A New newthread look!
Version: 1.1
Released: 21 June 2009
Manual Template Edits: [1]
Optional Edits: [1]
This small modification changes the way your newthread template looks, and feels. It compacts the message area, with the additional options area. Sometimes I find my users don't even know those additional options are there, so this makes browsing easier from a users point of view.
[OPTIONAL]
To get the most out of this hack I suggest you install Princeton's GTSmiliebox - Move Smilies Below Editor. Once installed, find the Message Posting Interface Options in the vBulletin options and I suggest changing the Smilebox Total Smilies and Smiliebox Smilies Per Row to 25 for best viewing!
[TEMPLATE EDITS]
Open Style Manager -> xx Your Style Here xx -> Edit Templates -> New Posting Templates -> newthread
REPLACE THE ENTIRE TEMPLATE WITH THE FOLLOWING
[OPTIONAL CHANGE]
Open Style Manager -> xx Your Style Here xx -> StyleVars
CHANGE Message Area Width (pixels) to 600px
That's it! Your NEWTHREAD template now has a fresh look and feel to it! If you have a complex, custom style for a small donation of $5 I can configure this newthread template around your theme. If you would like this please private message me
