The look of the board.

[rooobarbcustard]

hope you dont mind me saying, but these codes might help the look of the board.

Global Header


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This will remove the border from the Welcome Table

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].cellSpacing = 0;
//-->
</script>


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This will remove the Hey X.. you have X messages

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.getElementsByTagName('td').item(2).style.display="none";
//-->
</script>


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This will remove « Home » etc.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.getElementsByTagName('font').item(1).style.display="none";
//-->
</script>



and this code would give you a nifty bit for just under your welcome banner

just think it would make the boards look even better, hope you dont mind me sayin

[Main Admin Account]

Thanks very much for that Mate, Mind telling me what they all do before we add them

[Jodie.]

I Think They'll Be Good Changes, Seeing As The Board Is In Refurbishing Moment But I Think Alot Of People Like The Hey ? You Have ? Messages Because It Keeps You Informed And Thats The Thing That A Lot Of People Look At First When They Come Online ... But Thats Just My Opinion.

You're Doing A Great Job Contributing BTW !
And 115 Posts In A Few Hours Is Impressive ... Keep Posting.

the first three are self explainatary.

they would centerise your logo, and remove they hey x message x thingy. (for want of a better word) ;D

the other removes the <<home>> etc message you see under your logo. <<whatever page your on>>

and the long one, would replace the buttons under the logo. it gives you an optional drop down menu, so it hides the buttons for everyone, and people click on it, when they want to see if they have messages. or to remind themselves who they are ;D

All suggestions are welcome although we probably would test it before putting it up on here first of all but thanks and any sort of possible improvements we could do are welcome

[Lollipop]

I quite like 'Hey x, you have x messages' though...but other than that, it's smashing!

understand, but you can see if you have messages by inserting the other code, as that appears the drop down, it is also in the info center at the bottom of the page. plus people can change there preferences in the mail section so it gives you a pop up message for when you have mail.

then again people might like big type. after a few bevvys ;D

[Tony Yeboah's Lunchbox]

Well thats the only thing, if its a change that the rest of the members dont like then we probably wouldn't do it although some of these things are just a case of trial and error

no worries just thought id say, as i was surprised for such a busy board, you had such a lot of the original coding.

[Main Admin Account]

We are in the process of testing and should we like these codes they will be added. Thanks though. Mind me asking how you found this site?

I Suppose So But I Think Alot Of People Like It At The Top So Thats Where They Can See It Firstly.
The Layout Of The Board IMO Has Changed Alot Lately And Theres Quite A Few People On Here That Dont Master Everything Aswell As Others, So With Chaning Everything It Might Make Them Confused, But Great Contributions None The Less.

Well tbh mate there has been quite a bit of reshuffling....no one really has been that familiar with all the coding stuff although since stepping up ive started to look at it more so now and we've been testing out some different ideas...we would eventually like to try and get a nice proper skin made but all in good time i guess ;D

[weallloveleeds]

I think the top bit would look better if you could move the 'hey x....' below the logo and then stretch the logo across to take up all of the available room. Don't know if thats possible though.

Well if you ever need any help, I can but give you the knowledge i have, which isnt vast, but i have made plenty of hits and misses with my own boards. so can do my best to help.

<script type="text/javascript">
//Move "Hey X, you have X" around welcome table
//wooper

var Position = "3"; //set the position. 1 is above everything, 2 is above menu, 3 is below menu
var pm = document.getElementsByTagName('TD')[2];

var hey = pm.getElementsByTagName("FONT")[0].innerHTML;

pm.style.display="none";

if(Position == "1")
{
var cell = document.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")[1].insertRow(0).insertCell(0);
}
if(Position == "2")
{
var cell = document.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")[1].insertRow(1).insertCell(0);
}
if(Position == "3")
{
var cell = document.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")[3].insertRow(1).insertCell(0);
}
cell.colSpan = "2";
cell.align= "center";
cell.height="50";
cell.className = "windowbg";
cell.innerHTML = hey;
</script>


this code moves the hey x message x around the welcome table.

Cool well i appreciate any help/tips forthcoming....personally i will only learn as i go so its good to have people who have been there and done it so to speak. We kinda have a test part to try out codes and stuff which is something we're doing at the mo. How sort of familar are you with codes, i mean if we were to ask you for something we were looking for do you think you'd be able to point us in the right direction?

of course, I have a list of codes i have used on the board you saw. plus you have the coding database on proboards support. so if i cant help i will show you where to ask.

this is my board, includes the two codes i mention, i have opened it up so you can see what i mean.

it is not a talking forum, but a project i am doing, will close it in a few hours, but just to give you an idea what i mean.

shut it now, as i say it is my little project, but gladly need some proof readers in the future.

From what i read it looks like a good read. When you need a proof reader pm me.
