Do you have any idea when you will develop or convert the current skins to phpbb3.

I asked about the skin Sophist many months ago and they said this would take place.

Thanks

A Web 2.0 inspired skin has been added to the shelves. You can see a demo below or hit the store to buy it.

I have some big news for vbstyles, in the past month i have been lurking in the background organising for the future of vbstyles…

I have just finished dealing with tons of paperwork and legal document in anticipation of our website expansion.

I’m not allowed to disclose full details as yet…….

Is Article Bot the only way to get vBulletin to take an Atom feed? Does it actually do that? I’m a little unclear as to whether Article Bot is actually doing anything with the feeds or just allowing a user name and other management purposes…

I’m trying to get vBulletin to read feeds from Bugzilla and the only default feed I see with Bugzilla so far is Atom, which I am reading so far, is unacceptable to vBulletin?

Both sites are internal.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post looking for help, but I’m unsure as to how to go about this problem… Thanks very much for any heads up’s…
