i need to install this mod: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=1690905 (thanks mod). Can u help me please? is a great and useful mod for phpbb!
Hello,
You can easily install it following the mod documentation. Our theme is quite similar to the ‘prosilver’ theme, so it wont be very difficult for you.
One simple (I hope) problem for me. In memberlist, the letters are dark, in a dark backround so it’s hard for somebody to read them. I am talking about the titles in memberlist (username, rank, posts etc) Where can I change the colour for theese titles? Thank you once again for this great style and for awesome support!
Hello,
Can you send me a screenshot of the issue?
Sure. Here it is; http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/8688/zui0.png
As I can see you changed the default link color? Try to add these rules to ‘common.css’ template -
#memberlist th.name a,
.table-list th.name a {
color: #43A6DF !important;
}
That did solve the half of the problem. Now usernames and ranks are visible and the others are not. What do you mean about the default link color? Where is that and which is the default value?
Could you please contact us via our profile page and send a link to your forum?
ok.
I’d love to purchase this and really excited to try PhpBB. However, it would be really nice if you have a guide for beginners as this would be my first time to work on something like this.
Hope to hear soon from you before I purchase. Nice theme by the way. 
Hello,
Thank you for your interest to our work! You can find the installation guide inside the pack. It’s quite clear but if you have any questions, feel free to contact us, we’ll be glad to help you!
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi
I would like to include advertising blocks in a few places on the forum, and have followed the instruction in the https://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/advertisements-in-phpbb3/ article, but I can’t seem to get it to work.
I have put the following code in the styles/metro_blue/template/viewforum_body.html file:
<!-- IF postrow.S_FIRST_ROW -->
<div class="post bg2">
<div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span /></span>
<div class="postbody">
<h3>{postrow.POST_SUBJECT}</h3>
<p class="author"><strong>Sponsor</strong></p>
<div class="content" style="text-align: center;">
Insert your ad code here
</div>
</div>
<dl class="postprofile" id="profile0000">
<dt>
<strong>Sponsor</strong>
</dt>
<dd> </dd>
</dl>
<div class="back2top"><a href="#wrap" class="top" title="{L_BACK_TO_TOP}">{L_BACK_TO_TOP}</a></div>
<span class="corners-bottom"><span /></span></div>
</div>
<hr class="divider" />
<!-- ENDIF -->
Are there any known working mods available for phpBB 3.0.12? The only one I can find is this one: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/advertisement_management/ which doesn’t seem to be getting updated and only works on version 3.0.7.
Hmm… Looks like I was just not following the full instructions. I had not cleared the cache before checking it. I did however find a less intrusive method: https://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/inserting-ads-in-phpbb3/
Glad you managed to fix the issue! But feel free to contact us if you still have any questions
I really can’t understand, why this theme has not been made ie8 compatible, when there has been solutions provided for this. Should be easy to do for you, but harder for the rest of us. So could you please provide IE8 compatibility in next update. (pretty please)
Hello,
Unfortunately, we can’t create the theme IE8 compatible in every aspect. There are many issues with making it fully responsive etc.
yes, but you could make the most obvious erros go away (menu icons, weird stuff going on in that line etc.)....
I could have my own developer do this – takes approx 1-3 hours max. – but I would be much better for you do it – so that everyone that have purchased could be sure old windows xp users also can use this theme, until they switch over (latest when microsoft stops updates for windows xp in 1/2 years time)...
We’ll think of it
Hello,
How can I change forum font? Insert new one? What I need to change, add, etc. Thanks!
Hello,
First of all you should edit the font link in the “overall_header.html” template (if you’re going to use one of the Google fonts). Then replace all the css-entries setting the font name with your new font name.
Thank you, I will try it
Hello, very nice theme. I have few questions for you before my purchase 1.To integrate with wordpress,i will be using phpbb bridge plugin( it should be okay isn’t it?) 2. Can you adjust the colors? I want to add custom color code.Is there any way to do that? 3. Is it possible to change the header that says “METRO” ?
Hello,
1. Yes, there is a bridge plugin for that and you can use it.
2. Colors are just text entries inside css-files, so it’s quite easy to replace them with yours – I’ll explain how to do it.
3. Sure – it’s a logo and you can put yours instead of the default one.
thanks for the super& fast answer. I’m satisfied with the answer but 1 more question. I’m no familiar with phpbb. Is there any way to add ads 728X90 in the header/footer or above the header/footer
Sure, there are ad management addons too. You’ll be able to add and manage your banners easily.
Does this theme allow me to create forum sub categories? Or are there only top level categories with topics inside?
Hello,
You can easily create a multilevel forum with this theme.
Hey
Can I use this theme with my website’s design? or the forums section will have a different design unlike BBPress and BuddyPrss?
Thanks
Hello,
For example, if you’re using WordPress CMS, you can use a connection addon that will allow you to use the Metro theme inside your WordPress site.
What’s the best way to disable the “responsive” auto sizing option when the browser window size is reduced.
Thanks.
