Hi ;)
This template modification is very interesting.
If you "install" that modification, browser statusbar on your forum will be very interesting..

How to add this modification :

1. Go to admincp/styles&Templates/Style Manager/Edit templates/ Footer
2.
Above
<br />
<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>
<br />
Add this :

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- StatusBar forum name by Kiril_Cvetkov-->
var forum_message = "$vboptions[bbtitle] "
var str = ""
var vbulletin_name = ""
var leftforum_message = ""

function setMessage()
{
if (vbulletin_name == "")
{
str = " "
vbulletin_name = forum_message
leftforum_message = ""
}

if (str.length == 1)
{
while (vbulletin_name.substring(0, 1) == " ")
{
leftforum_message = leftforum_message + str
str = vbulletin_name.substring(0, 1)
vbulletin_name = vbulletin_name.substring(1, vbulletin_name.length)
}
leftforum_message = leftforum_message + str
str = vbulletin_name.substring(0, 1)
vbulletin_name = vbulletin_name.substring(1, vbulletin_name.length)
for (var ii = 0; ii < 120; ii++)
{str = " " + str}
}
else
{
str = str.substring(10, str.length)
}
window.status = leftforum_message + str
JSCTimeOutID = window.setTimeout('setMessage()',100)
}

</SCRIPT>
<body onload="JSCTimeOutID = window.setTimeout('setMessage()',500);">
</body>

OK.. now go on your forum index and see the statusbar (see the screenshot where you will have to see :) )

I'm guessing this is an IE only modification... Mozilla Firefox doesn't read it.

Guys, the coder already replied that he is aware of the problems with FireFox (and even requested assistence in solving it). no need to keep posting that it does not work on FF, he already knows that.

the template code is working good :)
If you are using mozilla go to tools/options/content -> find "Enable Java Script" -> click on Advanced -> and turn on : Change status bar text and the template will working good ;)
