Installed this, and it works fine. However, for some reason the font color of Friends & Contacts is white, so you can't see it. (unless you mouse over of course) Does anybody know where I can change this?

So yea, it's required.

*shrugs*, I still am having issues.. Reverted templates back to default and tried again, I still don't have an overlay.



I also have the same issue as Sadoy, Friends & contact text is white, which makes it hard to see unless you mouse over it.

[TheLastSuperman]

Aye!

Vicious you know I like you man but here's the dealio for everyone new to this or just not aware:

1. You can't just copy someones code as Daten did yours without asking first unless you marked your mod as "Re-Usable Code".
2. You can upload SevenSkins product for download in your mod thread Vicious.
3. YOU all can however ask each other for permission to do so but the product of one coder should not be placed for download in another coders modification thread all sorts of issue come to mind including but not limited to the original coder updating his mod yet this version would remain and be outdated could cause issues int he future no matter how responsible you are it's still two edits and having to keep up with it = no no.
4. Daten should have come to you and offered his code no sense having a new thread about it, your Rework is slightly different that your original mod thread and it works fine on 4.0 not 4.0.1 and this version here works fine on 4.0.1 but looks off in 4.0 I bet due to the alignment issue so it can be left as it's for use with a specific version IF you make sure the version listed is 4.0 instead of 4.0.x

Other stuff comes to mind but a few of you just needed that to be said I hope, meant as a fyi.

okay try this instead

remove the top header info from vbulletin.css

and add it like this to headerinclude template after dropdown.js script line

<style type="text/css">
.top-header-info{
    position:absolute;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
    -moz-border-radius-topright: 0px;
    -webkit-border-radius-top-right: 0px;
    -moz-border-radius-topleft: 0px;
    -webkit-border-radius-top-left: 0px;
    z-index: 2000;
    top:0px;
    right:0px;
    padding-left: 12px;
    padding-top: 8px;
    padding-right: 6px;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
    margin-top: -0px;
    height: 85px;
    width:320px;
    color:#FFFFFF;
    background: #7192A8 url(images/gradients/gradient-grey-down.png) top left repeat-x;
    font: 12px verdana;
}
</style>

the code has been changed

[BSMedia]

You're getting there with it.

1. You should ditch the table, and use <div style="float: right; padding: 3px;"> for the avatar placement

2. You shouldn't make a call to yet another CSS file from the headinclude, instead those definitions should be added to vbulletin.css since you're already requesting an edit there.

3. z-index: 2px; isn't valid. z-index can't have a pixel value and instead should be just 2 if thats what you want it.

4. Why not make use of the already built in vBulletin drop down menus, rather than adding another call to a javascript file.

Great work though!

[TheLastSuperman]

Ahh thanks yeah that's a big no-no... I know the rules for posting mods are around here somewhere let me find the link, I just don't want you all to get in trouble and even Daten seems to be confused on the proper methods plus if we don't make it known when stuff like this happens others might make a repeat in the future and we don't want that either .

Vicious think of Z-index like layers, the higher the number the better the chances of it being on the very top

[CrazyProgrammer]

i cant see avatars when i use this

the vbulletin dropdown has alignment issues, but this dropdown does not.

its easier with the table. i tested the code every way, so i think i know what im doing.

ill fix the z-index part though
