Retro Blue

Retro Blue

Designed by J. Digory of Neeto.org for free use.
Included in the style are PSD/PNG files so that users of both Fireworks and Photoshop may edit the logo and add new Site Links.

There is no longer a demo version of this style, as development as stopped and my personal site has moved on to other uses. To those who used this style in the past, thank you. To those who wanted more development, I am sorry. Screenshots are available in the second post.

Bugs & Other Gnats
Myself and a few others have tested the style on both Mac and Windows using multiple browsers. Opera is the only one that ended up needing some special coding just for it, but it should be behaving properly now. But if you do find something that is not quite right, share it. I will do whatever I can to fix them in a timely manner.

Edit (1/15/06) - The included instructions do not mention that the Site Links buttons, located to the right of the logo, need to be configured. I have included a PSD and a fireworks PNG file that will allow you to easily make your own buttons for this area.

As a side note, I have made a set of smilies that are only available at my site. They go well with this style, but I have chosen to release them seperately, as by default, smilies are universal across the site. While the same is true about icons, it is my design, and I chose to do icons.

Edit (2/8/06) - I have fixed the layered logos and some images, as well as a few templates.

Edit (7/31/06) - A version for vB 3.6 has been released here.

Enjoy.

P.S. Thank you Robert, Disjunto, and Elmo, all from vbulletin-fans.com for your help in the early stages of the style.

I noticed that on the demo site at www.neeto.org that this style is also working with vbAdvanced.

However, when I install it, not all the images are showing on the homepage and it is messed up.

How do I fix it?

[Bad Bunny]

I installed it using the standard instructions with vbadvanced (full image paths, etc). A couple of specific vbadvanced images are not included in the style, which is intentional.

Pretty sweet style man! Thanks for putting it out there. I have some probably stupid config questions about it though. First off, I'm running my vBulletin on a subdomain (http://forum.cheesefrog.com) while my copy of vBadvanced sits on http://www.cheesefrog.com. Both have different document root -- I'm not sure if that's what's causing the weirdness. But anyway what I'm seeing is that on the forum.cheesefrog.com/xxxxx.php, the Portal/Home/Gallery link tabs at the top all point to forum.cheesefrog.com/xxxxx.php. But the same links on www.cheesefrog.com all point to www.cheesefrog.com. Short of hard-coding the links, what can I do so that the links in the message board point to www.cheesefrog.com/xxxxx.php instead?

Well, I would say hardcode the three links at the top. You could make your own replacement variables for the paths, but it seems like more work than it's worth.

Is there a specific reason you are against hardcoding the links?

I noticed you are using the images I made for the style but not the style. You also have a credit link to someone else, which sort of implies that I didn't make the images. Would have been nice if you had asked before you decided to use my images and credit someone else.

This is a fantastic template. I have noticed however that the remember me option during logon is missing since I made the switch. What is wrong?

[Bad Bunny]

I think I brought this up in the file you were supposed to read. Check it out and if you are still confused I will help you out. I basically made it so the administrator can configure it to show or not. It is automatically selected just hidden by default. If people wish to log out, they can log out.
