Welcome ladies and gentleman, this is the release thread for GRPS, an interactive groups commune. I hope you enjoy this release and i sincerely hope it provides everything to your community in which you're looking for.
What is it?
It's a groups commune. The original idea is that forums with lots and lots of forums on the front-page suck, as a result i thought most of the conversation was rather obscure in regards to what the forums were trying to achieve, so it'd be nice to have that all going on elsewhere, not detracting away from the content and stopping your front-page from looking like a car crash.

Special Thanks to harry1951, without his help testing and his recommendations, this would've never ended up the way it did.
Honestly, i can't think of anything else, if you appreciate the work gone into this mod, please donate (in GBP) (right click open in new window)
Hopefully you all appreciate that i just relaunched my site and rather than soak up the atmosphere there or go out drinking i came to release this tonight.
Screens below, rest to your right
Please note this mod does work with 3.5.x
PLEASE DO NOT JOIN MY SITE IN A BID TO PLAY WITH IT OR HAVE A LOOK AT IT FURTHER, MY SITE IS SOMETHING I VALUE FOR BEING SOMEWHERE I CAN CHILL AT, IT'S NOT A TEST SUITE OR DEMO!

my css is ok I installed css_prefix.xml
but images have same error..
just had a look and it seems you got half of it working, so my job is easier, here's the rest of what to do.
Go to your AdminCP => Styles & Templates => <your style> All Style Options
Now scroll down to the Image Paths section
and change the "Button Images Folder" from "images/buttons" to http://www.yoursite.com/forum/images/buttons"
do that for each of the proceeding image paths. they will be:
sorry RonoxQ, it's unbeleivably hard to follow a conversation in this thread, your problem is the on about it linking to everything wrongly right? someone else had that problem and it was the Zoints SEO mod. if that's not your problem (i'll get a chance to read back through the thread in about half hour) then just hold tight, this message will be edited.
Yep, that was the problem! Dang, I liked that hack. Hope it gets fixed soon... (I mean SEO, I've picked Groups over it.)
Now images aren't showing up. Darn... The URL they're giving me adds /groups/ to the end of my forum URL. >_<
and make sure the cookie path is set to "/". that should fix it.
That worked but now I cant create any groups...it keeps says cant find phrase grps_thanks or grps_formerror. Depending on if i fill in both fields. I get the grps_formerror error when just doing the title and when i fill in both fields i get the grps_thanks error.
The smilies and avatars are being referred to differently and thus not showing. Just a bunch of red x's. They want to point to a smilies and images folder in the groups folder. Also, when I click on the link at the top of the forums that shows categories, forums, etc, when I am in a forum or thread in the groups, it wants to reference to the 'groups' folder rather than the main forums.
