Hi, I purchaise your forum, my fisrt question is: how I can change the color of template, for example I would like a darker red much more than now
Thanks
Hi, I search in comments, and I found the answer
Second question is: the logo is’n responsive, How do I get responsive ? thanks
are you there ??
Hello,
Just use css media queries. It’s inside the ‘responsive.css’ template of your theme.
Hi,
First of all, thank you for this wonderful theme. It has been a great addon to our support forum. Already gave you a 5 star 
Now for my query, I see that you are using jQuery version 1.6.x within your theme. I had to update it to 1.10.x because of some other requirements of mine. I also saw that inside overall_header.html template, you had some jQuery code with .live API (mainly to show the login modal box). Since that is deprecated I changed it to .on API and everything works as expected. My question is, is that all jQuery code used in your template or are there more? If more, then can you please give a list of files I need to edit to update them (PS: I can update them myself. But a list of files would be really helpful).
Hello,
Thank you for the purchase! And thanks for the 5 star rating!
is that all jQuery code used in your template or are there more?Yes, it’s the only part jquery used for.
Great thanks. Perhaps you’d update it in your upcoming release
Also, just a heads up. The forum rules seemed a little buggy on topic pages (eg, creating a new topic or replying to one). The main reason seemed the link was not wrapped inside span.rules-header. I’ve fixed it with some minor CSS. Thought you’d like to know.
Hello,
Which forum rules you mean? The default one or a third-party addon? If it’s the default rule system, could you please send me a screenshot of the issue? Just contact us via our profile page, please.
The default one. Sent you an email.
Oh … And please consider make one to SMF2 forum : http://download.simplemachines.org/ also. I’d buy it right away for twice the cost. 
I’m not sure, but we may create a SMF version too!
I hope you can/would consider it. Personally I switched to this since it has a lot of “built in” functions ( on a free script ) that is very usefull to smaler companies.
phpbb = the BIGGEST one. But it lacks functions that a company needs.
vBulletin = A great script, but for a smaller company they may not be able to afford and/or want to spend the money on it.
smf2 = A free “inbetween” option that is underrated, but very usefull to smaller compains due to it’s functions you can turn on/off.
Just stumbled on this theme “by mistake” and checked out the demo. Great GREAT theme. I bought it just to support your work even though I don’t even run a forum. Imo this is how the phpbb3 makers SHOULD alter the original forum theme into.
Hello,
Thank you for the good words and the purchase! We are glad you like our work!
Hi
I noticed on your preview you have permalinks – www.metro.com/catagoryname how do i implement this onto my site?
Also i am having trouble adding sidebars to my forum, after following the instruction they appear at the bottom of the page not at the side please advise.
I have emailed you but had no response
Hello,
I’ve just answered your email.
Great theme! Can you tell me how to switch the sidebar in the posts to the left hand side please (and move the online image across aswell)? Thanks!
Hello,
The sidebar’s position can be changed via css.
and move the online image across aswellWhich online image you mean? In the post block?
The ‘Online’ banner to signify that someone is currently logged in. I would like to position it on the other side aswell after I move the sidebar from right to left. Basically I am looking to mirror its position on the left rather than the right. I hope that makes sense.
Hello,
Can you contact me via our profile page?
With this version, is there anyway to have the same color-switching abilities as seen on the vBulletin version (color bar menu on left of page)?
Hello,
It’s just a piece of rough code, it’s not a module. So you can just take it and implement to your site. Just add links to your styles.
How this theme looks in ie8 and in russian?)
Hello,
It works OK with Russian language. But you will have some issues with IE8 – first of all it won’t be responsive and you’ll need a fix for submenu icons – but it’s easy to do.
how can i add side bar on the custom pages
like i want to add the side bar on the below mentioned page.
http://forums.epakistan.com/test/about.phpHello,
As I see you managed to add the sidebar on that page?
yes one more thing can i show recent topics on the side bar
I need to test one mod for this. I’ll do it tomorrow and let you know!
waiting for your reply
Hello,
You can use this mod – http://www.flying-bits.org/download.php?mod_id=5 It works OK!
I like how the vB version has the sidebar that disappears. Is that not possible in the PHPBB version?
And just a side note – I’m having a lot of fun implementing and redesigning this theme! I’ve been searching for a theme to update my forum with for years. All other PHPBB themes look like it’s 1994.
I’ve changed some of the imagesets so that the visuals for new posts, no unread .. etc are all footballs. I’ve used CSS to make a “tabbed” sidebar area (though IE doesn’t work damn). I also made a header image so there is a grass image behind the title rectangle and boxes. I’ve mixed and matched different colours (blue, black and white, red) so make a different feel.
I’ve also created CSS/code so that when you get a new private message, it pops up with a large green rectangle above the “view new posts” bar, like a notification.
Still needs work but getting there
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2qbrec8&s=5#.UjprldJ_N14Wow, your forum looks great! Just wonderful! Congratulations!
I like how the vB version has the sidebar that disappears. Is that not possible in the PHPBB version?It’s possible but it needs some coding. We’ll think about implementing this feature.
If you use // rather then http:// or https:// it will automatically change depending if they are using http or https, this way everyone wins
Hello,
OK, we’ll add this in the nearest update.
Thanks!
So I guess this was not in the latest update =(. Also chrome is giving this error for $(document).ready(function() {
“Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined “
This only shows up for https
Hello,
Sorry, it’s not modified yet. But I promise we’ll fix it.
Just installed on a five year old forum, got a couple of teething issues so far, posting on the forum gives this error >

Any ideas?

