Shimmer....

[hannay]

Robert - another CLASS skin for SD.

I'm currently using on a test site offline, and using SD 2.3 rc2.

When I add a new catgory that has a parent forum, the main site menu screws up.

Any easy fix to this? (apart from not using child categories!)

just to clarify - i've used 1.0.0 and 1.0.2 versions of shimmer and both have same problem.

Hmm, offline you say. Well, offline more often than not causes problems - however: please post a link to a screenshot or attach one.

It sounds to me though like there could be an issue with the category width - try adjusting the width until they all look right - but that's just a guess.

I&#39;ve upgraded to the latest version of your skin, and tried amending the category widths, but still having problems. This time the menu just disappears when you have sub cats.

I skinned the VB forums and that didnt work well either.

The skin is fine with no sub categories, and no forum skinned though, as are all plugins etc.

I&#39;m currently testing this to see if pro has any advantages over lite for the office - I cannot put the site online unfortunantly :(

Can this skin be used with lite if I go that way?

I attatch 3 images - 1 is NOT sub cats, 2 is with sub cats and 3 is the forum issue

thanks for your help in advance, and sorry i can&#39;t get this online for you to see :(

That&#39;s very a very odd issue. I have&#39;nt had any issues with subcategories, very strange. The vb issue is perplexing.. the fix that was added earlier seemed to fix anyone&#39;s problems.

I&#39;d need to see the example - and possibly look at the server&#39;s behaviour.
sorry.

I have&#39;nt had a report of similiar behaviour, but if there is; I&#39;ll check it out.

Edit: Oh, and hmm.. yes I think it will work with light.

I&#39;m also getting a problem, the top menu isn&#39;t attached to the whole thing when I view the forums.

Look here http://proctoglas.info, click forum.

Hi there, once in a while after a few skinnings, IPB *breaks. In your ipb admin cp, go to look and feel > default skin > and press revert all changes. Select the css, and board header and footer. Afterwards, reskin your forum, and you are set.

Thank you :D

It&#39;s all good now.

Edit: How do I fix the background on the forum? It&#39;s all white, wich isn&#39;t what I want, I want it to be like the subdreamer skin.

[Robert_J_Ellis]

look in look and feel -> default skin -> edit stylesheet (advanced css mode)

find:

body {
background: #ffffff;
}

and get rid of the background colour, image if there is any.

Once again, thank you so much.

[Robert_J_Ellis]

Not a problem :)
