Pro Blue Style w/ tabbed Navigation & Sidebar

This style no longer available. New styles to be released for 3.7 when available.

hey mark, amazing template, i like almost all of yours. I was wondering how I would make the tabbed navigation display one of the tabs as a dropdown.

For example say I wanted one called "Features" that gives 3 options when mousedover or clicked(whichever you can do easiest) and those 3 link to the Arcade, vBookie, and Casino.
P.S. just using that as an example.

Thanks in advance.

thanks for the reply mark

I have installed vbblog but somehow its not shown on the nav bar(e.g. register calender) when i use this theme? When i revert back to the default theme it displays the link.

Thanks

This is a simple, but great style. I was happy to find it.

The installation went smoothly, but I noticed some problems using Firefox. When I use Firefox, there is a space between the tab buttons and the two lines below the tab buttons that run horizontally across the screen. Likewise, in the footer, there is a wider gap in Firefox between the copy right information/adsense ad and the line running horizontally right above. Does anyone know how to correct this? The style works fine with IE, but not Firefox.

Also, this probably is very simple, but I am new to VBulletin, making websites, etc. How/Where do I remove the AdSense Ads? Clearly I have to do this through the Admin Cpanel, but where should I go and what do I need to do. I eventually plan to use Adsense too, but for now, I wanted to either delete them or replace them with banners.

UPDATE: My VB was set to inactive, but when I change the status to active, everything seemed to fall in place. It's a little weird that IE didn't have the problem though when my forum was inactive. In any case, if someone could let me know about my Google Adsense questions, I'd appreciate it.

Edit forumhome / and header, replacing the adsense code with your banner codes. If you need help, you can PM me with a temp admin login, and I can do it for you. References available at markbolyard.com or by the others I've helped in the style threads of mine.

hi mark,

thanks for the reply. i was able to figure it out on my own, but I do appreciate that you took the time out to help.

there are some problems though. header and footer ads are gone, and I was able to take out the google advertisment on the side. but, what is strange is that there is a period "." in place where the table was in Firefox. but, when I use IE, there is no period.

also, spacing seems to be inconsistent between IE and Firefox, particularly when I added a test logo in the header section. the tabs are not inline with the two horizontal lines running across the screen. There is a gap. I tried various logos and sometimes the tabs are perfectly positioned, other times the tabs are right on top of the lines, or there is a gap. have you heard of these problems before? do you happen to know how i can fix them?

i'd really appreciate your help.

Mark, because it's a custom style, the vblog link isn't going to display in the tabbed navigation, you'll have to manually ad it by copying an existing tab code, and adding another tab.

I'm sure this can be done, however currently I don't have time to provide "customizations" to this style. If it's a matter of adding a extra button, removing ads, and those types of things that I can help quickly on, then I'd be happy to help. Currently I am loaded down with client work and can't offer a quick solution.

mjv, I'll have to have a look at this on my test forum to see if there are firefox issues. If you made changes, it's possible the code used isn't cross browser compatible. Also, I mentioned this style was put together in a hurry so I have not checked it prior to this in firefox. I will try to figure it out as soon as possible, but perhaps someone that has some coding / css experience could offer some advice. (See above note to huntrKillr)

Thanks and sorry that at this time I couldn't assist you a little further.

hi mark,

no worries. hopefully i can find someone who can take a look at the code and figure out what's going on with the gaps and the period.

i had another question though, and i'm not sure if there is a quick answer to it or not. do you know how i can display the number of guests browsing the forums with your template? i noticed that you did not include that. is it an easy fix?

Thanks.

Is there any chance of getting a better (read: larger) screenshot?

[markbolyard]

I just updated the demo link so you can see the style there in full working order. MJV, yes, I'll get back to you with the code in a little bit.

thanks, mark.

please do post the code when you can. i'd really like to display how many guests are viewing the forum.
