Demo: pbwow.com/forum

Download: pbwow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11304
I'm not linking directly to the download file, but rather to the installation guide (which has the download link, no login required), because I want users to read it before they attempt to use PBWoW 2.

Why isn't this style in the Styles Database Releases section?
Because PBWoW 2 simply cannot comply to the strict phpBB Styles Submission Policy (even though it is finished, ready for use, and already used by hundreds of websites). PBWoW 2 offers way more than just a simple style and features (optional) code changes (mods), includes copyrighted materials, is not fully IE6/IE7 compatible, has an unconventional file-structure, etc. All this is needed to deliver the best experience possible, but unfortunately means we will never be recognized as an officially released style. :cry:

PBWoW 2 is available in just about every language (except maybe RTL ones), because it doesn't use the traditional imageset/{LANG}/ stuff, but used actual text in the buttons instead (with the exception of a few minor ones).

So if you change your board language, the buttons will change automatically. That's why I don't need to include a "turkish first".

I put up a surprise style. If your browser supports webm/mp4, it should be pretty cool :D

bump from SUPRM

Nicely going so far, probably one of the top gaming forum themes for phpBB. Would love to see PayBass network grow to other games to re-create these styles for phpBB and maybe in future for other forum software as well.

Keep it up! :)

If I understand you correctly, you want a menu-bar at the top of the page, for portal integration?

Perhaps later, but there are other issues/features to address first.
