no no its ok man!

so you had permission? from qersys ? right?

just as long as it looks like it did for YaBB 2.1 ?

has to be the same colours and dark etc? also what changes are you making? and i hope this is for the old style YaBB 2.1 template not the Forum Default one right?

Thats what i need you see, i dont like the forum default so im using a "temp" layout on my forum which is YaBB 2.1 with a few edited colours, but the thing im after is dark shadows for YaBB 2.4 fully compatible and no errors etc  :smiley2:

I, assume you have a YaBB 2.4 test board correct ? can you show me a preview once its done so i know what to expect ?

THANK YOU !! i cannot wait !!

Yep, I've had permission off qersys and LWS.

It is based on the 2.1 template but I am making some layout changes though - the colours will be the same.

Check out the image for a quick preview, it should give you a rough idea of what I'm doing:

I was planning on the banner being in the center, but I can position it to the left if you want me to, what do you think?

As for the images, you'll have to change that yourself - in 'Template Configuration' you'll have the option of 'Icon + Text', 'Buttons Only' or 'Text Only'...

well i would really like the banner on the left if you can? and its 448 x 100 yes? because thats the size of the banner im using now Smiley

and is the hex color at the top part just standard black yes? because i am working on a new forum banner and the backgorund is black so

so it should be the same  hex/black yes?


as for images? yes i know how to add them simple replace them in the FTP etc no worries


looking forward to this man and it means a lot!!! so this is a fully YaBB 2.4 theme yes? Smiley

Okay, I'll put the banner to the left then. And, yes, it will be the correct size.

Yep - standard black.

You won't have to FTP anything - just change the option in Admin Center. I'll run you through it when it's finished.

Yep - fully 2.4 compatible.



I'll hopefully have it all finished at some point over the next couple of weeks. Apologies if this sounds like a long time, but there is quite a bit of work to do and my OCD can kick in when it comes to templates. Wink

I think I've about about finished then unless you want anything major changing. There are a couple of layout changes, I guess it's somewhere between the old YaBB 1 version and the 2.1 version - I just wanted it to look a little 'newer' really - same colours though.

Because you want to use the Icon + Text menu style it means that I can't replace the login.gif image for the login area on the Board Index, but I guess it's not really that important.

Anyhow, if you want to check it out and let me know what you think, I'll zip it up if you're happy with it...

You can test it here:

I'll get rid of them then if you want, it's no problem - I just thought I'd throw it in.

Not too sure what you mean, I can see them - see the attached image - what browser are you using?

In Admin Center - Forum Settings - Members - Registration - I have 'Pre-registration with Email membership activation' selected and 'Email Random Password to New Member Upon Registration?' unchecked...

What version of IE is it?

It's okay for me in IE7, but I work on a Mac - my PC is absolutely awful - not too sure if I can update...
