Umm, see how on my forum

www.shadow-designs.com/vb

it has just a little box and it says closed with a message

how do i make it an image, so they cant see the style and banner and crap??

cuz im tryin to make it cuz im changin the original style... and i dont want anyone to see it before i finish

well, its not really possible because it has the forum header and footer... so you would have to wipe out those templates and i am sure you dont want to do that :p

only easy solution is place a blank index.php in the main forum directory.

or move all the files out of the /vb/ directory and move them to another directory where you can work on the forums.

If you manualy hack the board you can change it so insted of evaluating the board closed template in global.php it echo's the <img> code you want there.

:( im lost lol, but i was also thinkin that index.php, but if i did that i couldnt test out the new style

it's kind of easy :)

open your global.php

find that:
// check that board is active - if not admin, then display error
if (!$bbactive) {
if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel']) {
eval("standarderror(\"".str_replace("\'", "'", addslashes($bbclosedreason))."\");");
exit;
}
}

and change to:
// check that board is active - if not admin, then display error
if (!$bbactive) {
if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel']) {
echo '<center>' .$bbclosedreason .'</center>';
exit;
}
}
