Lets get it started :D

Backup your footer template before making any changes. This was tested on vbulletin 3.8.x Default skin & it worked fine.

Go to your Admin CP->>>Your Style>>>Edit Templates>>>footer

Remove the following code first.

Code:

<div align="center">

    <div class="smallfont" align="center">

    <!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->

    $vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]

    <!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->

    </div>



    <div class="smallfont" align="center">

    <!-- Do not remove cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->

    $cronimage

    <!-- Do not remove cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->



    $vboptions[copyrighttext]

    </div>

</div>



</form>

Now, find

Code:

$ad_location[ad_footer_end]

Above that add...

Code:

Example Image:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/08/57.png

After installing it, some of the links cant stay fit, and looks like they are set to be in the middle of everything else.. I its maybe because my theme is custom! I am going to make a few changes later, and hopefully it will work. I will get back and click on the Installed button if it does..

GREAT JOB

now this is awesome! :)

Try reducing the width, hopefully it will fix the problem.

.col4 { float: left; margin-left: 56px; width: 262px; }

there are some huge monitors or small monitor, is there any way to adjust it automatically with the size of the screens?

Thanks for this modification; good job!
