See above. :classic:

yah heh, i replied before i got to page 5. :P

to make it a bit more realistic, I placed that sound in the <td>:

<embed src="balloon.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true"></embed>

could not upload the wav file, so get it from your pc c:\windows\media

update to 1.04

i added in the balloon.wav sound like Lionel suggested. the zip now contains the sound file.

to update follow these directions:
- upload balloon.wav
- install file contains new header template modification

I run firefox and it looks good to me....

The sound file is creating an unecessary <br /> from my topmargin="0", so I removed it and place in navbar.

actually you don't have to put it there. i just noticed it myself after you mentioned it and i moved it so it is inside the div infobar tags and there is no longer a gap.

looks like this now:

i am using opera with xpsp2

and it works fine

Great Mod! Works great on my site ib both IE and Firefox.

However, just as an FYI, it does not work in the latest Netscape Beta, version 0.5.6

Other than that, great stuff!

What version of Firefox is it working with?

that sound is very annoying.. I won't be using that.

thanks ... atleast it is working in alot of the major browsers. wasn't working in firefox at the beginning but i got that fixed. works in ie, firefox, and opera.

heh, that sound is the default sound for the information bar found in the c:\windows\media folder
just remove the <embed> tags and that's it.

as far as i know firefox .8 and 1.

this is comming along real well and I am installing it now that it has a wider browser support. Good work!

i'm interested to hear if this will actually increase the number of registrations on boards. for those that have the referrerid in the URL let me know if you see an increase in registrations.

i've recieved 1 from it so far ... then again my forum doesn't get all that much traffic cause it is new.

Very cool.. clicks install

5.0 version

This hack looks bad in Opera browser.
I hope will fixed soon...

Thank's for nice hack!

can you please take a screenshot and post it up so i can see. i do not have opera so i don't know. it is all done with standard css. this just means that opera isn't displaying the css properly. but i will see if i can find a work around.

I want to insert the login block in the information bar...anyone can help me with this?

very cool! installed!

are you talking about having the username/password and login button in the bar at the top? if so, you basically just need to view the source of the forums and find the <form></form> that wraps the login section. then you would need to modify it so that it fits without distorting the bar.

also i wanna say that this works in 3.0.5 with no changes. i upgraded just fine.

Is not that simple, I tried that...but is not working...

be careful playing with that block, you might mess up your forum.

i know it isn't as simple as i said, but those are the basic steps you need to take.

like lionel said ... it could mess things up so be careful.

i've been curious to see how this would work out. when i started it on my forum i had 0 referrals. i now have 15 referrals. so in a month and a half it has given me 15 people. now that may not be all that much for some boards out there. but i have a tiny site right now and am just trying to get word spread. needless to say, i'm very pleased about the results.

has anyone else noticed an increase in user sign-ups from using this?

Wow. This is really nice. I'll be adding it to my boards, good job! The way it's put there... it's perfect at making people register, it's really good.

dito

Many Thanks :)

Works great, thank you alot for your work, awesome job

works in 3.0.5 & 3.0.6 versions. you may have to redo your templates because the upgrade may require you to revert your templates. easy enough.

i found one browser it doesnt work with: safari (apple's)

thanks, i'll make note of that.

i just upgraded to 3.0.7 and it works with no changes needed.

Works with 3.0.7, I just upgraded.

Very Nice Hack !!

Great idea for a hack! Thanks for the work

*Installed*

worked like a charm!

This is an amazing idea and will work great with my welcome headers. Thanks and good jbo!

I'm having a small issue with this. I'm running vba_cmps in my root dir and the fourm on a sub domain. Everything works like a charm on the forum, but on the cmps home page in the root dir, all I get is this ugly looking, underlined link. Have a look-see here. Is there any way to fix this so it works in both locations. I've uploaded the files into the sub domain.

Thanks,
Mike

<Edit>Got it fixed by uploading the files into the root dir as well. Works both locations now.

Thanks
