Is it messed up with the default style? I'm asking because that custom style has a tonne of xhtml validation errors, any of which might cause odd behaviour with the appearance of a page.

No the default style is fine but thats because the default style only has the VB navbar not the custom navbar he has added to the forum.

Here is the custom navbar coding in the 'header' template:

Can I build a new template based off 'header' and replace the line in the awards template?
Then edit the new template IE header_awards and try to fix the issue that is conflicting with the awards template?

A couple of things, there's an unofficial patch to YAAS that you do not appear to be using. You can grab it from here.

Also you're menu is missing the </li> that corresponds to TPE - Center 2.

I'm not sure that will fix everything, but it will at least start you in the right direction.

Figured it out, its actually what I thought was a vbulletin bug that I mentioned a few pages ago but isn't. If you edit the template AWARDS and just before</head> add {vb:raw headinclude_bottom}. This should fix the issue.

My friend you are a Genius!

Thank you very much. I would have never figured that out alone.

Ah snaps! Makes sense..so If I enable html just in that forum it should be fine right?

Something similar needs to be done for the awards_recommend_form template and awards_request_form

EDIT: I should say everyone of his award templates that are their own page

Specifically in templates
awards_recommend_form
awards_request_form
awards_viewaward

where

$headinclude

</head>

should be

$headinclude
$headinclude_bottom
</head>

No, because the post was created with the assumption that html would not work, so bbcode was used instead. The problem is that the [img]https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/[/img] bbcode does not handle relative links. A fix to the bbcode, no likely to be done, or a fix to the code to generate that post which prepends the site url to relative urls needs to be done. I can likely do the second, but wouldn't count on jelsoft doing the first. They may even have reasons for not doing it, which if I were to guess it would be because it is too difficult to determine what a valid relative url looks like.

Thanks, I'll see about putting together a new version with all the templates updated.
