Suite Style - vB4 Blue

Now updated to vB 4.0.7 as labeled in the new download

Here's a skin I am sort of modeling off of vb.org here, I am using threadmarkers from Shelley_c https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229462 (mostly because I am just not that fond of the huge images they are using in 4).

Preview Here

To install go to AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Download / Upload Styles > Import style XML file and browse for vb4_blue-style.xml and import it. Upload the images to your forum root images folder, so it should be forum/images/vb4_blue.

Q&A
Q: How do I enable the side blocks?
A: Admin CP > Settings > Options > Forum Sidebar and Block Options. You must also go to Forums & Moderators > Forum Blocks Manager and add your blocks before it will work.

Q: I don't have a CMS, will this still work for the forum only?
A: Yes.

Q: It's working for the forum but not the CMS?
A: Login from the front end, use the pencil icon and change the theme to the new style instead of default style.

Anything 4.0.2 or below please download vB4_Blue.zip

Same here. This is my default skin, and I won't upgrade until this is in place! Thanks!

Just looking at this thread for the first time https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...91#post1984091 Holy cow man they made a lot of changes. I can't mess with this until I get home later but my guess is that most of this style will have to be rebuilt. I can imagine many of the other styles here will be in for the same thing.

I will bump this thread when I have this version in place, I will most likely have to have separate version between the current version and 4.02.

It may not be as bad as you think. With a quick test, it looked like just the main forum index page was messed up. Threads and posts looked normal.

It even seems to work okay for the CMS (once I got access back to the CMS after my upgrade).

Can someone give me a screenshot? I just upgraded to 4.0.2 and it appears to be working for me in both IE and FF.

Here you go. Note the missing "bars" / separators between forums and behind the forum name on the main index page.

The second screen shot shows how it should be via the default vB style.

Hmm.. I am unable to replicate that. You also still have the vb4_blue folder within the images folder, right? Also, the bars use the default image class and then just lays the color on top of them so that's sort of strange. I wonder if something changed in the upgrade process today because during my upgrade it did a lot of merging with templates and it all seemed to work.

[djbaxter]

My upgrade involved a lot of template merges too.

I just re-downloaded the zp file for the style, reuploaded all the images, and then re-imported the style. Same porblem.
