Upgrading from an older version of my style.

• Overwrite the "yourforum.com/simpleblue" directory with the one in the 3.8.3 zip.
• Upload the Language XML (THIS IS NEEDED FOR PARTS OF THE SKIN WHICH ARE CUSTOM CODED TO WORK)
• Upload the Style XML and click "Allow overwrite"

If you are unsure, drop me a PM and I shall install the style for a very reasonable price.
************************************************** *********
************************************************** *********

Editting the Dynamic News Content Block

Go to the style manager, and then navbar template, and at the bottom of the navbar template, there is the sidebar blocks. Find and edit the:

PHP Code:

fcontent[0]="<b>Congratulations</b><br>Your new skin has been installed. <a href='http://parlancia.com'>Click here to visit authors site</a>";
fcontent[1]="This code is editable via your NavBar template.";
fcontent[2]="News could be put here, refer to the skin release thread for more details.</a>"; 


everything after the =" and before the last ";


************************************************** *********
************************************************** *********

Editting Content Blocks

Go to the style manager, and then navbar template, and at the bottom of the navbar template, there is the sidebar blocks. Find "<!-- SIDEBAR -->" and edit the content, which you should see easily, as it is plain text and not code.


************************************************** *********

Fixed Sidebar (I really really hope)

Hi Mikey, did you have any luck with this? Thanks!

When I view my site as a member, it's fine. When I view it as a guest the width is off.

Screenshots: 1 & 2

How do I fix this?

I would suggest that you do not use the sidebar version of this skin and install one of the many sidebar mods. Sorry.

Quick tip:

I reccommend replacing the button images included with these: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=317207

They'd fit alot better

This file was created using a different version of vBulletin from the one you are running.

Your version: 3.8.4
File version: 3.8.3

anyway to get this fixed? or how can i fix it?

[ExplosiveGFX]

There are no template changes between 3.8.3 and 3.8.4, hit "ignore style version".

Hi guys,

I'm messing with the vB4 Styling Engine. I hope I will be able to update this style to vB4 for you all.
