Mods for this forum

So far, all I've done is a basic vbulletin install wrapped in my template. I've done a lot more work for my other forum, and prior to upgrading that one, I figured I would install the same set of plugins over here, style it appropriately, and that way I could more easily migrate.

First up, Advance Sticky Options.

Time Started 1:06

Time Installed 1:09

Simple plugin upload, file upload, and 1 template edit.

I used the sticky options on this thread. It should auto-unstick itself sometime on February 21st.

Next up, Alternating Row Color for ForumBits

This is actually one that I wrote. It's a lot of template edits, so I expect it will take a little while. Fortunately, I wrote a nice document that lays everything out nicely.

start time:
1:20

Found a change to the install instructions:
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
1) On the very first line, change

     <tr align="center">

to

     <tr  align="center" class="$rowClass">

Found another change to the install instructions:
memberlist_resultsbit
2) Find all ' AND exec_switch_bg()' and remove

End Time: 1:40
