So this is the only question I have for now: is there a way I can have the articles housed in its own directory (i.e. /articles) rather than /forum/articles.php? if possible, I'm assuming I'd have to edit the articles.php file or something?

Thanks!

You might be able to use vbseo to do that. Otherwise I'm not sure.

Looking at the modification, it seems to be putting the correct JS and CSS into the article code. This mod doesn't seem to be parsing correctly when displaying the image - it's not creating the link around the image.

This mod doesnt alter images so it shouldn't be problem. I'll install the image resizer in next few days and see what the problem is.

It's not something i will implement immediately but I will look into in the next week and see how feasible and useful it is.

I need this mod a lot, but I have 3.7.X , this mod is not compatible, right ???

Any other mod similar to this one that is compatible with 3.7.x ?

Thank you!!

Which still doesn't help when trying to get these buttons back at the bottom of the article/thread.

I like the idea of the user info to the right of the article, but the Article Tools links which are placed underneath do not seem to look right...but, hey...that's just me. Same with the Article's rating.

Now...if I can get the user info to the right of the article and my buttons back at the bottom...I'll be a happy camper.

Any suggestions?

The buttons at the bottom of the thread should be displaying in v1.8. Revert the template.

The article tools beneath user info can be disable in vbulletin options

Hooray! That would be fantastic if they did work together.

I found some problem for this modification.

1. article poster Post Count not show / Option in ACP not working display / hidden postcount
2. check box for moving/deleted thread/article poster not available.
3. attachment thumbnail for unregister/guest can't view attachment thumbnail

I hope this problem can fix thanks before. this modification is good idea.

How can I move the contents of the left sidebar to the right sidebar, so that the main (middle) column can be larger/wider?

Thanks.
