Help with Color Style
 
Hello All,

I am very new to VB and I have what I hope is a basic question. I've read through many threads (could be hundreds by now) and everyone here is extremely knowledgeable. However, I could not find a specific answer to my question.

I have my edit site on>Edit Page>Color Style. What I am wanting to do is just change the background color to solid black so that the actual forum sits on top of it. How do I change the actual background to black? Will I lose my logos when changing it? I am running the forum as a two sided forum for two different brands. When I change the background, will it change the background for all of my pages so they are all exactly alike?

The link to my forum is http://cnhitechnicianforum.net/upload/

Is that possible? I haven't saved any of the changes that I have attempted because I have inherited this forum here at work and I am afraid of rewriting my original template.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Amanda

I am running version 5.1.7 if that helps.

You have bigger problems than cosmetics because you are running a very old version and there are known security vulnerabilities that no security patches are available on old versions. I recommend you to upgrade to the latest version 5.2.3 asap!

And why is the forum installed in upload directory? I think you uploaded the "upload" folder from the package instead of just uploading the content inside the upload folder.

Yikes!! That is not good! Thank you very much for your reply and for noticing that! I have recently inherited this forum from a co-worker that has moved on.

You are right, I will need to fix this ASAP! Like I said, I am brand new so thank you so much for your assistance. When I am in my AdminCP and I click on "Latest version availabke: 5.2.3" and below that there is the "Click here to download vBulletin 5.2.3 from the Members' area" and when I click on that it brings me to the Members Area.

Then in the upper right hand corner there is the latest version 5.2.3 with a link. I click the link and it brings me to a forum. Please tell me how to upgrade it? I apologize I am so new and have been reading on this for days. I will get caught up eventually! :)

In the Members Area look for the "Download vBulletin 5 Connect' link.

Thank you. I have located and downloaded vBulletin 5 Connect. I then found these installation instructions:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...ll-vbulletin-5

I was able to talk with the person within our company who created this forum and he said he started it with version 5.X. I am thinking it is safe to assume that I do not need to worry about overwriting 4.X files and having the installation fail.

However, I have the vb5 folder unzipped and saved to my desktop and now I have no idea what to do with it. I opened the zip folder and copied the 'upload' folder and put the 'upload' folder in it's own folder like step 4 on the above steps say to do. After that...I am clueless.

The zipped folder contents that I got from the download are:

do_not_upload
upload
index.html
license_agreement.html
vb5readme.html
vb5liesmich.html
QuickStartGuide_German.pdf
QuickStartGuide.pdf

The "upload" folder has been copied and placed in it's own folder as well. That is as far as I can make it. I do not know what files I am supposed to rename. I do not know how to go to the install directory of core in my browser.

If there is any more help that you may offer I am very grateful to hear your advice for what I do next. Or, if there is another avenue that I may take in order to get this resolved?

Thank you,

Amanda

upload everything in the upload folder to your webhost, overwriting all of the existing files. Once they are all uploaded go to http://cnhitechnicianforum.net/uploa...ll/upgrade.php to run the upgrade wizard

AmandaM 09-09-2016 04:27 PM

Excellent! I will do that! Or shall I say "try that?" :) It certainly gets me further along than where I am now.

Thank you!

Amanda
