Remove vbadvanced

[Astroman]

Hi,

I want to remove vbadvanced from my site and make it into a normal vbulletin board. It does have vblogetin installed also, I'm not sure how that work, or if it matters if that's installed or not.

I've found a couple of pages that say to do the vbadvanced install in reverse, but I just got the site off someone else and I never installed vbadvanced before so I don't know what the reverse is.

Can someone give me simpleton instructions of how to get rid of it? I just think it makes the site too complicated for what I want.

Go to vBAdvanced's website: http://vbadvanced.com

Download a copy of vBAdvanced and take a look at the Installation Instructions -- that's what you need to do in reverse. It should simply be a matter of uninstalling any Product XML included; I believe they include a stand-alone installation script, so you'll need to run that and choose to uninstall it.

Actually the way they have it doesn't look so bad:

I just want this page: http://www.bodyforlifeforum.com/forum/index.php

to display like this page: http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/index.php

showing all the details and posts like an ordinary vbulletin forum. I thought it was vbadvanced making my site look like poo, but it must be just some settings somewhere I guess? If I could get it to work like the vbadvanced site I would leave it as it is, well and make a nicer skin too.

Wow. You have indeed got a heavily modified index there.

Just so there's no confusion, this is vBAdvanced: http://www.bodyforlifeforum.com/index.php

This is your Forum's main page, which is totally unrelated to vBAdvanced: http://www.bodyforlifeforum.com/forum/index.php

You either need to revert several templates or start using a new skin to get vBulletin's default functionality back.

I suspected as much right after I posted, it's the template that is the stinking pile of donkey poop. I will look for a better, functional template and see how it looks then.

Thanks.

P.S. Do I need a special template for VBAdvanced, or will any 367 compatible template be ok?

edit: never mind I just found a post that says vbadvanced takes it's info from whatever template you use with vbulletin.

[Kirk Y]

Precisely.

I use Vbadvanced and it is wonderful. I would be happy to help out with any issues that you have if you need.
