a festive Thanksgiving forum style

Fall is here, and Thanksgiving (my second favorite holiday) is right around the corner.

'Give Thanks' features -

1. Many original images
2. a Thanks button for those who use the Post Thanks mod
3. Separated forum categories
4. XHTML 1.0 transitional

LIVE DEMO

Installation Instructions

1. Download the zip file to your computer and extract it (I put it on my desktop, it's easier to remember where I put it!).
2. Open your ftp client to your server. Go to your forum's images folder, open it, and create a styles folder.
3. Next, upload the thanks folder via FTP to your server, into the styles folder, so that your image path is images/styles/thanks/buttons, for example.
4. After you've uploaded the folder, open your admin control panel on your forum, and import the xml file, by going to Styles & Templates > Download / Upload styles > Import Style XML File.
5. Click on the Browse button, locate the thanks-style.xml, and double-click it so it loads in that box, then hit the Import button.

The zip file contains a 'blanks' folder where you'll find a blank header and buttons, all in PNG format, for easy editing. No PSD's are available.

Don't forget to click "mark as installed" for support!

If you have any questions, just holler.

Enjoy!

ok, you still have to go through each of the forums and make that category a parent forum of each forum.

Might also help if you put your images in the right area.. So they will show up Or are you currently working on it so they do not show up purposly?

Each forum i moved to category but still not working look that screen shot please ????

[Ohiosweetheart]

I'm looking at the screenshot. I've never seen that problem before, so I have no clue what the cause would be. If you want to pm me with admin access to your admin control panel, I'll take a look and see if I can figure it out.

you completely misunderstood what I said. Most of your forums are marked as forums, with no parent category. Styles will not display correctly like this. Plus you didn't have the subforums set up to display correctly. I fixed that setting. I also fixed a category and changed settings on 3 forums so that they display properly in that category. You'll have to take it from there yourself.

You have to have a category, then group forums into the category. I really don't know how to explain this any clearer, as I'm not good at explaining things anyway lol.

BTW - you also don't have the images uploaded correctly. which is why they're not showing.

i got it now thanx alot mate ...... I really appreciate your quick replies and help ...

Excellent theme, only one problem in my opinion:
The header image is not clickable to bring you back to the forum home. Easily fixed:
In the header template, look for

<td align="center" valign="top" width="698"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_sample.png" width="698" border="0" alt="logo"/></td>

and change to:

<td align="center" valign="top" width="698"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_sample.png" width="698" border="0" alt="logo"/></a></td>

Like I said, a very simple fix. I don't plan on changing the header image at all, so this works perfect for me. Thank you so much for the time spent doing this!

Thanks for the tip, I'm glad you like the design. I purposely don't link the header back to the forum, because some people don't like it. I don't, personally.

Also, in that example you have the header aligned center. It should be aligned left in this style
