You need to edit the table header and category CSS definitions in the style manager.
If I go to the Style manager and bring up the 'Main CSS' the correct paths are already in there for the table header and category strips, and it works fine in the Forum pages. That is why I was asking if there is another place to edit these for the Vbindex page? Please excuse me if I'm missing something here.
There should only be the one place where they are defined, see the attached screenshot, I'm not sure if you edited the right part or not. The bit highlighted in the red block need the URL to be changed to http://www.mydomain.com/forum/images or /forum/images for example.

If UPGRADING I recommend deleting all your old vBindex templates before upgrading as I've made changes to ensure you won't lose templates with future upgrades. The query bellow will delete all templates starting with vbindex.
[sql]DELETE FROM template WHERE title like ('vbindex%');[/sql]

NTLDR i messed up when i installed it how would i completely uninstall it to reinstall it ??? is there an uninstall script ?
You'll need to reverse all the queries found in the install files. I doubt you have messed it up enough to need to uninstall to re-install though. An uninstaller is planned for the final version.
ok thanx alot i will change the quierys and reinstall also on a personal note this is an awesome portal but what new changes will be in the final release or future upgrades ?
There should only be the one place where they are defined, see the attached screenshot, I'm not sure if you edited the right part or not. The bit highlighted in the red block need the URL to be changed to http://www.mydomain.com/forum/images or /forum/images for example.
That's what I had edited when trying some different gradient .gif files, and they did appear properly at the Forum page but have never made it to the Vbindex page.
But just now I added the complete url (http://mydomain.com/forum/images/gradients/etc' and it is working fine. I was using the default 'images/gradients/__.gif'
Thanks for the help.