Hello,
Which version of phpbb are you using? The theme is supposed to work with phpbb 3.0.11 only.
Ah that might explain it then, update in progress now
Thanks all fixed, the upgrade didn’t help but it was a multi file upload mod that was killing it…
OK, good luck with your forum! And feel free to contact us if you still have any questions.
I have bought the theme but I have the following issues; Clicking the “Login” link at the top right side of the page does not work in IE, Firefox, or Chrome. The #login-box functionality doesn’t work. The “About Us” and “Join Us” bars at the bottom of the page in the Live Preview are not part of mine. Please urgent help is needed.
Hello,
Are you using https?
No, I am running it from my laptop which is my test platform
If all the files uploaded properly you shouldn’t have any difficulties. Try to reinstall the theme.
Okay, I will try reinstalling the theme. What about the “Login” link at the top right side of the page does not work?
The login box is using the jquery script and it’s downloaded directly from google servers. I think something may block the script and that’s why the login form doesn’t work.
Thanks. My laptop wasn’t connected to the internet. But I am fine now.
OK! Feel free to contact us if you still have any questions!

Hello,
What is this code for?
I would like to call the last 15 topics with last post in the sidebar. How to do that? Many thx in advanced!
Hello,
You can try this mod – https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=573680
I have installed this mod, but don’t know how to activated. I mean, what to change in index_body.html???
Hello,
It should be described in the mod documentation. Please read it carefully.
{ RECENT_TOPICS } Topics Replies Views Last post There are no topics or posts in this forum.
I have read it carefully, and on my sidebar that’s the text that appear!
And, btw, the author said: A manual how to install the mod on any other page of phpbb3 is included (see zip-file/contrib/Addons/add_any_page/install.xml).
Is not true, there is no Addons folder in contrib folder.
I have read it carefully, and on my sidebar that’s the text that appear!I’ll test the mod one of these days and let you know whether it works.
Is not true, there is no Addons folder in contrib folderYou should contact the mod author about it.
Have u tried the mod? I really need help about last posts in sidebar! Thanx in advanced
Hello,
I’ll test it tomorrow!
Ok, many thx.
Hello,
I tested it. The mod works OK inside the sidebar. You should just follow all the mod instructions carefully.
Hello, I change the logo, but now my logo is show too small. How can i change the size of the logo at the theme?
The logo file (.png) have the right size but when i uploaded it appear really small online.
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
Did you add the new logo size to ‘imageset.cfg’ as written in the documentation? And you should refresh the imageset in the AdminCP after that too.
Hey! Great style. Loving it. However I do want to customize alittlebit. I made an image which includes my questions to make it easier to understands. Hope you can help
Image with questions: http://oi39.tinypic.com/2v9b5e9.jpg
Thanks!
Hello,
Thank you for the purchase!
1. You can change it by editing the ‘doc_background’ variable of your style. You can find it here – AdminCP – Styles & Templates – Style Manager – YOUR_STYLE – Style Variable Editor
2. It’s not a banner, it’s an html-block and if you want you can place an image inside it.
3. Yes, you can. Each forum block has an own css-id, so you can easily assign a background image to it.
4. Here’s a video tutorial – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSK1ieIjmW4
1. Hey PixelGoose, thanks for the reply. Are you sure this attend to PHPBB3 and not vBulletin? There is no “Styles & Template”, only “Style” in PHPBB3 and I cant find to see a style editor in there
2 & 3. Where can I think the html_code for it and the css_file?
4. I did manage to put an image there by clicking Forums -> Category -> Manage Forum -> Edit -> “Forum Image:”
However when I add a new icon the old one is still there to the left Here is an image: http://s17.postimg.org/yeytcqh8v/Untitled_2.png
How to proceed? Thanks!
I do notice a sidebar.html in /metro_red/template/
Hello,
Are you sure this attend to PHPBB3 and not vBulletin?My bad! Sorry.
1. The background color is in the ‘colours.css’ template.
2. Look for ‘overall_header.html’ template – the logo code is inside it.
3. No, phpbb3 doesn’t have additional css id’s depending on certain forum block. But you can set an image background for all the forum headers.
4. Try this mod – http://www.phpbb3bbcodes.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=582
Also is it possible to get a sidebar like in the vBulletin-version?Sure! It’s described in the documentation how to add the sidebar.
Is there a way to not force responsive?
Either stop it all together or have a “Full version” link that means it is the full version on the phone/mobile device
Hello.. Any plans to launch this theme with alternate header? Or maybe new theme? This theme really looks great but I am looking for a theme with a header banner.. Rotating banner would be great as well.. Also is it possible for your to develop widgets for the siderbar for recent posts or comments/replies?.. Regards
Hello,
No, we don’t have plans to create an alternate header. But if you have some knowledge in html and css, you can easily create an own one.
Also is it possible for your to develop widgets for the siderbar for recent posts or comments/replies?You can use a mod for that from the phpbb3 mod database. The sidebar works ok with mods!
Hi again
This is a “silly” question, but I am really lost! I can’t find the code names in the css files. I want to change the forum title and in the last row where it says “Last post by”
In which css are theese so I can change them? How are they named? I didn;t figured out with firebug, sorry.
Thanx in advance
Elias
Hello,
You should use ’.forumtitle’ and ’.lastpost span’ for that.
