Thank you everyone for their patience while we updated our styles. In the next few hours everyone should receive an email letting you know that the download is ready.
As with any update backup your current styles FIRST! This includes exporting XenBase, your premade style, then your custom style. If your using the advance footer on your current site please read the bottom of my post.
Advanced Footer Users
Initially when we set up the footer we wanted it easy for any user to go in and adjust things. By doing this and giving users multiple layouts we completely over looked how the footer should of been from the start.
With this upgrade you will more than likely need to re-work your footer a little. Before upgrading your style, of course export all of your styles to back them up but you can also copy the contents of your Style Properties -> [XB] Footer blocks, such as the about us / link groups and paste them into a new notepad file or something like it.
When you go to upgrade there is no more layouts but just 4 simple blocks. You can set the width on each block and set content to do in each one.
This is far better but slightly more complicated than previous. But it will allow for users to make some really awesome footers for their site.
I posted a little about the footers here:
https://pixelexit.com/threads/1-4-4-footer-changes-important.1732/ and a resource will come shortly after the 1.4.4. updates.
Conclusion
