Epic

This style was developed by my firm Epic Designz as a promotional tool for a new site called YourIndex. This style is free to be used on any forum provided that you retain the small promotional message in the footer (We made it as unobtrusive as possible.) The package includes the full set of PSD's, so you can make changes to suit your board or apply the same layout to non-vBulletin portions of your site. If there are any problems with the style, please report them to me in this thread, so I can get them resolved as quickly as possible.

I noticed the layout.psd file and opened it up in PS. I see that you can change the logo there. But then what? Do you crop it to the exact dimensions of the header_left.gif, save it, and then rename it?

I know this isn't a photoshop forum and I apologize for that. Just curious what the proper procedre is.

Thanks

In the root of the .ZIP archive is a file named "Blank Header.psd" - You can use that file, add whatever logo you like, and then just save over the existing "header_left.gif" (It's already cropped to the right size.)

it is named in the download version as: 'collapse_fhome_tcat_collapse.gif'

but its only working with 'collapse_fhome_tcat_collapsed.gif'

anyway, in my version didn't appeared this pic and after renaming it it worked.

thx and regards thy

That is really strange - I'll look into that and upload a new .ZIP archive if need be. Thanks for the heads up

hmm.. I change my header and footer. but now all my forum images are broken. now the url to images on the fourm is wrong. it doubles up the "forums" ie: url now goes to:

ht tp://www.naestar.net/forums/forums/images/epic/header_left.gif

haalp!!!

nice, smooth looking skin, will install and test it out

In the demo you provided, all the stats showed up on the left. But when I tried your style my ranks and posts are on the right, and only my name shows up on the left. How do I get my rank and all on the left just like the demo?

I think you're reffering to the postbit - If you go to "vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Style and Language Settings", you will find an option towards the bottom that says "Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template." Enable that, and it should change the postbit to the left aligned one for you.

Can't you just go in to your templates and remove one of the instances of "forums/" ?

which templates?!?

can you be more specific as to where I'd have to remove it. I tried a few things and failed miserably.

There seems to be a small problem in Opera where the user columns while viewing a thread totally vary, eg...



If you look closely you'll notice the top user column is much wider than the bottom. Any way to fix this?

Still brilliant skin.

That's kind of bizarre - I'll install Opera later today and see if I can recreate it on my development site.
