Theme Possibility

[Lady Lex]

Forum URL: doctorinhouse.proboards.com

Hello,

I've put this off for a few weeks so I am just going to ask now.  A member of mine has just created a new theme which all of my members really love and so do I.  She created it in V4 and what I was wondering was if it was possible to have the exact same thing in V5.

This is what is it looks like:

shimiiluvins.proboards.com/

The only problem is, none of the threads are there.  I have no problem manipulating or making the proper changes to the theme I currently have.  But I am not sure how complicated this would be or if it can be done at all.  We put the new theme on Beta and of course it looks nothing like what it does on V4. 

I am at a loss of what to do, how to accomplish this, if it is even worth the trouble.  Any suggestions and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this thread belongs in support or theme help (oh well) XD

Could you maybe make a list of what shows up different on your beta site (aside from your tabbed boards)? I may be able to point you in the right direction for some of the stuff.

Sorry if this is in the wrong board! Maybe one of the admins can move it for me.

Here is the link to the beta site:

shimiiluvinstest.freemessageboards.com/

You can see it is nothing like what we are hoping for.

Thanks!

Well first and foremost, i think that the board width needs to be changed XD 
Admin --> Themes --> Colors and Theme Creator

Change the width to whatever looks good to you  

Next (im not sure if you're using the Side bar Redux Plugin or not) if not, download and install it at
Admin --> Plugins --> manage

** be sure to remove the other ones if you choose to use the plugin ones **

For the look on your old forum i believe you go to the settings tab on the plugin and select "Move Banner : No". 




Next, you'll want to look Here to get back your border around forum.


After all this is done i'll see what else i can help with XD

Lady Lex, one thing that should possibly help is the code by Smangii for border around forums (images):

Another, I see in the table at the top is a user legend. Keeping it similar to that, Smangii has also converted his V4.5 one to V5:
