For Metro version 3.3 I don’t need to use vbulletin, right?
Im using v3.3. I really want to change the header to an image instead of the blue bar header. Where do I go for this? I think it’s bg_header.gif.
I’m also wondering what the main differences are with using v4 or higher with vbulletin vs 3.3 without vbulletin?

Sure, if you’re using phpBB.

You need to find the following rule inside the “metro.css” style sheet and add your background – ”.page-header-metro .navbar .nav-main-metro-tabs”.

You’re not using it “without vbulletin”. You’re using it either with vBullein or with phpBB. We don’t have a standalone html-version of Metro.
Does your templateset for 3.2.x work in a 3.3 install or is it better to wait for the new 3.3 version of Metro?
Hello,
The 3.3 Metro version has just been submitted for review. As soon as it’s approved, you’ll get an email notification!
Awesome, thanx! I just downloaded it. 
Will Metro be updated to phpBB 3.3 soon?
Hello,
We are planning to release it one of these days!
Hi there
I’ve added my own logo as per the directions. However, it does not resize properly on mobile. Is there a particular trick to that?
Thanks!
Hello,
Is your logo too wide on mobile screens? i think you need to use css media queries to fix. Maybe it would be even reasonable to create a mobile logo version. In this case you may use this tutorial – https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2270871
Hi. I upgrade my MetroTeal Theme with the latest version. But now, the login box does not work… (does not appear when i click on it). PhpBB version : 3.2.6 Php 7.2 Do you have a solution for me ? (solutions in this page does not work for me…)
Hello,
You need to update your phpBB to the latest version, it’s 3.2.8 at the moment. phpBB 3.2.6 has some limitations which don’t allow to use the login box on any other pages except the main one.
Hello… love this theme but a couple of questions:
1. I loaded the theme and made it the default style… it looks great on the forums index page, but the other forum pages are still displaying in prosilver. What am I missing?
2. I followed the phpbb board instructions for how to change the logo from metro to our png; it took away the metro but it isn’t displaying our logo. Tried two different logo images. Any suggestions?
3. Is there an easy way to move avatars from the right side to the left side of the post text? I think it was that way in the demo version I saw.
Appreciate the support, thanks.
Hello,
Thank you for your kind words and interest to your work!
1. Please check the forum categories settings. It looks like the default theme is set as a main theme to all the subforums.
2. Double-check the file location. The main reason for such issues is wrong files placement.
3. This steps should help you – https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=14857856#p14857856 (sure, you need to apply it to your Quarto theme, not to the “prosilver”).
And feel free to contact us if you still have any issues or need any assistance!
I did get the Avatar moved and realized my mistake about the individual forums, thanks. But logo is still not appearing on the navbar, even though it does seem to be pointing to the correct file location. Is it possible .png doesn’t work? Or that I am changing the wrong file/in the wrong place? I changed inside the parenthetical where it used to say “site_logo.gif”.
/* Global imageset items */ .imageset.site_logo { background-image: url(”./images/SteelerFury_black.png”); padding-left: 125px; padding-top: 34px;
FYI, I tried converting my .png into a .gif, then changed it back to the original “site_logo.gif”... neither showed a logo.
Hello,
Could you please contact us via our profile page and send a link to your forum? I need to have a look at the forum’s code.
Hello, I still have a connection error with the popup login with the last update! When will this fix, I cannot update my forum. Is there a bypass?
Hello,
Could you please double-check the Metro version you’re using?
Hi, I resend all the files, empty the cache, deactivate my opcache and I still have an error to login with the popup but not with the normal form. What can I check to verify that the popup should work? style_version = 3.0.11 phpbb_version = 3.2.7
Could you please contact us via our profile page and send a link to your forum? We also need test credentials to check the issue.
Done thx
Why Metro has not been upgraded to 3.2.7 yet?
Hello,
We are planning to release the updated versions one of these days!
I have the same issue. The form is working fine but the popup login is not working. I inspected the code and it seems the form token is not rendered.
To reproduce: go to the index.php, click login and inspect the code of the login buttons element. You will find a creation-time and form token here. On ths page logging in using the popup works.
Now click login on the search page and inspect the buttons again: the form_token and creation-time elements are gone. If you try to login here, the invalid form error appears.
I think I found the problem: phpBB is only rendering the form token on the ucp.php?mode=login and the index.php. On all the other pages the form token is empty because there is no token generated by phpBB itself so there is nothing to render.
Bugreport: https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-16054
Hopefully this is fixed in 3.2.8.
For a quick fix for now, see: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=556&t=2511281
Hello,
Yes, you’re quite right. The problem is phpBB doesn’t provide the new login token for all the pages. And I don’t think phpBB guys would add it globally – they only support the default “prosilver” theme.
Yes, we can create an extension that will add the token globally but I don’t think it’s reasonable to create such an extension for just one theme feature. We have some plans on adding a theme panel to our themes. In this case we will add the feature to the panel without any doubt. But now I think we’ll just fall back and disable the popup login for all the pages except the main page.
@PixelGoose: maybe it’s good to wait to see what happens with the bugreport. If it is fixed in 3.2.8 you don’t have to change your templates.
Ps. the fix I was referring to is not to create an extension but this one: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=556&t=2511281#p15254546 Add 1 line of code to the page header code and you should be good.
Yes, I also think the better way would be just to wait a little. I’ll check the bug report to see what phpBB guys are going to do with the issue.
Hello, a new version 3.2.7 of phpBB is available since yesterday which introduce a login error in the login box popup of metro theme. This problem was fixed the last theme version + phpBB 3.2.6, and appear again.

Hi, after updating to 3.2.6 I have problems with login popup window: everytime I try to login I get the message “The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again”. If I try to login via the /ucp.php?mode=login page, it works. So I guess it’s the popup window only. Thanks
Hello,
Did you upload the updated theme? We released the theme for phpBB 3.2.6 a couple of days ago.
Yes, I installed updated theme (3.2.6) but I always get the error.
Hi, problem solved with new phpbb version 3.2.7. I reported the prosilver changes on the metro files (login_forum.html and viewforum_body.html) and now it seems to work. Please check if everything’s ok. Thanks.

I didn’t notice that the solution I reported above was working only on home page. Thank you
I want to refund my buy. The theme could not make traditional drop-down menu. Som my users where angry
Hello,
First of all you don’t seem to be our customer (or you used some other account to buy the theme). Secondly, the theme can use any menu style you want, but you need to add some custom modifications for that.

Hello,
I’m looking to create a new forum with phpBB 3.2.3. The Metro theme says it supports 3.0.x.
Is it not possible to use the Metro theme for a new installation? I’d rather not (and I do not see where to) download and start with a now unsupported phpBB version.
Thanks,
David
Hello, David
Metro supports many versions of phpBB. It also fully supports phpBB 3.2.3. So you can use it!
Thanks for the quick response! It garnered you a sale. In the .zip, I see folders for 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2. I’m assuming that they’re all mutually exclusive (?) – or do they need to be installed over one another in that order? I noticed that 3.0’s nearly twice the size of 3.2.
Thank you for the purchase! Just open the “3.2” folder and you’ll see the “Documentation” directory inside it. You’ll find there all the information to install the theme.
And feel free to contact us if you have any questions!
hello
please share the installation instructions
thank you
Hello,
You can find the installation instructions in the theme’s documentation. Just look into the theme’s pack.
i can not find the download link , i purchased template last night

thank you
Hello,
May you have used some other account to buy the theme? Since I don’t see you as our customer. You can also contact Envato support on the question, they should help you.
I used the theme, and added the extention paypal donations. The icon in the tile is very small, how can I change this? www.messenplatform.nl