You can disable it by editing ‘stylesheet.css’ Just delete the following line at the end of the file -
@import url("responsive.css");
Thank you.
When I delete that line it causes some images (I think it’s the responsive images) to be overlayed on the “View unanswered posts” menu area. It looks like corrupted images. Any idea why that would occur?
Thanks again.
Hello,
Can you contact us via our profile page and send a screenshot of the issue?
Will, do. Thanks!
I’ve been working on my forum for a few weeks now and finally launched the new theme today!
http://www.safooty.net/Looks great! Good luck to your community!
Hello,
How add icons in navigation tab?
I upload icon, and added in common.css new position and it doesn’t work 
Hello,
Did you try to refresh the theme via AdminCP?
Yes.
Send me a link to your forum via our profile page. I need to look at the code.
Pls check email.
I am asking the same question as MikeQuell.
I’ve made a LOT of changes, would hate to lose them all. Is there a changelog ?
Hello,
Here are the updated templates -
login_forum.html mcp_front.html memberlist_search.html posting_editor.html report_body.html search_results.html ucp_groups_manage.html ucp_pm_history.html ucp_pm_viewmessage_print.html ucp_prefs_personal.html viewtopic_print.html
Many thanks. What was changed? As in, bugs? Features?
Hello,
There are some template changes – nothing serious.
What’s the best way to install the update? I noticed the download is pretty much every file. We don’t have to replace every file do we? I’ve made quite a lot of modifications since the last release.
Thanks,
Mike
Hello,
Unfortunately, phpbb does allow to update themes easily. So sometimes you really have to redo all the modifications again. But with this update to 3.0.12 you don’t have to update all the template files. Just replace those that have been updated. Here are the updated templates -
login_forum.html mcp_front.html memberlist_search.html posting_editor.html report_body.html search_results.html ucp_groups_manage.html ucp_pm_history.html ucp_pm_viewmessage_print.html ucp_prefs_personal.html viewtopic_print.html
Thanks so much!
Hi
I have a question for you around the licensing. I am planning to make the use of the forum free for users registering, but I would also like to include some form of advertising space in the form of banners that I am able to sell to potential advertisers. I may also (not confirmed yet) want to include some google ads.
Is this permitted under the regular license, considering that the users of the forum will not be charged?
Thanks
Barry
Hello,
Thank you for your interest to our theme!
You can modify the theme as you want after you buy it – you can include any forms of ads, change colors or design etc.
I apologize if this has been addressed, but I couldn’t find it when I searched – I’m having a problem with the theme installation when viewing it on my Android phone… when I tap the menu button, the drop down is being cut off so that only the first option is visible. Any thoughts? I’m really liking this theme so far… hoping the final kinks can be worked out.
Hello,
Which Android version and browser are you using?
My apologies, I suppose it would help if I had given more info. :-/ It’s Chrome on an Android Razr M v4.1.2. The drop down works on my desktop when I change the window size in Firefox to bring up the mobile version… it works okay in Chrome on the desktop as well.
Unfortunately, I don’t have an android phone at the moment. Could you please contact us via our profile page and send us a screenshot of the issue?
I don’t see a way to attach an image on this thread… I will look for a general contact email for you and send it that way…
Hmm.. can’t find an email either, the form on your site doesn’t allow an attachment… please advise best way to get the screenshot to you
Also – the screenshot I took was using Dolphin, another browser on Android, which is doing the exact same as Chrome, so it appears to not be Chrome specific on mobile.
Hello,
The contact form can be found here – http://themeforest.net/user/PixelGoose
It’s bottom right.
Hey i purchased the theme and I’m currently stuck on the sidebar, did everything else
I need to have a small square image on the top ( just like in the demo which could be removed ) and then a list of the most active users, possibly by rank or something? kind of a leaderboard.
Thank you
Hello,
You can use a mod like this for showing user statistics – https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/top_five/
Could you give me the exact instruction on how to make a sidebar just like the demo?
I am having a hard time, the tutorial file says
Replace ‘Your Sidebar Block Header ’and ‘Your sidebar content goes here’ with the content you need
I don’t really know what to put there ( don’t know code as well )
Hello,
I don’t really know what to put thereYou should replace it with what you need, e.g. “Welcome” for ‘Your Sidebar Block Header’ and some welcome text for ‘Your sidebar content goes here’. Try it!
Hi there, purchased the theme and currently working my way through setting-up. Is it possible to have a logo for desktop viewers and a different logo for mobile phone users?
Currently whilst viewing by mobile phone, my logo goes over the Navigation Menu button and looks messy.
You can view via www.lnffl.com
Hello,
You can change logo width with css media queries. Just set low width for mobile devices. If you don’t know how to do it – contact us via our profile page, we’ll help you.
Hello,
phpBB was updated to 3.0.12 a few days ago. Is it safe (theme-wise) to go ahead and update to the new version? I’m on 3.0.11.
Hello,
Yes, you can use the Metro theme with phpbb 3.0.12. It’s safe.
Great, thanks.
