Paul first of great work so far.
I have been looking an ddo not want to do a mistake beforee I contiue and mess things up.
step 5 states to upload the xml file with the product manager
I am a dummy but tell me
are you talking about vbulletin cp -> Style Manager -> import style xml file -> upload xml file from your computer
now then merge in to my style
and ignore style version or not option
if this is not what I am supposed to do please tell me what you mean by Product Manager otherwise ehh
