none of the images work because my forum isn't

forum/images

it's

vb/images

how do I make it work?

nevermind found it

That's funny you use something I created, then ask for my help on something I designed and can't even give me credit for designing it... Lame "Designed by JDM Dreams". :ermm: It's still 99.9% my graphics, buttons, CSS, template changes ect. That is the terms of use to keep the Copyright/Designed by notice at the bottom.

I've updated the zip. the forward.gif image was mis-named. I've Attached it here for a quick fix if anyone needs to upload it.

Nice. Looks techy enough for a computer site that I am doing. Thanks!

^ Hope it works out for you, If you need any help let me know.

I am such a style n00b, the images won't load even though I have specified the right paths. It's on a testing site but I can't let anyone in there till I'm done. Here's a screenie

^ Looks like most of them are loading, try fixing the paths in the header and footer. Perhaps do a search in the style for "heavy_metal" and you may find some paths that you've missed. If you've renamed the folder you might need to find "heavy_metal" everywhere in the style and change it to the new name....

The way my forum is set up, it's in a subdomain that really isn't working right. So I had to set the domain to http://www.mysite.com/forums/etc instead of forums.mysite2.com because the subdomain wasn't working. But it works now. Thanks for the pointer!

Glad you got it to work.

What are the advantages of setting it up as either a child or parent style? Is one preferred over another when using "hacks"?

Thanks alot, great style.

I've tried to keep this style fairly free of being having the templates modified so it would go well as a child or a parent. The main changes are: the header (logo change), footer (logo), and forum home (status icons legend). On my site I have it as a child.

My suggestion would be to install it as a stand alone style, Then take a look at the templates I've changed and copy them to a notepad (or text file). Go into the settings of this style and make it child style of your default style (unless you want this to be the main) and revert all templates for this style. Then re-add the templates you've copied to the notepad (or text file) and you're done.... That way you only have 3 or 4 modified templates from your default style...

I hope that answers your question, and glad you like the style....
