That's ok, I deleted it. I couldn't make it work with my background, to much off center.

Thanks for taking the time building it and, patching it.

Next time if it's one of my styles post the issue in the thread, if you look back at Avenger Blue I helped a few people do some custom stuff to it and I don't mind so long as it's within the styles thread so others can see and gather ideas from it too .

Meh I try, if I had more time or a clone machine I'd be set, wouldn't we all?

Didn't want to bother you with such a trivial matter. I know you put a lot of work into your releases and I didn't want to be a headache

Before I gave up on trying to fix it myself, other than the offset, It was (IMO) the BEST looking gaming style I've seen.

I had put so much time and effort into it but just couldn't get it exactly right with the offset. So, in a moment of frustration, I deleted it

In a few days when I'm done reworking XiTCLUBS's latest style, I'll check out your patched style. I really liked what I did with it.

DISREGARD --- > How / where do I add padding to left side of cms articles?

Update:
The offset is slightly worse, let me explain ... To note* (This is not really noticeable using the style as you have designed it*)

The only way it becomes noticeable is if you do as I have tried to do and use a full image as the background. So, it's really not your problem as much as it is mine. I would not expect you to address my situation as it is not the norm.

Let me explain further so that you will understand how I notice the offset so quickly.

I like to personalize most any fixed style I place on my site. This usually involves changing the background image to accentuate the center of the page, my idea of drawing the eye to the content. Here is what I do:

1. Whatever the width of the style is I'll make a blank (canvas if you will) the same width as the fixed size using my image editor (Paint Shop Pro).
2. To finish out the sides of the background I will add an even amount to each side of the center image (the canvas I spoke of) using a different color or image that matches everything else.

This is how it's so noticeable to me right off the bat. If it were centered, all the content would be inside the "canvas".

Does any of this make sense?

SO, as you can see, it's really just my problem. Your style looks really nice the way it is. It's just not one I can alter the background on as I like to do.

I'm sorry for being such a pain

If you will make me a temp admin account w/ access to modify styles only nothing else and pm me the details I'll fix er' up in a hit & run style fashion (lol) then you can delete the admin account, lemme know .

Thanks Mike,

Help me figure something out .... exactly what time did you do your last file update for this style?

The style is now centered. I tinkered with it during the early morning hours between about 1-6 am today. During that time I at some point tried for the 2nd or 3rd time downloading and uploading your style's xml. I don't know whether it was myself or you that fixed it.

Here is what it looks like now.

I created you an account which I will leave active.
User:Michael
Pass: I'll pm it to you

btw, the style is no where near finished so what you see is just the beginning of the project.

It was after you reported the missing you know what lol, I went back and found I had included the version without the link etc.

Now that I think about it, I believe the one I re-uploaded in the zip had a few more misc updates than the one taken from my live site (one was on live site the other localhost the entire time) and I bet that's what threw you off, sorry about that! One should also have some shading under the navigation tab font and two corners, when you see that you know it's the most current version .

Everything is looking good now. I decided that rather than make it a gaming style, I would tweak the graphics to represent my main style (Amateur Radio related). I've got just a few more tweaks and it will be my default style.

Really looking good and almost finished
Thanks for another great product and, thanks for being so supportive and patient.

Hi Michael,

I think the style is stunning and perfect for what i was looking, the only very slight issue i have come across is using the fluid style on larger resolutions (ie) 29" 2560 x 1080 display

The forum category where it say thread/posts and last post gets miss-aligned but on iphones, ipads and smaller screens it's perfect.

No panic if i can't alter it, but just thought i might bring it to your attention

Iv'e added a screen shot

Many thanks

I just imported this into a new clients 4.2.2 pl1 and sure enough looks like you jinxed me Force jk jk but now I C what you mean it didn't import any stylevars nor the modified templates and additional.css was completely empty... is that what you were referring to? I'm trying to figure out why this 4.2.2 site and not others in the past.

K will see what I can do, might just increase the image size or set to repeat.

Ok Force for some odd reason on the 4.2.2 I was on, if you imported the CMS and Blog style .xml files (and chose to overwrite) it set the style back to default so only import the forum.xml style file and check, let me know if that sorted it so I can determine if this is a bug or not and submit to the tracker - thanks!

Sorry I can't test this for you I can give you access to all my stuff and you can test it if you want. I removed it as it was not working, but this was before the heart attack. I would love to get this working on my forums as I love the style, but it's too much for me to do now so posting and answering some questions for now is the best I can do.

I saw your post regarding that and I'm sorry to hear you went through one, I hope you're back to feeling like 100% ASAP!!!!!!!

When I have some spare time I might just ask for login to test but I believe, cannot confirm yet that it's a random/intermittent bug with vB4 as it does not happen with all 4.2.2 sites but let me verify on that last site because I have it working now but the past few nights I can't tell you how I fixed what, that many issues have arose I've had to fix it's been some long nights.

Looks great man! Now if only I understood remotely how to make the Suite part look decent. :P

I just checked out your site. I've been a gamer for over 20 years. I've built, helped build, moderator-ed, and been a member of gaming clans during that time.

Your gaming site is absolutely the VERY best I've ever seen! So, you must be doing something right

I really do think your design has set a standard for a gaming site that would be VERY hard to beat. Judging by what I saw here.

Who is your designer?
