makes it ready to be used for ANY of your styles. This
"Basic"-edition is ready for 5 add-ons which are used
the most when creating a vBulletin style. Read these

Yes,
I am aware there have already been a few releases of this same hack, but they all seem to have a few issues - like the lines in the top, or alignment problems, or whatever. And, I have been receiving A LOT of PM's and Emails to PLlllleeAsE release my own version.

So this is the version I made for creations.nl way back months ago when I first installed vbulletin beta 2, when i was in the private beta test team.

And today I tweaked it up and made a installation file so everybody could understand how to do this properly.

ENJOY

I am glad to hear that you like it. I have done my best to make it work in as many browsers as possible and totally integrated with version 3. And to keep it simple and easy so it is ready for future add-ons.

Going to install this, has a few different affects from the ones already released.

Xiphoid, excellent work! The instructions are very lucid! Thanks!

The first add-on has been released.
a unique news/announcement box on the top of the other forums, controllable through the admin control panel, and custom designed through existing templates by the purdy use of conditionals.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
