Starting to regret my vB purchase.

[Brinnie]

Between this site and vbulltin.com, I am getting no where fast.

And you know, I'm not a complete n00b. I can skin an Invision board from the ground up. But I'm not familiar with vB customizing. But the questions I am asking are increadibly simple.

And to give you an idea what I'm talking about, is that I've been trying to add a CUSTOM COLOR to the swatch for 3 days... 3 friggin days...

vB won't help me because I'm touching the code and you guys don't help me because...? I dunno, do you think my questions are so stupid I should re-read the manual or do a search on the forum?

But I don't know "what's what" in your world- but I do know it's a little different.
IPB has Invisionize for 3rd party support. They are to IPB what you are to vB. And I swear, I ask them something simple like, "How do I add more post icons" and it's answered within 1-3 hours. Not here.


I understand you do not guarantee support. But who does? No one. But here, I can't even bump my topic when it falls to the bottom of the page because of this automerge thing. (how lame)


How stupid can vB get to not supporting custom color? Really, what is it, 1 template edit or something? And then I have this other issue where moderators can view the Admin's IP, and the list goes on...


And I'm not saying it's your fault. It's most likely vB's. But I'm just ranting.

Between the 2 boards, I cannot find n00b sollutions to n00b problems. This makes me shudder at the thought of installing a hack.

Modifying colors for the most part does not require editing any code, including the templates. Jelsoft should be able to directly support your unmodified installation. I would say, though, that vB3's modification learning curve is far more sharp than vB2's was.

Yea, I'm finding that out. It's so simple that is scares me.

But my issue is dealing with the color swatch for the post screen. Here's the thread.

Brinnie...what exactly are you trying to do? Just change the colors of your forum?

As good a product as vbulletin is (i love it) it seems that this:

Is the answer most people get unless asking very simple "how to" questions concerning functionalty..

your way for asking things done wont help you.
If you are not familiar with CSS or Simple HTML code for selecting an HEX colour its not vB's problem.

And they told you to ask for suppor @ vbulletin.com

Roxie, the color swatch on the post screen lacks deeppink. I mean, it has magenta, but I'm not happy with it's selection and I would like to add more colors to it.

Just put the hex color code for the color you want, and voila.
