This modification will revert the current frostbite postview back to the default view with the poster information on the left.

To achieve this you need to have the frostbite skin installed. Navigate in your Admin CP down the left column till you find the "Templates"; click on the "Modify / Delete" link in the box. A list of template sets will now be displayed. Click on "Expand" in the row that is for the frostbite templates. Scroll down the list till you see the link called "Post Bit Templates"; click expand next to that.

Once that expands click on the new "postbit" link. Replace all the code in that window with this:
<tr>
<td class="$altbg" width="155" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" align="center"><a name="pid$post[pid]"></a>
<strong><span class="largetext"><a href="member.php?action=profile&amp;uid=$post[uid]">$post[username]</a></span></strong><br />
<span class="smalltext">
$usertitle<br />
$userstars
$usergroupimage<br />
$avatar<br />
$lang->postbit_posts $post[postnum]<br />
$lang->postbit_group $usergroup[title]<br />
$lang->postbit_joined $regdate<br />
$lang->postbit_status $onlinestatus$replink<br />
</span>
</td>
<td class="$altbg" width="100%" valign="top">
<table width="100%">
<tr><td class="trow">$posturl$icon<span class="smalltext"><strong> $post[subject]</strong></span>
<p>$post[message]</p>

$signature
<div style="text-align: right; vertical-align: bottom;">

</td></tr>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$altbg" height="18" nowrap="nowrap" align="center"><span class="smalltext">$postdate $posttime</span></td>

	<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

	<td align="right" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="smalltext">$edit$quickdelete$quote$report</span></td>
	</tr>
	</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="2"><img src="$theme[imgdir]/pixel.gif" height="1" width="1" alt="" /></td>
</tr>

Hit the "update" button and when you return to the template list scroll all the way down till you see the "Show Thread Templates" link; Once that expands click on the new "showthread" link. Replace all the code in that window with this:
<html>
<head>
<title>$thread[subject]</title>
$headerinclude
</head>
<body>
$header
<table width="$theme[tablewidth]" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr>

Hit update and you should be all set to go.
Enjoy Cool
Thank you so much for this. Now all I need is three images which I cant seem to make (Downloads, Links, Shoutbox (first 2 with a divider, the last without) Wink ) and the footer links made neatly like the top ones, then I'll use the skin on my site.

Made a help button with a divider in case you wanted to add the new buttons to the right of it.
Here are the images:

Note: the downloads and shoutbox buttons above look kinda blurry, but when clicked on they show as normal.
thanks so much. I will finish the finish touches then upload to the site for others here to see. Smile (for your demo board).

First let me say, this is the BEST skin yet, that I have seen. I love it, Awesome job....Can't wait to see more skins from you, if you make more...

But I ask one thing. Could you make a Team Icons set with it with the following on it.

Site Admin
Admin
Super Mod
Moderator
VIP

If you could that would be awesome...


Thanks,

Sean
This is an great skin, but sadly it's too narrow for my forum because it will display lots of images, some of them pretty large. Do you have any plans to make a full width version of the same skin.

Also can you tell me if the admin section displays the same skin modifications to suit?
Please see the changing_width text file provided in the .zip


or select header template look for the table width (I may have it at 750px already) near the top. Edit that.

Admin is a whole nother' beast. When I convert this for the gold release I may change that.
Thats fair enough, no point in you creating an admin section for the RC version, then having to do the whole thing again with the Gold version. Look forward to seeing this skin for the Gold version though with the admin section done also.
Got a question, how did you make the mybb logo which displays on the top for the frostbite theme. I wanted to make a similar one as those colour and font integrate well.

I'll try and remember the font, but the rest is the magic that only Corel Photo Paint can do Smile
