Hi there, we purchased this theme a while ago and looking to find the latest version of it to catch-up with all theme updates.
Where can I find them?
Hello,
Just check your ‘Downloads’ section – you’ll find the latest ‘Metro’ version there. And you can also see the update list here down the page – http://themeforest.net/item/metro-a-responsive-theme-for-phpbb3/4559274
Hello,
I have a problem on my PHPBB install with your Theme : we are unable (standard user or admin) to edit or quick edit message. There is nos button visible … why ?
You can check here : http://www.bitcoins-cafe.com
Do you have an idea ??
Hello,
It’s because you’re using a language pack different from English. We don’t have a French buttons set yet, but for a quick fix -
1. Find the ‘en’ folder here – styles/YOUR_COLOR/imageset/
2. Duplicate the folder and rename it into ‘fr’.
And don’t forget to refresh your imageset!
Hello,
Did you try to refresh the theme? ACP – Styles – Themes – YOUR_TEMPLATE – Refresh
Check your ‘common.css’ template. Find there #container3 and look which color used as ‘background-color’.
background-color: #603CBB;
Yes, that’s the color of your theme – violet. But I can’t see the prefooter blocks on your forum at all at the moment.
How can we do? 
Have you turned it off?
I’m sorry but I did not understand.
First of all you should add the prefooter blocks as written in the documentation. Then you should change the color via css and refresh the templates and css via AdminCP. After all these steps you’ll get your prefooter blocks with the color you need.
Very thanks, now it’ ok 
Hello,
As you can see here : http://www.votretourdumonde.com/forum/ My logo in the header is not well positionned. How to fix that problem in order that the earth begins at the bottom of the lime color and not higher ?
Thanks
As far as I see you managed to fix it? 
Not exactly, as you can see, it’s not well positioned on the left now … How to fix it ? Thanks !
#header #logo {
position: absolute;
left: 12px;
bottom: 0px;
}
I already did it: #header #logo { position: absolute; left: 0px; bottom: 0px;
Try to refresh the theme files via ACP, the css still shows ‘12px’.
I did it, but there is still no change, the logo header is not on the left 
No, it’s ok now!
http://i.imgur.com/aNMcJky.pngYeah but on the right, it doesn’t look good !
Yes, that’s because the image has constant width. But you can make the image wider and set it as a background of the #header block, so it’ll look much better.
You mean, that it takes the full header place ? Or what you mean by “backgrounf of the header block” then ?
Thanks for your help !
#header {
height: 120px;
background-color: #82BA1B;
margin-bottom: 0px;
position: relative;
}
and replace with this -
#header {
height: 120px;
background: #82BA1B url(./styles/metro_lime/imageset/site_head.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
margin-bottom: 0px;
position: relative;
}
This will set the image as a background of the ‘header’ block, and if you will make it wider, the image inside the block will always look good – from left to right.
Hello,
Thank you for this amazing product, I how ever wish if possible to have the poster\topic author on the left side of the post and not the right.
How would i change this, What do i need to change.
Thank you greatly for this theme and thank you greatly for helping
Hello,
Thank you for the purchase and for the good words!
I how ever wish if possible to have the poster\topic author on the left side of the post and not the right.
You can use this tutorial for that – https://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/prosilver-profiles-on-left/
Sure all the changes must be applied to the “Metro” templates.
Hi Thank you, The css changes to move it to the left worked bar one small issue i have been trying to fix all night.

