ok, i just created this from the instructions above... it seems to be working, but my test-server loads everything so fast that i have no time to check out if the colors and stuff are ok :D
3 simple template additions do the job ;)
upload the attached image to your imagesfolder

edit template: header
-be sure to eleminate the spaces in: { imagesfolder } (otherwise it would show this board's url :D)
FIND:



JUST ABOVE THAT ADD:

<div id="hidepage" style="position: absolute; left:0px; top:0px; background-color: #FFFFFF; layer-background-color: #000000; height: 100%; width: 100%;">
<table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle">
<table width="50%" align="center" style="border: 1 solid">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="row1"><span class="genmed"><br /><b>Page Loading... please wait!</b><br /><br /><img src="{ imagesfolder }/loading.gif"><br /><br />This page still doesn't show? Click <span onclick="hideLoadingPage()" style="cursor:hand"><u>here</u></span><br /> </span></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

edit template: footer
FIND:

$copyrighttext
</smallfont></p>

JUST UNDER THAT ADD:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>

edit template: headinclude
FIND:

$headnewpm

JUST ABOVE THAT ADD:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

m8 10x for ur work but....

its not working after posting reply :\

it's not meant to be working like that (i just ported the phpbb version)
only thing it does is show a loading screen, then when the page is loaded, it removes the loading screen and you can see the page...
i think it's not very usefull for a bulletin board, but that's my personal choice :D

Now this is realy strange...after installing this, the pages are loading significant much faster then before. As a matter of fact, members are PM and mail that it's faster and that's remarkable. :) How is this possible?

it just LOOKS like it is much faster, but it actually isn't...
it can only be slower...

i'll explain you how it works, you'll see the point then ;)

-The page starts loading the html, at that point our script is taking over and is putting a layer in front of the website that says loading :D
-The page is loading normally, only thing is that there is a layer in front, so you won't see the actual page loading, you'll just see the layer...
-When the page is just at the end, it will remove the layer, and the page (which is fully loaded) will now be on the screen...

you have to edit templates, not files...
you can do this in your admin control panel...
very easy hack... should work 100% correctly on 2.2.6 also (although it's old... upgrade ;))
