Hi,
thanks about Metro, best template i found
can i display ten last messages somewhere with metro ? If yes, how ?
Thanks 
Hello,
Thank you for the purchase and for your kind words!
Yes, you can do it via a mod. I’d advise you to use NV recent topics. You can add the mod code to any Metro style areas – to the sidebar or the prefooter.
thanks a lot !
Hi,
I would like to know if I can somehow make google ads responsive? If I use dummy ads (just a .jpg file) it scales nicely when the browser window is altered in size. When I add google ads script this stops and the forum layout is not looking so nice anymore.
Is there something I can do because it would be really nice to scale ads according to browser window size.
Thank you.
Hello,
This tutorial may help you – http://www.labnol.org/internet/google-adsense-responsive-design/25252/
My site seems to try and display before it’s ready. Notice if you click on the banner to reload the homepage you can see the raw text formatting a second before everything is displayed. How can I fix this?

Hello,
Did you enable template caching in you ACP?
I tried enabling “Recompile stale style components: Check for updated style components on filesystem and recompile.” but that didn’t seem to do anything. I don’t see anything specifically referring to “template caching.”
Did you test it on the default style (prosilver)? Do you have the same issue?
Yes, I do.
It only seems to do this in Chrome. Do you know why that would be?
Hello,
Though I didn’t get the issue at your forum, the problem seems to be in style.php script – it’s the core style script inside phpbb3 and it collects all the css-templates into a single file. When you first load your forum it executes for too long and this causes the ‘blank’ html. But when you load it again – the css-templates are loaded from browser cache so it works ok. The main reason could be either you hosting provider or internet connection issues.
I examined the phpbb support forum and ran across several issues like that — https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1903035https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=2216351
By the way, the issues seems to happen with the default phpbb3 style – prosilver too.
I would advise you to try to use a php accelerator at your hosting (if it’s possible). It may help you.
Thanks. Did you try clicking on the logo banner and not hitting the refresh button in the browser? It only happens when clicking the logo banner in Chrome, so I think it’s something related to the support for that browser. It works fine in Firefox and Internet Explorer. I don’t think using PHP Accelerator is the solution.
Yes, I tried both page refresh via F5 and clicking the logo and it’s OK. I can even capture a video for you to make sure. Could you create a test account for me and send login/pass via our profile page? I need to compare load speed of styles on your forum as a user.
Thanks! I just sent an email. FYI: I’ve noticed this on my personal home computer and my computer at work (which has a really fast connection).
I ended up fixing the problem by doing a clean install on the forum. Something was causing the delay with one of the mods I did. We’re good now. Thanks!
Hello,
I’m glad you managed to fix the issue. But feel free to contact us if you still have any issues!
hello, I just bought the Metro theme. I have a problem with adding a new page. I did as indicated here https://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/add-a-new-custom-page-to-phpbb/ When I logged in to the forum, the problem is that when I go to the new page is created, I’m always disconnected. I have to re-enter my login and password. I do not understand why.
Hello,
Thank you for the purchase!
Does it happen with any browser?
Hello, I tested with chrome, firefox, safari. it’s the same problem. I said that at the moment I’m testing with local mamp (mac osx mavericks)
hello, I solved the problem like this. For example, if the new page is called “ocean.php”
I created the following line in “includes/fonctions.php” : ‘U_OCEAN’ => append_sid(“{$phpbb_root_path}ocean.$phpEx”), in the section: // The following assigns all common variables that may be used at any point in a template.
and I use the link : “a href=”{U_OCEAN}” title=”””
As it works. But the problem is not resolved If I call the page directly like this: http: //mon_site/ocean.php
the link is incorrectly noted. it’s: a href=”{U_OCEAN}” title=”“
Hello,
I’ll test it and let you know!
Hello, this is resolved, the problem was only with the local webserver
Hello! I have just set up this theme in my blog’s forums (fametatu.com/community) and would like to display all of the categories expanded on the index page, not just the top forums.
Please help me!
Hello,
Thank you for the purchase! Do you mean subforums? When you create a new subforum just set ‘List subforums in legend:’ to ‘Yes’. That’s all!
Hi, I can’t change logo size. And I think file imageset.cfg doesnt work with my forum because I am not see any images at forum (like Post reply or New topic etc). My forum has russian language, so maybe you will tell me how to connect imageset.cfg to work correct. Thanks.
P.S. Theme style is a really great! Love it.
Hello,
Thank you for the purchase and for your kind words!
I can’t change logo sizeIf you follow the documentation steps on changing the logo size it should work. The only thing – you might forget to refresh the image cache, it’s here –
ACP — Styles Tab — Imagesets — YOUR_THEME — Refresh. Try it!
My forum has russian language, so maybe you will tell me how to connect imageset.cfg to work correct.At this moment the theme doesn’t have Russian image set. So I’d advise you to use this quick fix –
1. Find the ‘en’ folder here – styles/YOUR_COLOR/imageset/
2. Duplicate the folder and rename it into ‘ru’
3. Don’t forget to refresh your imageset – ACP — Styles Tab — Imagesets — YOUR_THEME — Refresh
Thank you. It really helps.
We were glad to help you! Feel free to contact us if you still have any question
I want to add an icon to my custom navigation tab. We succesfully enabled the button but got stuck with this:
1.) We linked our website to the Tab / button.
<!-- Tab beginning --> <li id="Website"> <a href="http://www.nederlandsezebravinkenclub.nl/" title="NZC Website"> <span>NZC Website</span> </a> </li> <!-- Tab end -->
What to fill in as ID for the link? Where do I get this info?
Forum adress : http://www.nederlandsezebravinkenclub.nl/forum
Site link : http://www.nederlandsezebravinkenclub.nl
2.) Additionally we want to link this icon to the new Tab: .../imageset/icon_contact_www.png
We played around with the common.css but were not able to make the icon appear on the site.
ps. We created this to no effort
#header li#website-link a {
background-image: url("{T_IMAGESET_PATH}/tab-icon_contact_www.png");
background-attachment: scroll;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
Hello,
1. The ‘id’ is fully random. You can set the name you want. E.g. id="site-link" or as in your css – id="website-link"
2. I checked the image url but couldn’t find it. The image should be here – http://www.nederlandsezebravinkenclub.nl/forum/styles/metro_orange/imageset/tab-icon_contact_www.png
I might upload it to a wrong directory.
Thx !! I manged to fix it with the given pointers
Another question, how can I hide or remove content in sidebar for mobile devices?
You need to add another css-rule to responsive.css template of your theme. Find the following line (if you want to disable the sidebar for smartphones only) -
@media only screen and (max-width: 479px) {
and add just after it something like
#sidebar {
display: none !important;
}
And don’t forget to refresh the theme after editing via ACP — Styles Tab — Themes— YOUR_THEME — Refresh
Hello PixelGoose, I made my sidebar width to 300px, it works, but the social box “join us” blue box is not 300px width, how can I make that same width as the sidebar?
Hello,
Thank you for the purchase!
Inside the common.css template of your file you can find the following two css-id’s -
#col1 {
#col2
They define the width of the prefooter blocks. If you don’t know how to change their width – just let us know.
Hi PixelGoose
For some reason metro’s fonts were not loading so i check the console and noticed they are being blocked.
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/opensans/v10/RjgO7rYTmqiVp7vzi-Q5UT8E0i7KZn-EPnyo3HZu7kw.woff. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.
Do you have any patches to make the fonts locale inside the theme folder or do you have an updated version of the theme with the fonts included locally.
Many thanks in advance
Hello,
That’s strange because we use font link format that allows to use the font both for http and https forums. Do you have any specific security settings enabled in your browser?
Like this theme – but when is next update out? Thanks
Hello,
The next update will be in the nearest future with some RTL fixes.
Hi, How can I change the “metro” logo in the header please?
Hello,
Thank you for the purchase!
It’s an image logo. You should just replace it – it’s fully described in the theme documentation.
Hi, is there any way to add more ‘tabs’ like the ones in the Header to the pre-footer blocks in place of the social network links?
Hello,
You can do it manually with the help of html-code and css.
Metro — A Responsive Theme for phpBB3 I bought from you A Responsive Theme for phpBB3. I found a BUG in template which l can not cope. When you reduce the size of the window and click toggleMenuButton to expand it and then click again to make them collapse and after maximalize window. I cant see the main menu until I refresh this page. My forum is forum.eanimals.pl This error occurs at the beginning of the installation.
Are you able to help me with this problem?
screen http://elcs.nazwa.pl/problem.jpgHello,
Yes, I finally managed to reproduce the issue. It’s very strange. But it only happens if you maximize the window of a desktop browser from mobile resolution width. I don’t think it’s so critical but if you want I can send you a fix. And sure we’ll add the fix to the nearest update.
If this is not a problem, please send a fix patch. I would like to know which part of the code is responsible for this problem. (CSS or JS?) Thank you.

