newbie here - Hi!!
i'm having a go at my first multi-styles today and like this style - i've uploaded and installed - installation was a dream - looks good too!
problem is: i had previously installed a couple of hacks, i.e. The Welcome Headers Hack, and i also had Google adsense ads showing in my default style......... well, now i don't. The default style still shows them, but the new uploaded styles don't - do i have to re-do all the hacks/mods for each style?!

that's gonna be some chore if that's the case!!

[markbolyard]

Depends on the hacks / mods installed. You won't have to reinstall the mods / hacks, but you may need to go back and make the template edits for each hack. Do a inventory of what you installed, and review the install documentation per mod. Chances are, there are only a few mods that actually required a manual template edit.

"Welcome headers" seems to be working on all new styles as do some adsense ads (first and last threads), but only adsense beneath navbar and forumdisplay are missing - i'll sort them out

i've added a couple more of your skins too!! take a look! - www.pixaforum.com

Very nice

Currently my coders are working on commercial skins for our new skin store, but hopefully I'll be releasing some more freebies soon.

As always, thanks to everyone who has used one of my skins, and those that have regged on my forum...

I think, I confused myself :knockedout:
I edited the navbar_buttons.psd file o the way I wanted it but it doesn't look right. When I went to upload it, I noticed the one that is the original is individual files. Did I do something wrong?

[markbolyard]

Yes, they are in fact individual files. The easies way would be to edit the psd, then open the origional images and copy your new button over the old so it lines up correctly. I'm not sure of you skill set in photoshot, but you could also slice the image to the needed size and overwrite the origional images.

Thats well above my Photoshop ability. I think I will make due with the default. I will not un-install it though because I really like this style

This places a specific banner on a specific forum.  I have companies sponsor specific forums and need to display their ads on specific forums.  I've not seen this code anywhere else so I posted it here as it was written for this skin.

1st use your graphic editor to add your banner ad to c2_04.jpg and rename it to a unique name.



//this is stock code to find
<table width="100%" height="100" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" background="images/c2/c2_03.jpg">

//left title banner

looks like this is missing the "Forum / Last Post / Threads / Posts" header bar on the content table of the main vforum page.
