Boomer, I am pretty much finished with this. Anything else that needs to be changed can be done by the end user.

I am going to send you a dload link for the template. DO NOT give this to anyone untill it has gotten an OK from the original author. Inform him of the dload link and give him the URL to the test forum so he can view it. Test Board After he approves it, start a new thread here and include the download link so others can access it.

qersys...it looks awesome

I've contacted Jakob to get his final nod and I'll let you know just as soon as I hear from him.

Question... how do you modify elements called by the <yabb thingy> tags? I noticed that you are using the .png buttons and mine seems to want to default to the .gif files. It appears to be controlled by the <yabb menu> tag and I want to cahnge it.

this is the problem. In order to use custom buttons with a template you must replace the default button set. If you do that all your templates will have to use the new button set. there is no way to have different buttons with different templates. Maybe someone could write a mod for this?

Anyhow, replace the images in "buttons/english" with the ones I sent in the zip file. Or you will have to use text buttons.

If you replace the images be sure to reload the page "shift+reload".

Hope this is what you were talking about...

Boomer Bloody Novice Offline Posts: 46	Reply #35 - 03.04.06 at 16:45:37 Yeah... I was afraid of that No worries, once we get approval I'm going to make this the default template anyway. I'll deal with the text buttons until then. But I can see how that little "feature" might lead to some frustration with forums that like to provide their users with a lot of options...
