After reworking the development forums locally I think I have worked a few kinks out of the Vega Strike style though I have not yet fixed the annoying issue of ads showing up above the topic. In prosilver, the ads show up correctly under the first and last post (if more than 3 posts). This is partly why I want to do away with our current VS style for something based on prosilver SE.

Getting any new mod that changes the frontend to work with subsilver2 based styles (vega strike) is a real chore. If anyone would like to see what most of the new proposed mods do you can head over to the phpbb modification db and look them up. Also while you are there take a look at the smilies. I have been hunting around for some new smilies Found some, just haven't added them in yet. Thats it for now, gotta get back to work on tinkering with the forums locally

Prosilver SE looks very clean Should be quite suitable for our needs and if the background color is changeable and we can add the art that was developed for the VS style be a shame to drop it all.

Enjoy the Choice

Yeah, I wanted to try and keep the images and as much of the look as possible. Just need to learn how to do it.

Have a look at that phpbb modification db on the first page Custom Header Logo should do as a start will be looking through for some more nuggets 50 pages worth may take awhile Just checked which version it's for only for 3.0.10,3.0.4 and 3.0.2 we are running 3.0.9 so an update may be in order again

Enjoy the Choice

I can check it out but it didn't look interesting based off the screenie

The add homepage link thingy will be abused insanely by spambots - I'd leave it out.

I must say.. I thought the stupid last topic titles would work now

try try again...

Found the problem... due to permission changes with the web files I cannot update some of the files... so www2 I need to be able to update the sites files! For whatever reason I get denied in /styles/prosilver/templates when I try to overwrite what I need to.
