PREVIEW

Installation Instructions -

1. Click on the "Install" button on the right of this post, then 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 redbox folder via FTP to your server, into the styles folder, so that your image path is images/styles/redbox/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 redbox-style.xml, and double-click it, so it loads in that box, then hit the Import button.

You'll find a blank images folder in the zip file, containing blank buttons and the logo for the header, all in PNG format for easy editing.

If you would like this style customized for your forum, please read here.

NOTES: Don't forget to replace the Google Adsense code with your own. You'll find it in the navbar template, in the breadcrumb code.

The side column code is in the the FORUMHOME template, and clearly marked.
I have placed our affiliates ads and our partner links on the demo so that you can see how it looks. When you install this style, you'll see "Text Goes Here".

You also have alot of space to the right of the logo, in the header template, to place banner ads.

Enjoy!

The navigation bar is at the top of the header template in this style, so you'll have to add the link manually.

Thanks for the compliments, and don't forget to mark Installed

I use Cybernetec's Subforum Manager. You can set it to 2 or 3 columns, I think.

as for the arcade link, it should look something like this -

<td class="thead"><a href="http://www.vlaero.com.au/arcade.php" accesskey="5">Arcade</a></td>

You are a legend the forum looks and works great i think its time to get some members. Email me a web banner 480 x 60 and i'll add it to the site for you.
