I'm using Element skin & its working fine for me.. http://www.golpo.net/forum/?styleid=4 Check it out ang2el.. btw did u edit ur header/navbar template in element skin?

I don't know what went wrong with element skin, I had to edit header template and then it worked out but it would be painful if I have to edit template evertime I upgrade this hack.

Ted - been using this mod for a long time now and it certainly has made a difference to posting and registration rates - thanks.

We approve all new accounts and new members see the "Welcome new posters! " message inviting them to post after they have validated their email address and activated their account but before we have approved their account. This generates an occasional "You say to post but when I try to the system says I can't" emails - have you considered adding a separate welcome-header message for "users awaiting moderation"?

Upgrading the hack will not require you to edit any templates. however, if you upgrade a style and remove the $welcomeheaders code, you will need to go back and re-edit.

Thanks for the feedback Darat.

Not many forums seem to approve members so I have not added that feature. However, it is very simple to add to the welcome headers and as I always say... what I provide is just meant to get you started, I encourage you to add whatever messages suit your site.

Ted, just to let you know your version 4.1.2 xml file still has the version 4.1.1 tag in it.

have installed it, thank you :)

Can someone please tell me how to change the background color of the welcome message to red and the text to white? I don't know what tags to use. Apparently the body tag doesnt work for changing the background.

Thanks!

Thanxx for posting this LINK Ted S. I know so very little of html and this will help me out!

Btw, your Welcome Headers Product is just superb. It is well thought out and functions perfectly. Kudos on a job-very-well-done!

Thanks so much! Great hack. Clicked Install. :)
