"Shiny Beige" features:

• separated/spaced forum categories
• XHTML 1.0 Transitional
• 90% original images
• Another little feature or two that you'll have to discover for yourself

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. I do suggest moving the zip after installation to a folder on your computer so you have it as a back-up - just in case ).
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 beige folder via FTP to the styles folder that you created, so that your image path is images/styles/beige/buttons, for example.
4. After you've uploaded the images, 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 beige-style.xml file, and double-click it so that it loads in that box, then hit the Import button.
6. Don't forget to click on Mark as Installed, if you use this style.

If you have any questions or run into a snag, feel free to post your question here, or at my site.

Enjoy!


Note: It's been brought to my attention that clicking on 'Go Advanced' on the Quick Reply editor brought up a security token error. I have located and fixed the problem, and placed a new xml file in the download zip package.

If you're experiencing this issue, please download the zip again and re-import the xml file, overwriting the existing xml.

Thanks!

quick question though, the postbit legacy style of posting (i.e. showing the posters biodata on the left) could it be brought to normal as in default vbulletin style? cause i like it on top rather than having it on the left or the right side

You can try and see what it looks like. I prefer and use postbit legacy, so most of my styles are optimized for postbit legacy.

No apologies or thanks needed. That's something I should have changed before I download the xml.

hello there ohio, i have downloaded and installed this style.

i have 1 question and 1 REQUEST.

Question:
All the links to images, icons are broken when i displayed this style. although i followed the instructions as to where to put the folder, yet the links are broken. can you please tell me where to copy the icon folders because i dont know (since i am new and dont have much knowledgE).

Request:
Can you please tell me the codes and where to edit those codes so that my posters have a normal postbit? i would really really be grateful for your help ma'am.

Thank you.

[Ohiosweetheart]

By 'normal' postbit, I'm assuming you're talking about the profile info on top of the post? I'm not sure how this style is going to look, as it is optimized for postbit legacy. But you can give it a try.

Go to vBulletin Options, Styles & Language settings, Use Legacy (Vertical) postbit Template > click No, and save.

As for your images, if they're not showing up, then you didn't upload them correctly. Be sure that you created the styles folder inside of your forums' images folder, and that the beige folder was uploaded into the styles folder.

oh i see.......i did have a style folder in my images folder but maybe i got confused and made a styles folder in the root of the forum directory. i shall go back and change it accordingly and if there are other problems, i shall contact you again

thank you for your wonderful support

[Nadeemjp]
