Style Name: Steel Blue for vB 3.6.1/2/3/4/5/6/7
Style Version: 3.6.7

Features:

• Forum Status Icons Horizontal

• Custom statusicon, buttons and several misc images
• Some SEO elements (from T2Dman's most excellent seo vBulletin hack.) in the navbar.

I will NOT provide support for the removal of features of this style. If you want to remove things, look in the relevant templates and remove them.

Customised statusicon, buttons/misc and gradients folders included.

***Additional Instructions***

vBAdvanced Users: Put nzb_greeting and nzb_greeting2 in the globalized variables section of your vBA AdminCP - Default Settings.

To change the 'Launch date' ticker on Forum Home

Look in the FORUMHOME template, near the bottom. There is a start date field.

PHP Code:

setcountup(2005,10,03) 


Change the date in YYYY,MM,DD format.

To change the greetings that appear in the navbar,

Have a look in your Steel Style - Navbar Greeting plugin.

To have the Forum images show up for selected forums

Go into your forumhome_forumbit_level*_post templates (both level1 and level2) and look for the condtitional that reads:

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(4,999)"> 


Change these ids to the forumids of the Forums you want to display images for. (These images are not supplied. 4.gif is an example. You must make your own images.)

Further on in the same template is this conditional:

PHP Code:

<if condition="!in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(1,3,4,8))"> 


The array contains those Usergroup ids that we do NOT want to see the Start New Thread button.

Oh, and it's XHTML Compliant. And the CSS is compliant too.

Any Update for 3.6.8

[Red-White]

Good morning to all you...i installed this style to a 3.6.8 vbulletin forum and i have the same problem other friends are experiencing as well!

The welcome X user is missing!

Is there any chance to have a fix for this problem?

[FireFish]

Any Steel Blue updates for 3.7.0?? I'm anxious & operating on a backup half-functioning template at this times.

nice style thanks..

I am certainly no expert on vbulletin or styles; however, I updated my own version of steelblue to look pretty good and work pretty well with 3.8.1.

I did the 'download' style using the default settings and attached it to this posting. Hopefully that will provide the things you all need to update to 3.8

EDIT:
------
After posting this I realized that I'm not 100% sure that the steelblue that I have on my site is the same one that was originally on this thread (although I THINK it is) ...so, be sure to at least look at the front page of my forums to see that it matches what you have before updating.