- But…we want it to look like this : http://www.nzc-friesland.nl/wordpress_test/wp-content/uploads/wanted_0001.png
As said I was not able to find proper info on how to achieve this. Could you give me some info about the proper *.css and code?
Thx in advance!
Hello,
Sorry for the delay. As far as I see you managed to add your forum header image?
Yes indeed 
We onle need to adjust the headers for mobile devices. Can you point me to the correct *.css file? Thx in advance!!!

Go to responsive.css template inside /styles/YOUR_STYLE_NAME/theme/ and add the following code at the bottom of the file -

Hey, Can we changes default font of Metro Style? / embed a new font? Thanks
Hello,
Sure, you can do if via editing CSS!
Thanks PixelGoose
terrible documentation so far for non phpBB3 users. . shouldn’t have to contact support. Create videos and save us all time.
Hello,
The documentation is written in as simple steps as possible – like ‘Upload – Go to… – Activate”. It’s a usual format and most of users (even non phpbb3 ones) can understand it. If you have difficulties installing it, I would suggest you to hire a person who can help you in that.
Any news about RTL?
Hello,
Still working on it – found some more issues. I’ll let you know via email!
okay.. thank you.. i am waiting for you
Will the theme allow participants to the forum to receive automated emails with replies to any strings in which they have participated in? and if so can the participant choose not to receive replies.
Hello,
Sure, each forum member may choose either to get email notifications or not!
Thanks PixelGoose
