... the design is wonderful!
I've already utilized your emoticon stuff! (Long story as to how I found my place here, too!)
Great job - keep up the good work!

and thanks for droping by, its nice to see who and how many are using the scripts.
I like your forum, the layout is great, it makes this forum look bloated and over done but if I can think up and create scripts that will make our boards more functional, I include it or is that show it off

Now that I think of it, I think I ended up here after doing a search on the Admin forum - for emoticons, that is... And I think I got to Anthrax's forum and found my way here when I looked up the source code...
Overdone - no, not really. It's just great - don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Bloated was this forum of mine:
http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/126178
when I had the background in the "Thorny's Portal" table also on the background of the forum, fixed - it took forever to download (and even crashed my unstable-of-late browser a couple of times when I tried to view individual threads - but that's just me [the forum owner] - <grin>)...

You didn't happen to have your board translucent did you, the translucent option is to processor intent.
My pc is as old as they come and doesn't take to well to the filtering option

Check it out, I've added the "alt" attribute to my emoticons, too!

I get so pissed off with large forums who deside to make there boards translucent, there's noway to Escape it, I make it my duty to avoid them.
Steven (nw54) said a while ago he updated it, as to no image no translucenty, which was a good idea

Quote: I've added the "alt" attribute to my emoticons

makes all the difference, I like some of the alt text you've added, So thats what the spinning head is... I like it


I had a play around and noticed the HyperLink:

<a href="http://**URL here, please!!** " target="_blank">*your description of the URL - either itself or what you want it to be*</a>

if the url is used as the description, the "http://" has to be removed cause otherwise the description will be converted to a hyperlink, creating a link inside a link.


BTW have you noticed sometimes that images don't always show leaving you with red X's, as its just happened again with your sig... The problem seems to be with the old url, I updated all the url's that I could with the "www. included and I've noticed now the with my forum I get the X's at times only with images prior the date of the url change

I'll see about the hyperlink.
As for the sig, I don't have problems unless I look at the sucker offline... Lemme see what I can do.

... per the request of my friend.

I thought about it once and thought na... but now that you have done it and I see that its a handy feature to have, you've prompted me into thinking "I'm going to include it into the scripts on the script page and maybe on the menubar as well" thanks, seeing it in action has prompted me.

Someone ages ago over at the admin forum ask about a post rules link possably in the bar above, next to the "return to index" link and again with your "Please NOTE!" text at the bottom of your forum, you've prompted me again, so I'm looking into it again... have a look here at my Test forum. you'll need to view a message or post a message to see the link

have any more ideas???

Well, I also added in a "text sizer" (LOL)... I, too, have a test forum (but it has restricted access) and I'm testing that, you know, background for text - the highlighting! I can't seem to get it straight, though... Will try some more...
I couldn't understand what it was I was supposed to see in your test forum. I saw that cute little box at the bottom with the link to other forums - that's cool.

Here is that part of the code:

document.write("<a href='javascript:FTxt("+'"'+"<span style='background-color: #FFFF00'> </span> "+'"'+")'><span style='background-color: #FFFF00'> </span></a> " )

document.write("<a href='javascript:FTxt("+'"'+"<span style='background-color: #00FF00'> </span>"+'"'+")'><span style='background-color: #00FF00'> </span></a> " )

document.write("<a href='javascript:FTxt("+'"'+"<span style='background-color: #CC99FF'> </span>"+'"'+")'><span style='background-color: #CC99FF'> </span></a> ")

I think I see what your trying to do...
You want to give selected text a different color back ground. here I used the font tag instead of the span tag.

<font style="background:red;">color back ground</font>

I still can't get it to work, <weep weep weep>!

Argh! Just what is my mistake here, for goodness' sake???

document.write("<a href='javascript:FTxt("+'"'+"<font style='background-color: #FFFF00'>Yellow text background</font> "+'"'+")'><font style='background-color: #FFFF00'>Yellow</font></a> <a href='javascript:FTxt("+'"'+"<font style='background-color: #00FF00'>Green text background</font>"+'"'+")'><font style='background-color: #00FF00'>Green</font></a> <a href='javascript:FTxt("+'"'+"<font style='background-color: #CC99FF'>Purple</font>"+'"'+")'><font style='background-color: #CC99FF'>Purple</font></a> ")

On the message or post page where the "Return to Index" link is, well next to that link your see a link named "Etiquette" which will be a link to a new window for posting rulez

document.write("<a href='javascript:FTxt("+'"'+"<font style='background:#FFFF00'>Yellow text background</font> "+'"'+")'><font style='background:#FFFF00'>Yellow</font></a> <a href='javascript:FTxt("+'"'+"<font style='background:#00FF00'>Green text background</font>"+'"'+")'><font style='background:#00FF00'>Green</font></a> <a href='javascript:FTxt("+'"'+"<font style='background:#CC99FF'>Purple</font>"+'"'+")'><font style='background:#CC99FF'>Purple</font></a> ")

hehehe.. The problem was just the wording "background", its the same I get messed up with all the time

Does that work? I can't get it to...

Say, have you seen these guys?

Don't answer that
Very sorry to stuff you around, I didn't look at the code properly, here is the correct code

Yellowback='<font style="background:#FFFF00">Yellow background</font>'; greenback='<font style="background:#00FF00">green background</font>'; purpleback='<font style="background:#CC99FF">Purple background</font>'; document.write("<a href='javascript:FTxt(Yellowback)'><font style='background:#FFFF00'>Yellow</font></a> <a href='javascript:FTxt(greenback)'><font style='background:#00FF00'>Green</font></a> <a href='javascript:FTxt(purpleback)'><font style='background:#CC99FF'>Purple</font></a> ");

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
It works! Yay! Lemme go put it on there...
