I have to agree , it is a very cool mod that adds a little something to your site. Well made.

[ewebdesigner]

For some reason when I installed this hack the footer looked much different. I am pretty savy with html and a little other code but this could not work right. My vb credits remained the same. See my forum footer: http://www.affcrusher.com/forum

[GhostHunter2010]

nothin special lol i tested an looks horrible

[UK CHI3F]

I see someone else asked about centering all the columns to the screen, i don't want to do it to my screen as others would look wrong so changing the pixels from the left dosent cut it for me.

Has anyone got another solution for this? It must be possible surely to make the fluid look good

[ShawneyJ]

About to install a test VB4 site to support my VB4 mods, i will be testing this out thank you

[Bluefin221]

I added an image to the bottom which appears to slightly overlap unsure how to get rid of the overlapping, anyone any ideas?

Any update in integrating the default vbulletin footer bar links in one of your footer columns?

Thanks!

[Vick98]

Excellent mod that makes your forum look professional.

Check out the footer: http://www.soullessknights.com

Those of you who are trying to center this in your forum, add this to your additional.css

.footer1 .container {
    width: 1090px;
    margin: auto;
}

Thanks!

I tried & i messed it all up. Also, i didn't spend much time with it. I don't think many people would prefer it. You can use the same color for footer background & column background to make it look alike.. [I mean footer bar & my column background]
