Hi everyone. I discovered the wonderful world of hacks and built our forum from the original default vbulletin to this.

I am a newbie to hacks and I am loving it. You guys and ladies who write these hacks are amazing and thank you for offering your talents to others.

Well, here is our site www.corvettevalley.com

Check it out and let me know what you think.

:cheers:

Thank you all. Yes, we started the site less than a year ago and spent the time learning how to make it real fancy. Yes, the original default style is nice but when lots of vbulletin sites use the default style your site just looks like the rest. So you gotta spice it up with a new style.

Then I discovered the wonderful world of hacks and the amazing people that can do these. This is what can really make your forum special and different from the rest. When I go to car show events they have food, entertainment, and other fun things to do. If they had a show without this and all you saw were cars and hearing crickets although it would be nice to see the cars, it may get tiring after a while. Therefore, we designed the forum like a car event. Having the theme based on cars with lots of fun activities on the side. I lost count on the amount of hacks we put in. Oh, my ride looks like the one in our banner by the way.

Now there is one thing that is driving me nuts and I got tired of banging my head on the wall. When we upgraded from 3.08 to 3.54 part of our gallery shows those dreaded RED X's. I hate those. You can see them here where the search and quick links buttons are as well as on the upper left hand side of the pages and under the calendar for our random images. This happens in all of our styles and for the life of me I haven't been able to figure out a fix. Does anyone here know of an easy fix? If so I would be greatful for the answer.
See: http://www.corvettevalley.com/galler...ry.php/cat/502

Now I am no expert in hacks, but I am getting the hang of things. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot them to me here. Thanks again and you guys are great!

All I see is an index directory?

I guess you need to change vb3index.php to index.php ?

Thank you!!!!!! I just had an explosion on my forum today with a hack. I will explain in my next post. LOL!

I guess when you are adding hacks you have to expect stuff like this. Remember to always back up your data!!!!!!!

Yeah, I am sorry about that. We put in an arcade hack over the weekend and it wasn't saving the high scores from the arcade games.

We tried to fix it but it messed up our vbadvanced page. I had to reinstall index.php but we lost our vbadvanced. We will have to put that up again. But we have our forums up running again, thank goodness.

This link should work now with the red x's in it:

Cool, site looks good. I'll check it out when I'm not @ work "working". Too bad you don't allow nude women posting with vettes. Are you on ls1tech or ls1.com at all?

Hi meth!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!! Glad you like the site!
Some of those pictures you are referring too have made it up onto the forum. One of our members had a recent birthday and someone plastered photos of that sort up. And they all had corvettes in them. LOL! But they need to be removed. Our webhost doesn't allow pictures of that sort on their servers. Darn!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!

Nope not on any of those other sites you are speaking about. Thank you for your reply and checking out the website.

We are still working getting vbadvanced back up!
