i get this error upload the file
------------------------------------
XML Error: syntax error at Line 1
------------------------------------
and when i look in the folder of the template i find vbulletin.style not the .xml file

you got a style for version 2.x and you are using version 3.x
2.x and 3.x are not compatible

[NeonSephiroth]

oh ok but whats with the ignore style thingy

[wimpie]

if you are using the latest version, v3.0.3 and like to use a skin built on 3.0 or 3.0.1 you can still use that style version

ok i installed it but still unclear bout uploading the images do i just over the orginal images or what? and then im having a problem with my reputation. I upload new rep images and when i went to check to see if it works it says its turned off and its on.

normally the folder with images from the new style (usually the styles name) goes into the original vBulletin images folder.
