Simple style - VERY stripped down, VERY fast · **Released**: 07-05-2006

This style is a SUPER stripped down skin. For instance: on forumhome and in the threadlist, instead of seperate icons for new threads, old threads, new posts, etc., they just use the same icons that are hard-coded in to cut way back on conditionals, etc. This helps the pages load A LOT faster. Also on forumhome, where it shows last post, it doesn't show the detailed time information, so it doesn't have to go look and see when the post was made, etc. All of the graphics are smaller and heavily optimized, everything about this style was done with loading times in mind. This would be perfect for very large forums that are starting to slow down, or small forums using shared hosting.

THIS DOES INCLUDE TEMPLATE CHANGES!!!

(Ignore the bright green new threads in the navbar, and the black and green user rank images in the postbit pic, they are from my style, and will NOT appear on your forum if you install this style).

Instructions: (also included in zip file)
1) Upload entire folder "simple" to your forum root folder.

2) Import style simple_style.xml (AdminCP>Styles & Templates>Download/Upload Styles>)

Look for hooks that will let you add code to make whateveritis be not called.

Maybe have a look at the 'Dont show Whos Online on Forumhome for Guests' Modification. It uses hooks to not have that part called.

Sorry I can't be clearer.. it's not something I have attempted.

Thank you VERY much for the help you have given me, I will begin searching for that, and when I'm done, I will upload the updated version of this style, and send out an update notification, so click install if you use this, so I can inform you when the new and improved version comes up! Thanks again kall!

Thank you very much! I was searching for the hide whos online hack, but I haven't found it yet... I know it exists though, i've seen it myself!!! I'll just have to play with the advanced search a bit until I get a hold of it!

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