‘Bubblegum’ vBulletin Template

In Scripts & Resources, vBulletin

With the FreshBlue vB template now exceeding 400 downloads at vBulletin.org alone I have decided to release another design which is free to all. Named ‘bubblegum’ this template is once again a light, airy design which, with any luck, your community members will be happy to use for hours on end. This release is based on the 3.6.4 vB version but should work fine with any of the 3.6 releases and is backwards compatible with the 3.5 branch if you don’t mind a little template editing.

Included in the download are the necessary Photoshop source files and detailed instructions so that you can replace the ‘myForum.net’ graphic with the name of your site. For details on installation and usage of the template see the readme.txt file.

If you’re interested in an unbranded or customised version for your forum then please contact me.

Enjoy!

Fixed-width FreshBlue Template

In Scripts & Resources, vBulletin, FreshBlue

This is just a quick note to anyone who is using my FreshBlue vB template or runs a vB powered forum: I've released a fixed width version of FreshBlue (scroll down to update #2) and the price remains the same at £0.

Free vBulletin template - ‘FreshBlue’

In Scripts & Resources, vBulletin, FreshBlue

To celebrate the launch of this very blog I’ve decided to release a free vB template which is available for use on any vBulletin forum.

Fresh Blue Template Example

The 'FreshBlue' template is a fairly simple layout which requires no editing whatsoever when being installed. As the forum title is taken from the database you don't even need to change a header image.

FreshBlue Demo: MotoGP Forums
Download link: FreshBlue 1.0

Installation

  1. Upload the 'freshbluetemplate' folder to your vBulletin /images directory.
  2. In your vB Control Panel go to Styles & Templates -> Download / Upload Styles.
  3. Select 'freshblue-vbulletin-style.xml' in the 'upload the XML file from your computer' section.
  4. Leave the rest of the form settings as they are and click 'import'.
  5. You're done!

The small print

You can use this template on any number of forums at no cost whatsoever. All I ask is that the Vaya Design link in the footer remains and that you do not redistribute the template yourself (including modified versions).

Comments are welcome and feel free to share a link to any forums using the template.

Enjoy!

(vBulletin forum owners may also be interested in the vBulletin Directory, submission is free)

Updates

Update: I can offer an unbranded (no 'skin by Vaya Design' link in the footer) version of this skin for £30 which is approximately $50. Email me if you are at all interested.

Update #2, 26/04/2005: A fixed-width version of the FreshBlue template is now available. You can once again view a demo at my MotoGP Forums. The installation and usage requirements remain exactly the same, although it will be 'freshblue-fixed-vbulletin-style.xml' that you need to upload. Download FreshBlue Fixed.

Update #3, 09/08/2005: An updated version of FreshBlue for vBulletin 3.6 is now available. The above downloads for vB 3.5 will remain available for download, but are no longer supported.

Update #4, 28/05/2008: An updated template for vB 3.7 is now available and can be downloaded at vBulletin.org.