All i need to know is how to fix that last part and the change from the right to left with your solution is 100% awesome.
Again thank you for helping.
Can you contact me via our profile page and send a link to your forum? I need to have a look at the code.
Hi Thank you I sent a message.
Hi PixelGoose
Any luck
with above
Hello,
It seems you didn’t get my message… I’ll resend you again today.
Hi PixelGoose
Any luck locating the final parts that i need to change for the poster\topic author on the left side.
Thank you again kindly
Hello,
I’ve just replied you, please check your inbox
It is possible to add homepage featured slider and navigation menu
Hello,
Sure, you can add it. You just need to edit some templates.
Hai,
i have a prebuy question: can i integrate the metro theme in my wordpress site? Do you also sent documentation about the integration when i buy it? I work with the most popular theme ‘Avada’ from Themeforest and that contains allready a forum, with bbpress 2.5.2.
greetz, marcel
Hello,
You should use an integration plugin. Something like this one – http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-united/
So it will be quite easy!
Last two questions : 1) I changed the logo header with a 784×120 header but it’s not well positionned : http://www.votretourdumonde.com/forum/
2) How can I put some MODs on the sidebar (like “who is online”, ...) ?
Could you help me with that ?
Hello,
1. You should change the ‘bottom’ position, I think. Change the rule, you can find it inside ‘common.css’ template.
.logo-image {
bottom: 58px;
height: auto !important;
left: 12px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 100;
}
2. Just paste there the Mod’s code and it’ll work!
2. Where, there ? 
Hello,
Inside the sidebar) Just read the documentation – it’s explained there 
I can see in the PSD documents that there is a french version for “online”, “answer” etc. Where can I put it on filezilla then in order that it’s in french ?
Hello,
No, the theme doesn’t have a French button yet. But we’re going to release it.
When will the release be online ? Next days or next months ? Thanks 
Hello,
I can’t say an exact date. But if you can, you can translate the buttons yourself – there’s a PSD with all the buttons, so you can you easily modify them.
Hello,
I’m trying to install some MODs with AutoMOD on my new forum ( http://www.votretourdumonde.com/forum/ ) but this is not working … How can I handle it ?
Do you have a easy tuto to install MODs on this style ?
Thanks
Hello,
Thank you for the purchase!
AutoMOD should work – the theme has almost the same structure as the default ‘prosilver’ theme. But anyway I’ll test it and let you know.
It is not working with “ViewTopic Birthday” or “Precise Similar Topics II” 
However, when I install it, it is working on the other styles …
OK, I’ll test the mods!
Did you test it ?
Thanks
Hello,
Sorry, I’m just away on my holidays. I’ll test it in a couple of days 
So … ?
Hello,
The AutoMOD works OK with core edits – mods adding ACP functions etc. But it has some difficulties with custom themes. Because mods authors only support the default phpbb3 themes like “prosilver” and “subsilver2”. You can edit mods installation scripts to point them to ‘Metro’ and in most cases it’ll work, but not always – e.g. “Metro” header differs a lot from the default one, so a mod working with the header won’t find corresponding code parts.
Hello,
I have installed the forum theme in B&W then have changed to another language (French) but I don’t see any of the images in the theme’s imageset/en/ ... If I copy the ‘en’ into a ‘fr’ imageset it does not work either. I think I’m missing something. This is a little bit blocking as the “Edit” button for instance does not appear.
Thank you for your help !
Hello,
Thank you for the purchase!
Did you try to refresh the imageset? Here it is – ACP – Styles – Style Components – Imagesets – YOUR_THEME – Refresh
I have but it didn’t help the forum is here https://forum-fgi.afnic.fr/index.php
Yes, as far as I see you have the image inside your ‘fr’ folder – https://forum-fgi.afnic.fr/styles/metro_bw/imageset/fr/button_topic_new.png
Did you try to reinstall the theme?
I did add a fr folder manually to see if it would work… but it didn’t and even in the “en” folder it wasn’t working either. Is reinstalling the theme going to affect what has been posted ?
Is reinstalling the theme going to affect what has been posted ?
No, all posts will stay. And I would suggest you to install a different color scheme for test.

Hello! Two questions:
1. My goal is to install the theme on a server to test it. Later would install again on my final project. Is this possible with regular license?
2. I’ve seen forums that have this theme installed and none I’ve seen the right sidebar. What might cause this situation?
Thanks 
Hello,
Thank you for your interest to our theme!
1. Yes, you can do it.
2. Not all forums need a right sidebar, I think. Though it’s quite easy to install – just a couple more code lines.
Wow! Thank you very much for the quick reply. If all goes well, soon I will buy the template.
It is the best I’ve seen for phpbb3, congratulations!
Regards!
OK! And feel free to contact us if you still have any questions!

Could you please assist.
Did you apply the mod changes to the Metro templates or prosilver ones?
Havent applied anywhere. Default installation.

Hello,
You can leave here a text link or contact us via our profile page.
After I downloaded the OpenSans font to my computer (so I could alter the PSD/images), the text on my site became pixelated in FF/Chrome/IE, like what is described in: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9272073/why-are-my-google-web-fonts-pixelated
Any ideas on how to fix it (other than removing the font from my machine)? Thanks.
Hello,
It cannot be fixed if you have Cleartype turned off. The only decision is to turn it on.

