Epic

This style was developed by my firm Epic Designz as a promotional tool for a new site called YourIndex. This style is free to be used on any forum provided that you retain the small promotional message in the footer (We made it as unobtrusive as possible.) The package includes the full set of PSD's, so you can make changes to suit your board or apply the same layout to non-vBulletin portions of your site. If there are any problems with the style, please report them to me in this thread, so I can get them resolved as quickly as possible.

Having some issues displaying in Firefox. Hope you don't mind, but I blocked out some information, but the problem I am having is obvious enough as it is.



But, in IE it kicks ass.

UPDATE: Okay, I figured out what caused all of that. It was because I have a category which acts as a forum. Its all the way on the top, once I disabled it the problem went away. I realized this because the error only occurred when you were logged in. So this may be a bug, so yeah.

I've updated all the links in the stylesheet for this style to be absolute paths.

You need to edit some image paths in the header and footer template (Though they should have been fixed to automatically include your forum URL...)

If you get a chance, could you edit a header and put in www.mysite.com for every image that is supposed to be fully pathed out and I'll compare it to my file.

Thanks for the help

Josh

Any updates on this? I'm still having no luck on this.

Thanks

Josh

My issue is resolved. The cellspacing was set to 0 for the forum home. Thanks for the great style.

I had that issue when I had vbadvanced in a different directory than the forum. Once I moved them to the same dir the problem went away.

Thanks Andrew.
It is really not your style's fault.
It is a problem with vBulletin, handling modifications.
vBulletin is running smooth with the default style,modified styles are slow.

Using "Smooth Blue" on vbulletin.org is much slower than the style "vBulletin 3 White Liquid" used on vbulletin.com.

All of your forums have to be inside a category - This style has a mod that spaces that categories apart, as do a number of other styles. By not putting your forums within a category, you mess up the table structures for the page and end of with that.

[pickles21]

so how would I go about installing this style? Since I've nearly tried to upload the files everywhere in the forums directory. I currently have them within public_html/forums/images/images/epic

[pickles21]

could it be the way I set up my vB?

[Andrew]

The "epic" folder needs to be in the first "images" folder - You uploaded the "images" folder into the existing "images" folder instead of overwriting it (It doesn't actually overwrite it really - It just adds the new images and folders into it.)

[pickles21]

OK when I drag and drop the "images" folder into the /forums/images directory it puts it into it's own directory such as /forums/images/images and that's what I've had already done. That's why i'm confused...it doesn't say anything about overwriting or anything when I upload the images folder. It just makes it's own seperate directory within the images folder of the forums directory. Is this what it's suppose to do?
