vBulletin 2.3.x style for vBulletin 3.6.x
 

For everyone who has times when they want to go totally retro, or just for a complete blast from the past.

This is something that I created simply because I was totally bored looking at vB3.x styles and wanted something completely different.

Literally, it is the total vBulletin 2.3.x style for vBulletin 3.6.0 (and should work with other versions in the 3.6.x series). It is the complete vBulletin 2.3.x style, written especially for vB 3.6.x which contains all the 3.6.x features, but in the classic style.

Important notes:
There is no differentiation between postbit and postbit_legacy, simply because there was only one style of postbit back then. Also, apart from the dropdowns in places like the members list, the only dropdowns in the whole style are in the usercp naviagtion, and the search and quicklinks in the navbar. Admin Tools are located in their previous location at the bottom right of the page, along with things like thread rating, search this thread, and forum jump.

Any modifications that you have made to your other styles for modifications installed, will need to be reapplied for this style. If you have any problems adding something (especially if it needs to go in places like forumhome, forumdisplay, showthread, memberinfo, newthread, or newreply) then please post which modification you require the edits for along with your copy of the style XML file and I will be happy to do them for you.

A significant number of templates have been completely rewritten for this style, so if you do encounter any problems, just ask.


Live Demo - Guest posting is enabled in the welcome room. You are also welcome to register to try out things like the usercp and other member only functions. You will notice the version number in my footer has been changed, but the site, despite what it says, is running the latest build of vBulletin.

Installation instructions are located in the zip file.

Attached are a selection of screenshots taken from this style.

It's beautiful.. *wipes tear*

I have no use for this right now, but congrats on so accurately getting that vB 2.3.x look.. ;)

Thanks Andy :D

It really does bring back a lot of memories doesn't it?

YES! YES! Can you tell that I am thrilled? :cool:

Chris

Glad you like it :D

Don't forget the install button now :p

Mmm... tricky - no style chooser ..

user cp > options.

That's the only place it is located in the original version, hence the only place that it is located in this one.

Apart from a couple of changes that had to be made to accommedate the sheer volumne of additional stuff since vB2, everything is exactly as you would find it if you installed vB2.3.10 on your site.

Or you can revert the footer as well.

But then it wouldn't be considered retro. :p

I think I'll install this one for myself, heh.
