good ad size.

thanks mate.

You are always welcome :)

nice job egtrix

I like your work, really

can you make a fluid one of this please?

it's awesome :)

Many thanks Super Jinni :) unfortunately this can't be transferred to a fluid version at least at the moment due to the heavy graphics in it

OK, I do not see any psd files. How do I stamp my site logo on this style?

yes, I think so, it will very difficult.. but this skin is really amazing and I think you have done a great job..

I just was a little bit greedy to have a fluid one of this skin..

anyway

all what I want is only to thank you for your sharing all the good stuff

that's really nice...

;)

if you can provide one suit a martial arts forum I'll be grateful

:)

Unfortunately, everybody who uses this style has an exact replica of each other. There does not seem to be any way to separate from the pack. No psd, no fonts used, no instructions for modification, nothing.

Thank you Super Jenni :)
I will try to have it in fluid width but I'm not sure of the results as I think the results won't be good enough :)
As for a martial arts skin, I will try to cover all fields including martial arts :)

PGAmerica, if you read my first post well you will see that there is a PSD file and I believe that if you want your forum to stand out of other forums, try a custom skin as free skins are widely spread. And as the fonts, no special fonts used in the skin, only the ones that can be found on all computers including yours. :)
