***Additional Instructions***

To change the 'Launch date' ticker on Forum Home, look in the FORUMHOME template, near the bottom. There is a start date field. :)

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.

Good Styles thanks mr.Kall

Looks great. Installed! Do you want to update your first post though to reflect RC3 status rather than beta 4?

Style Name: Steel Purple for vB 3.5 BETA4

That is really nice I might use those colors :)

Thanks for the great skin it fits my fourm great.

I am having a few problems though.

1 is logging out. I get an error - An error occurred while attempting to log you out. Click here to log out.

I can can clear the problem if I revert the Navbar Template. But if I reinstall the skin XML the proble comes back.

2. I cannot get the custom greetings to show up on the VBA homepage. I followed your instructions but it does not show up.

thanks BRian

Thats odd... the changes to the navbar shouldn't cause that..

Is this happening for anyone else? Breaume: please try one of the other Steel styles (Green or blue) and tell me if the issue still occurs.

Hey Kall,

I installed the Green and have the same error.

The Navbar template revert idea was from VB.com in the 3.5 troubleshooting error. It did not say much other than revert the Navbar.

If you want to PM me I will give you a link to my site to see the erro for yourself.

thanks

Is there anything different about your forums to the standard vB? Language/Direction of characters..anything like that?

I am sure theres a good explanation somewhere. :)

No the only other mods I have installed are

VBA CMPS and VBA Gallery, also geek articles but it is diabled know.

site is forums.stampingbug.com

thanks for your help. My members really like your skins.
