Read VVVVV

I've installed it on a 3.6.1 forum and am experimenting with it now. Seems to work fine. Since this 'skin' is basically a skin stripped of graphics and other goodies, I'd expect it to require little tweaking except when vBulletin undergoes a substantial code change.

I think that's intentional, actually. I made a number of tweaks to the template myself, just based on having different aesthetic preferences.

• Added in "New Posts" (getnew) "Latest Posts" (getdaily) and "Search" links to the logged-in header (after the PM notice).
• Removed the "Thread/Thread Starter," "Last Post," and other column headers (which didn't seem to connect to anything and took up a lot of space).
• In the search template (such as "Latest Posts"), instead of "Username) Thread Title" I used "-Thread Title (Username)" and changed the username from the thread starter to the latest poster.
• Put a link next to the header/forum title to switch back to the "Full" version (i.e. normal skin).

I haven't been able to get the moderation features to work, and the PM interface and advanced search screen aren't "scaled down," so that may be what was affected in the upgrade from 3.0.x to 3.5.x, but to browse and get around, it's great.

Should work okay according to that but not perfect.

Is the creator ever going to update this style for newer versions?

[Steve Machol]

I doubt it since he has beeen gone for a long time.

[TheOverclocked]

I just run this one myself

Works pretty good

I've had quite a few people PM me about this style in 3.5.3, but like Silver_2000 said you shouldn't have any problems just installing it. I'm going to go ahead and post my 3.5.3 style for those who may be having other problems. See it in action here.

Wow, I was editing the other then saw your post, thanks for saving me time!!!

[94civicEX]

I just installed it on 3.5.4 and it works fine.

Also for everyone who want browser autodetection and dont want to modify vBulletin scripts - here is instruction how to add autodetect plugin (thanks to vBulletin team for hooks):

1. Go to admin area "Plugin System/Add new plugin"

2. Fill in form here:
- Product: "vBulletin"
- Hook location: style_fetch
- title: "WAP auto detect" or whatever sounds good for you
- PHP code:



Enable plugin and enjoy

Works perfectly. I wonder where this guy compiled his Mobile Browser list?

I looked at the couple sites posted here using this style, and including mine, when viewing from my blackberry, the "old" and "new" tags show up as a 100% and takes a whole line by itself, then the forum name shows up underneath it, instead of showing old as a small square, then the forum name.

Any ideas?

on many BBs there are 2 or 3 browsers with different features etc
Did you try the others ?

[MotoUp]

Yeah, I tried all the emulation modes, and all the settings. So does it show normally on Windows devices then?

Has anyone noticed that you can only type about 30 or so characters and then you get an exception fault in the browers? I used the other mobile style that I was originally using, and it works just fine.

[SaN-DeeP]

Does someone has a working version of this style for Vbulletin 3.6.x series ?
Kindly/Please share the same .