Greetings,
I have to say first that I love this theme and am quite pleased with it’s overall performance.
I was wondering if it is possible to have all images load expanded? When a thread is opened, image attachments are in a window with scroll bars on them and if you click on them they expand to fit the posts window. I’d like it if I could just have them fit the post window immediately upon loading the thread. So they don’t have to be clicked on in order to have them expand to fit the post window.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
Minus the scrollbars as well.
Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to have all images load expanded? When a thread is opened, image attachments are in a window with scroll bars on them and if you click on them they expand to fit the posts window.Can I see a screenshot of the issue? Or a link to a thread like that?
Sure,
This is what a forum post with an image attachment looks like when the page is loaded: http://www.nightasy.com/personalimages/ForumLoad.jpg This is what it looks like when the image attachment is clicked: http://www.nightasy.com/personalimages/ForumImageClicked.jpgIs there a way to make it like the second one automatically as soon as the thread loads without the user having to click on it? That’s what I’m interested in having the image attachments do. No scrollbar on them and they are scaled to fit the width of the forum post window.
Or rather scaled to the size they do now when they are clicked. The scrollbar disappears and they show the entire image.
Basically what I want image attachments to do is bypass the rule asking, “Has the image been clicked? If not show in small window with scrollbar.” Instead I want the rule to work like this, “All image attachments are already clicked. Show full image.”
Hello,
Did you add any modifications that could cause the issue? Anyway, if it’s possible, please send us a link to your forum via our profile page – I need to have a look at the code.
It’s not a bug. It’s just the default way that attachments load. I’d prefer that they didn’t load in a window with a scrollbar.
I think this may help you – https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=1631185
But don’t forget to apply the changes to the Metro theme not to ‘prosilver’.

Hello PG,
How can I center the logo?
Cheers!
P.S. Gave Metro 5 stars. Awesome responsive phpBB style.
Hello,
Thanks for buying our theme and for the good words!
How do you want to center the logo? Did you the remove the tabs?
Yes, I removed the tabs. I’d like my logo to be centered.
More questions:
1. How and where do I add custom links and the FAQ and Members links at the top and to the left of the Register/Login links? Custom and FAQ links always visible (logged in or not). So, it would look like this spread out at the top right corner of the page when:
Not logged in: Contact Gallery FAQ Register | Login
Logged in: Contact Gallery FAQ Members User Control Panel (0 New Messages) View Your Posts Logout [aithon]
2. How can I move the copyright text (phpBB, Metro Theme) including Moderator and Administrator links to the right, and then add custom links (visible at all times) on the left side?

Hello PG. Just wondering if you got my email. Cheers.
New to this forum theme and all, don’t mind if my question sound stupid but I am already using a stock version of phpBB, so can your theme be uploaded on that without killing the data on that. And what’s the status of security on your theme as phpBB is not regarded to be the best forums software when it comes to security.
Hello,
Thank you for your interest to our theme!
Sure you can upload it and everything will be OK – your data will stay intact.
>>And what’s the status of security on your theme
Our theme is built upon the default phpbb3 theme ‘prosilver’. So it’s as secure as the official default theme is!
HI, is it possible to get exactly the same demo if we buy your thme ? Thanks
Hello,
Sure, the theme pack contains just the same theme as installed on the demo forum!
thanks but my question was, if we can download your demo… ANd to work after on your demo content ?
Do you need the demo data? The theme pack doesn’t include it, but I can prepare it for you and send the database (as .sql-file) to you.
Ok. Just three others thinks : 1/ i’ve juste see it’s not a wordpress them, so i can’t use it ? (my level is very week in computer) 2/ Can i use this them with WPML ? Because it’ll be an international them. 3/ Is everything is ok, i’ll buy your them. Just tell me how to integrate your database. Thanks Franck
1. Yes, it’s a theme for forum engine not WordPress and they are not compatible.
2. phpbb has its own language packs, so you can use them. The official list of language packs can be found here – https://www.phpbb.com/languages/
3. Here’s a guide – https://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/transferring-your-board-to-a-new-host-or-domain/ (look for “Restoring the Database”)
