A few more questions.

[LuckyGuess]

1) How would I go about adding two borders on the left and right side of my forum? Something like this:

2) When I look at my index page, all the threads in the "last post" area are different sizes on a certain skin. How can I make them so all of them line up and are the same size? It currently looks like this:

3) I don't want anything on my forum to be underlined except links. I set it like this to remove all underlines but now links are all black with no underlines too.

Thanks in advance for the help!

i.e. Attach Image 800px(w)x2px(h)

1. Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> All Style Options -> Common Templates
   # template: header
   # add this code in next new line above
   

   [B][COLOR="Red"]<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">

   Body -> Standard CSS Attributes -> Background -> #E1E1E2 url(images/bg.gif) repeat-y center;
   [BPage Background -> Standard CSS Attributes -> Background ->[/B] url(images/bg.gif) repeat-y center;
2. How To Change the Width of the Forum List Columns columns have to equal 100%, but the option to trunacate 'Last Post' will override any edit settings and that includes title(s) of each column.
   Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listings Display Options ->
   Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters [30] Default
   This value will chop the title of the last thread posted down to a specific number of characters for its display on a forum listing.
   
   A value of 0 will not trim the titles at all.
3. Possible due to Font(s) in Normal and Hover links beening #000000 = Black

1. This is the skin I'm trying to produce:

http://i16.tinypic.com/6he4wnd.png

I would like the blue background as well but the images/bg.gif is in the body background spot too, how can I use both? Same goes for the page background, I'd like it as well as the images/bg.gif part too.

Is it also possible to move the border about 9px over so that it'll be right against the banner? I quickly tried it out on a new skin and this is what I have so far:

Thanks for the reply!

Pardon, but you are asking questions that go beyond vBulletin default functions. If you require custom coding of style, then place your questions over at www.vBulletin.org Design and Graphics Discussions . You can try adding padding or float it and like to help more, but I get bombarded with private messages and requset to msn.

I followed this guide on adding a border but it put a 6px border around all the forums too (as well as around the outside of my forum which I wanted). Is there any way to remove all the thick borders on the inside (I only want those to be 1px) and have the outsides 6px?

Currently looks like this, I want the borders that the arrows are pointing to to be 1px:

In Main Cascading Style Sheeting (CSS)
Table Border -> Extra CSS Attributes -> border: 1px solid #000000;

[LuckyGuess]

This will add a border of the same thickness and color as defined by your tborder CSS class.

Where do I put this colour and thickness? I had it in extra CSS attributes but just replaced with the border: 1px solid.
