Black and Gold 3.5

As promised I have ported over my popular Black and Gold style from vB 3.0.X to vB 3.5 and I have also made some minor changes to it. I received a lot of requests to apply the category spacing modification to the old version; however, due to time constraints I was never able to get that completed but have included it with this release (If you would like a version without this please let me know and I can release it as well.) I also modified a few of the images but the majority of them remain the same as in the previous version.

As always please let me know of any issues with the style - I tested it pretty thoroughly and wasn't able to find anything out of place but I have missed things before.

* Updated the .XML file for vBulletin 3.5.4.

I had that same problem.

I fixed it by only allowing a certain number of characters there

vB Options -> Forum Listings Display Options -> Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters

try setting that to something like 15?

That's the easiest way to fix it without getting messy with the templates, and the moderator column is an option somewhere within vBulletin itself (It's on one of the vBulletin Options pages, but I can't remember which one it is.)

I got the same problem as topanet. Any ideas on how to fix it, except the solution from LincolnInForums?

Did you try the column alignment fix that I added to the style description ? If not, give that a try and it should fix the spacing issues. If you have tried that and it didn't fix it I can take a look and see if something changed between 3.5.0 and 3.5.1, but it will be a day or so before I can look into it.

from the lastet download, you have already fix this issue in your xml...
so when i take a look your forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost is already change with your update..

here is i try to update the column fix:
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="5%">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="55%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="30%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="125">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>

also in Main Table Width (StyleVar) i used 95%... it look perfect when our browser is 1024x728 also in Maximum Size condition, if you minimize the window (scroll min) the table will be mess up again..
i don't know what happen... still confusing right now..

[Andrew]

I know I fixed the problem with the Main Table Width style variable - You should be able to put anything in there and have it work (Within reason.) Also - If the column allignment fix has been applied I can only assume that it's because you're allowing too many characters in the Last Post column. I tried to break it on my developement forums and was not succesful. If you want to - Send me a PM with a link to your forums so I can take a first hand look at the issue.

[topanet]

i have somethin interesting after i doing your advice to revert the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost into default..
1. BEFORE LOGIN, all table is lost.. see attachment
2. AFTER LOGIN, the table is good and align... no matter we minimize or scroll min or max, the table still constant and looks good... see attachment

hope can give you some idea to fix this???

many thanks for your support..

topan.

You need to revert all of the Forum Home templates that I modified - I think all together there are 3 forumhome_forumbit templates as well as the main forumhome template that were changed.

I'm having an odd issue that I'm wondering if anyone has encountered before with this skin. For moderators, the forum display is showing the list of topics, followed by the regular footer, and then it repeats the entire topic list again starting at the "New Thread" button. Any idea of where this duplication is coming from? It does not do this for non moderators.
