ohoh, I found a thread at vbulletin.com that talks about it.

Wondering if theres a similar thread here. (this being vbtemplates and all :))
Tried searching but i couldnt find.. hmmm I lack the power...

ok nev mind the link. Tried it and it didnt suit my forums... hmm

Well, the "3D effect" you're talking about is done with images. If you take a look at the blue header and footer of each post, you'll see that those are images and not just colored backgrounds.

There's several threads here on vBT that talk about how to add images to various parts of your forum. Most are done in Forum Categories and Postbit. Just do a search and I'm sure you'll find them.

However, it all comes back to your graphical skills as to what can be done. :)

acully the effect he is talking about is bevel's, these are done with css. its not done with images ;)

Wow, I had no idea CSS could do that. That's REALLY cool. :)

if you want i could make a mod to tell people how to do it.

Great idea Anime-loo, that would be REALLY nice. :)

ill do it tonight sometime then. mabey tomorrow, have alot of work to finish here.
