For everyone who has times when they want to go totally retro, or just for a complete blast from the past.
This is something that I created simply because I was totally bored looking at vB3.x styles and wanted something completely different.
Literally, it is the total vBulletin 2.3.x style for vBulletin 3.6.0 (and should work with other versions in the 3.6.x series). It is the complete vBulletin 2.3.x style, written especially for vB 3.6.x which contains all the 3.6.x features, but in the classic style.
Important notes:
There is no differentiation between postbit and postbit_legacy, simply because there was only one style of postbit back then. Also, apart from the dropdowns in places like the members list, the only dropdowns in the whole style are in the usercp naviagtion, and the search and quicklinks in the navbar. Admin Tools are located in their previous location at the bottom right of the page, along with things like thread rating, search this thread, and forum jump.
Any modifications that you have made to your other styles for modifications installed, will need to be reapplied for this style. If you have any problems adding something (especially if it needs to go in places like forumhome, forumdisplay, showthread, memberinfo, newthread, or newreply) then please post which modification you require the edits for along with your copy of the style XML file and I will be happy to do them for you.
A significant number of templates have been completely rewritten for this style, so if you do encounter any problems, just ask.
Live Demo - Guest posting is enabled in the welcome room. You are also welcome to register to try out things like the usercp and other member only functions. You will notice the version number in my footer has been changed, but the site, despite what it says, is running the latest build of vBulletin.
Installation instructions are located in the zip file.
Attached are a selection of screenshots taken from this style.

Very nice. I've been looking for this. Except maybe I would prefer a version where only the visual part was rewritten, not the interface part, like in postbit. ;p
I don't get you there PV. Are you meaning that you still want all the dropdown menus and stuff like that, or pages like the forms to be left alone?
The style only requires javascript to be enabled in the usercp. The rest of the style works exactly like vB2 (or as close to it as I could replicate). The only drop down menus are the menu and search buttons in the navbar (quick links and search respectively), in the usercp, and inline moderation.

Yes, I mean that I want the functionality&layout of vB 3.6 and colors/feel of vB 2.X.
I just recently upgraded my board to the much awaited 3.7 beta version. The really really bad thing is that this theme no longer looks as good with all the changes/enhancements that has come with 3.7. Is there any chance that you are planning to update this theme to suit the 3.7-series of vB? It is beyond my skills to do an entire update myself, but I'll be more than glad to assist in any way suitable.
Thanks for providing the funkyiest and most wonderful theme for vB! :up:
