Better watch out, I hear gearhead has connections and he'll probably tell Santa to just bring you a lump of coal!  :lol:[/quote]

Yea, and even though my belly is much smaller, I do have some grey on my head and my beard!!! So watch it.

Ok, let me tell you guys that me and the thunder from downunder believe in the .style file....

here are the instructions:

Note: .style files are an ingenious method of importing styles to your phpbb or IP database. I thought it was phpbb 101, but not everyone uses this method, but ask MG or thunder, IT WORKS. It contains EVERY part of the style for your forum. 

Boy, Santa Clause is gonna be good to me, and I'll make sure he's good to you guys.

First, make sure your cache is empty. Go to ACP and uninstall and delete files (delete files may not be avail.), however, once the MG Christmas is gone, go back and delete the cache 2 or 3 times, then go to your cache folder for IP and hit refresh once and delete all the files that occured since users may still be on your site. (One safe way is to lock your site while doing this to keep having to delete the cache).....

Once the style is gone completely, then unzip the file, (I would use the unzipped version), and add it to your cache folder in IP only if the folder is empty, or very low on cached files).

Then go to Import styles. At that point, IP will show you the file that's cached or the .style file.

Go ahead and import it. Then you should test it. After it's ok, then you can empty your cache again in the ACP.....

You shouldn't have any problems at that point.  :mricy:  :mricy: 

I'm on so PM me if you get stuck.
