vBulletin 4.1.7 was released today and we are now updating our skins.

Visit this link for the Official vBulletin Announcement

New social icons plugin:
We now have a social plugin for our skins so we can add social icons without making any manual template edits. This also means if you have more than 1 skin with us you don't need to edit each skin separately.
Read this thread for more information and installation instructions

vB 4.1.7 completed updates:

• BP-Black, BP-White, BP-Light, BP-Grey, BP-Brown
  
• bTech
  
• Eloquent
  
• Seamus & SeamusLight
  
• BlueSteel
  
• Hazard
  
• Future
  
• Breeze
  
• Darkness
  
• Business
  
• USFTECH

** Updated 18th October 2011

The stylevar called 'imgdir_icons' has been removed from 4.1.7 which means the icons for username and password are not loading because of the wrong image path. This also effects the path of the social icons. I just updated all the skin packages to the new image directory for these images which is now 'imgdir_misc'

For customers who would like to this fix this problem themselves search the 'header' and 'navbar' templates for 'imgdir_icons' and replace it with 'imgdir_misc'

For example change this:

<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/username.png" alt="Username" />

to:

<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/username.png" alt="Username" />

Hey mate, the stylevar is called 'titleimage'

[Sean James]

Rest of our styles which are not listed above will be released today and tomorrow.

The Eloquent package will also be updated to change the links in posts so they stand out better.
SeamusLight will have bug fixes for albums and polls.

[weetabx]

will the future skins be done soon ?

[Sean James]

All skins will be uploaded today including Future.

Hi Sean, any news on Future and BP-Light?

At vB there is a new thread on stylevar changes for 4.1.8, quite interesting but it's looking like a lot of work coming up. Especially for my pretty much customized Future based forum...

[Sean James]

Hey Ceho they were both released this morning.

In 4.1.8?? lol Why dont they leave these huge changes for 4.2.0 they love making it harder for us to update don't they?

[Ricktas]

The BP-Light 4.1.7 skins say 4.1.5 internally - is that right?

vB releases are mainly bug fixes (since 4.1.4)
4.1.6 vB mobile skin only
4.1.7 Bugs (which include some stylevar chages)
4.1.8 Bugs (which include even more stylevar chages) Fix list http://tracker.vbull...requestId=10794
4.1.9 Mobile skin enhancements Fix list http://tracker.vbull...requestId=10815
4.1.10 or 4.2? Who knows?

At least they are telling us the changes in advanced

I imagine 4.2 will have a lot more fixes/changes. Purely guessing.

Hi sean,

I'm currently using the bluesteel. and it's heavily modded for my forum.Can you post the changes made so i can do them manually.I already did the templates..but I'm not sure about the css and in style variables.

thank you

[puertoblack2003]

In bluesteel additional css you have this.

.cms_widget_content_restore_widget_content {
-moz-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background: url("images/Eloquent/misc/blog/gradient-black-down.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0

it should be

.cms_widget_content_restore_widget_content {
-moz-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background: url("images/BlueSteel/misc/blog/gradient-black-down.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0

There was too many changes in this version to simply list a step by step procedure how to update them. I use the compare tool to update the skins for the client area packages but this can be confusing for some people to work out.
Send me a support ticket and I can help you though if you have troubles.
