Opserty was not being sarcastic. When a style doesn't work, then the best thing to do is to contact the author. If you are not using a style that was made for your version of vbulletin, then the best thing to do is contact the author and see if he has upgraded the style to work with your version.

Click on a template that is in red (that means it was modified from the default). Then click on View History. There you can compare your version of the template to the default vbulletin one.

Please help those are the only templates for the skin that are edited

[Lynne]

Did you try what I suggested? Go into your footer template and hit View History in the upper left and then compare your template to the default. I can't help because I have no site running 3.6.10 to be able to compare your templates to.

Also, you really should use the code tags. Not using them makes looking at code very difficult. Also, make sure when you are looking at modified templates that you expand your style so you can see them all - hit the <<>> button on the right of the style to have them all listed.

Another thing.... your drop-downs work when you are viewing threads (in showthread.php), but not when you are viewing forums (forumdisplay.php). So, that may help you find the problem.

[rob305]

Well i have no idea what to do Lynne....

Could you give me instructions?

[Lynne]

I don't know that I can describe it any better. Select the template and hit View History. Then you have the option to select your current version of the template and another template (default is the jelsoft one) and hit Compare. It then shows you the differences. You may then copy/paste what you need into your template. I don't know how else to describe it. You just need to try it and see how it works. (It's a good thing to learn this sort of thing since it comes in handy anytime you need to do upgrades.)
