    *Reported to work fine on 4.1.5 and 4.1.6 - 4.1.7 should be fine as well, it's only a simple style install, if it does not work simply delete .
  • Perfect style for resolutions up to 1920 x 1080!

Questions and Answers

Q. So what do we have here?
A. Well that's simple! It's a dark blue style for vBulletin 4.1.4 Suite (or Forum Classic).

Q. Anything in particular that I need to know about this style?
A. Simple - I don't advertise a lot, there are no advertisements shown when I make styles however I do know due to the centering of the logo, if you currently utilize the header ad locations you'll need to make changes if utilizing this style otherwise it will not display properly. *Fix planned for the 4.1.5 version and I'll patch this 4.1.4 version then as well, basically I'll be moving the header ad locations just above the normal below navbar locations to remedy this .

Q. The style has shifted after I changed the logo... how do I fix this? *Versions 4.1.7 and below!
A. If you have a issue w/ the header i.e. you placed a much larger or smaller logo than the one included it will "shift" the style in a sense, to fix this edit vbulletin-chrome.css and find:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

Adjust the min-height to suit:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Q. I don't like the bright blue Sticky thread background color - How can I change this?
A. AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Avenger Blue > Stylevars

Find the stylevar under Threadbit w/ the name threadbit_hilite_background

Change the background color from #1c4494 to the color of your choice .

Q. This is 4.1.4 style why did you not release a 4.1.5 version and will you release and keep this updated unlike other styles on here?
A. Yes, unlike some other styles in the past I've released this is branded by our company and we do plan on supporting this style indefinitely.

Q. I see two different downloads available, which one do I use?
A. Simple:

- For vBulletin 4.1.4 through 4.1.7 use the file titled - Innovation_by_Instinct-Avenger_Blue-Compressed.zip
- For vBulletin 4.1.8 use the file titled - Innovation_by_Instinct-Avenger_Blue-vB4.1.8-Compressed.zip

Q. I'm using a version for vBulletin 4.1.8 or up, why is the logo not clickable?
A. Well we have navtabs w/ a Home, Forum, and Blog button so why do we need more and more of the same links? Well I know some prefer it so here is a way to make it clickable:

You can utilize the transparent 1x1px transparent image to make the logo clickable again. *Please note this is not a default feature, to make the logo clickable you must edit template header and find:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Remove the <comment> codes as shown in red:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This is how the code should now look:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

*If you use a different logo than the stock "Avenger Blue" and your making it clickable via the method above, please change the width="#" and height="#" to the correct values i.e. the same width and height as your new logo .

Q. Why is there a .zip inside the .zip?
A. Well the forums here have a max of 3.0MB file size limit on .zip files so I made it a .zip then added that one into another .zip, this reduced the file size from the 3.17MB down to 2.69MB! Now simply extract the main -Compressed .zip then extract the inside Innovation_by_Instinct-Avenger_Blue.zip and your ready to rock and roll!

Q. You have a link to your site in the footer, can I remove that?
A. You are not allowed to remove the link to our site i.e. "branding" unless you pay for a "Branding Free Version", please submit a email to services[at]innovationbyinstinct.com if you are interested in removing branding. *Furthermore, we will not host discussions nor reply to any sort of inquiries on here in regards to paid or branding free versions so please do not bring up the subject of either in this thread.

*Click on the images below to view in a new tab/window, once in said window you can click the image again to zoom once more and see it clearer, providing a more accurate representation of the style .

Notes & Update Information can be found here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...82&postcount=2

*IMPORTANT*

To install the 4.1.8 Version:

1) Upload the contents of the UPLOAD Folder.
2) If for example you want the Fixed style installed then import the file:
*Please note, if you do not use the vBulletin Suite and have the Forum Classic version you only need to install the file vbulletin-style_Avenger_Blue_Fixed-Forum.xml.
a) Import the vbulletin-style_Avenger_Blue_Fixed-Forum.xml file first.
b) Merge in the vbulletin-style_Avenger_Blue_Fixed-CMS.xml (Options when uploading a style allow you to merge into a existing style, choose to merge this into the new style you just created using the Forum.xml.
c) Merge in the vbulletin-style_Avenger_Blue_Fixed-Blog.xml into the style, this has now updated the style for all three major products and the installation is complete!
3) Enjoy!

Does it work for vB 4.0.x? I'm confused by the big Support box (which states vB 3.6 / 3.8 / 4.1.5). I'm using vB 4.0.1

Thanks!

Sad!
The LastSuperman doesn't even bother to answer. Very unlikely of him. Why don't you just give us clear answer so we know what to do with our boards. As I said, I am waiting to upgrade to ver 4.2 but I am not doing it because I am waiting for your style. So, please don't go just silent on us.

The style is free. What more could you expect for a free style? He obviously has no further interest in supporting this style or, maybe he has more important things to do? Such as, I don't know, maybe a family to support or God forbid a life that does not consist entirely of internet related matters? I'm sure when he wants to he will update this style. In the meantime may I suggest you guys divorce this style for a while and do as I have and find something else to worry about. Like maybe..... read a book or go fishing?

oh... is that the bests you could come up with? fishing? i wasn't disrespectful, i (we) just need to know if there is any solid roadmap avail. even if something is free, the more followers it has, the greater is responsibility...

i won't go further in to the details as anyone can read the whole story. i salute to all coders who do their work for free BUT as i said. if i knew months ago that author won't have time to code it, i would be thankful, switch the theme and no more whining...

No roadmap besides "When I have time, I will update it because many like this style" and yes I've said it many times but something more important keeps coming up respectively.

Busy atm, 5 birthdays in the immediate family this month alone including my wife and two of my children so working for money and nothing more currently to make those kiddos happy and spoiled! No desire to even touch this style again until the first of next month.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS STYLE UNLESS YOUR RUNNING vBulletin 4.1.8 OR Below. If your waiting for a update please pick another style as your primary, this can certainly be a option for a alternative style however based on updates it's not advised to be used as a primary currently.

I think you guys need to forget about this style. TheLastSuperman has long abandoned this project. He has had something else to do for awhile.

We kinda know now that he did abandon the theme. After promises that he will do it, he ducked. Anyway. I have not updated my board, I keep this skin, and will wait for gold release for ver 5.0 then I will upgrade and will forget about this one.
