i think you'll have to explain a bit, really hard to tell what kind of problem you're having.
sorry for the images but there is no easy way of telling this..
As you can see in the first image, it is normal and I love it Look at the arrows..
When I click any link in the forum it moves to right, look at the arrows there is no space there. This happens for a second only but very annoying.. everytihng moves..
There are Zoints SEO, Zoints Tags, and some little hack on the forum. I add one extra button to navbar. I dont remember if it was still moving before adding the extra button. Main Table Width is %100
Any ideas?
Only problem I had was with the header lol, it's fixed and now as I said it looks wonderful.
Great work Allan, you did an awesome job!
Feedback: Let other languages be the add-ons and let english be the default buttons otherwise the majority of people will be changing buttons around lol .
What an amazing skin. I found it straightforward to customize. I chose this because we're an academic site, and it was difficult to find something that I could adapt to our aesthetic style. Many layouts try to reach out and grab the attention of your skull. What we were after was a template that allowed the look of our organization to transcend that of the interface. We wanted a minimalist approach. I also need this to be simple, because like many of you I only have to decorate vB when all older templates are no longer compatable with the latest release of software, making each upgrade a learning curve.
Our look had already been established. Under our previous version (2.3 -- yeah, I know, we didn't upgrade for a very long time) I had limited success.
Now with v.3.6.2, a lot can be done directly in the AdminCP instead of me hacking the files directly.
This is what I've done with it, and it only took me a few days.
My main site is http://swordforum.com/ -- so the challenge was to customize Chestnut to look like my main site.
The only significant code changing was with the background image aligntment and positioning -- that was done in the CSS file. I kept the "left.gif" and "right.gif" as transparent GIFs with a 1 px vertical line to give the layout an outline. Keeping them also created some fake left- and right-padding which ended up looking nice.
I like the mouse-over fades, so I customized it, so different antique swords appear. I also customized the navbits to use swords instead of folders.
So here is a bow of respect to the Chestnut author! Merci beaucoup, Allan-san!
P.S. One bug I found was that if you have a forum category that serves as its own lone forum, the layout is stretched extremely wide. To solve this, I created a forum category and move that forum as a child of that category. Once I did this, the forum listing was the same width as the other boxes.
