To change the greetings that appear in the navbar, have a look in your php_include_start template.

To have the Forum images show up for selected forums, go into your forumhome_forumbit_level*_post templates (both level1 and level2) and look for the condtitional that reads:

Change these ids to the ones you want to use.

Further on in the same template is this conditional:

The array contains those Usergroup ids that we do NOT want to see the Start New Thread button.

Enjoy!

thank you :)

Oops, sorry. There you are (main .zip updated).

so nice thank you

kall i have a question

on you New Zealand blue skin how are you able to get the main site section showing up on your forum page?

I am really interested do something similar to that on my website i am willing to pay for the help

Do you mean the graphical style - New Zealand Blue?

*edit* Sorry, of course you did.

Well, its basically 'Add a left column to your forums' as can be found on vb.org and vb.com in places...with a few images.

Specifically, its several hours of work and swearing at the PC. :)

689 line not well-formed (invalid token)

What?

Give better examples please. Where are you gettign the error? What were you doing?

(I have just checked BOTH xmls. Both work. You are doing something wrong. Maybe importing the plugin as a style or a product or something.)

thanks kall i will try to get it to work :)
