Hey guys. Just getting into vbul and let me say the community is awesome. I am a recent purchaser and am having a hard time setting up my new skin that i purchased. No matter what I try it stays on the default.

Can anyone give me a simple walkthrough by chance?
I know I'm messing up somewhere but I just can't get it off the default style.

Please help, and thanks in advance.

Read the manual? http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/v...roup_stylelang

Quote:

Default Style - Set the default style for your forums. This style will be used for all guests, and any members who have not expressed a style preference in their options, or are attempting to use a style that does not exist or is forbidden.

You tried that?

Also: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/s..._edit_settings make sure "Allow User Selection" is set to yes.

Do I have to change this?

I'm used to using wordpress, I guess this vbull will take some time to get the hang of.

Go into your options and search through your theme options, in there will be a selection for your default skin, set that to ForumHeaven then your default skin will be ForumHeven. Making the Default Style not visible doesn't help, since it is still set as Default, and Guests will still see that when coming to the forum.

Thank you 1000 times over.
The vbull interface is a bit different, but definitely worth learning:up:

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
