Vbulliten SKinning Help

I have 2 questions, i would like to know how you got the post bit to look like it does here at talk freelance, maybe you could post the code or point me in the right direction.

Also which template does the status icons which would be displated at the bottom of the page be in as i see you have removed them from this skin.

Thanks
Richard

For the vertical (legacy) postbit go to your Admin Panel, check:
vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Style & Language Settings
---
To change the status icons at the bottom you will have to go to the templates of your skin in the Admin Panel, check:
Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates (from the dropdown next to your skin's name) > Forum Home Templates > FORUMHOME
---
When you're there just take out all the code, insert it in an editor like Notepad or something else, search for '<!-- icons and login code -->' and edit/delete the code below.

Only con of the legacy post bit is, it will be like that on all your skins, if you don't want that, just go to:
Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates (from the dropdown next to your skin's name) > Postbit Templates > postbit_legacy
and copy it to:
Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates (from the dropdown next to your skin's name) > Postbit Templates > postbit

Hope that helped.

The code i have their now is this

Will this affect the working of the forum at all or anything?

Use this, I got rid of the <td> tags (which are table columns, but you removed the table) and I used <div> tags instead:

Thanks Bas! I have another problem, if you look at my site i can seem to figure out where to change the background for the bar that has the user CP link and search link etc on?

Thanks for the info

That CSS class is called 'vbmenu_control', you probably know how to change that in your Styles panel (just go to 'Main CSS' in the dropdown), right?

That would also change the styles on the right part of your category header, where it says 'Forum Tools' on the threadbit and 'Thread Tools' on the postbit.

Thanks Bas

Is their any way in the Vbulliten templates to add two boxed below the header as shown here.



If so what would be the HTML code i would need, also could i use a css file to define the colours of these box's and call it in the template.

Cheers
