that would be cool too AN, but truthfully im not to familar with vb3 yet, they pissed me off a lot with their major changes, so i have kinda been avoiding hacking my board much. Thats why you havnt seen many hacks from me since vb3...

Mar, i look forwards to seeing you there, hopefully you will share some of your customizations :)

Eh, drop downs are not all they are cracked up to be, plus limited browser support for them

iframes have also very little support also;)

Eh, iframes are much better supported than javascript is :p

yeah iframes are pretty well accepted by browsers these days, the only problem i see with using iframes is an iframe in every post would just be kinda much... but a drop down isnt an entire new page load... hmm another alternative could be a image created and cached with gd, and on level up or equip change a new image is created...

GD sounds like the best granted the server has gd :)

yes however its the most complex, and if people want to move around information, they will have to figure out the gd coding rather than an html template.

Ups and downs, you could generate a host of images, which would probaly be worse, however then it would be back to a template sorta. if you understand what im saying

well images like character, and such already are created, no need to generate those.. The benifit of using iframes is that it would use the RCS template system for the templates, with a vb hack and if statement in the template to call the iframe or not.

If its an iframe it can use rcs globals, and would all around be easier, GD would involve a lot of coding, and hassle to customize, and drop downs woulnt fully be suported, and would involve having vb do some more queries.

They all have their ups and downs, i just havnt decided which to go with, i guess i wanna see how a hidden iframe in the post bits of people with characters will handle.

Zero, I never got my confirmation email at your forum. Can you pelase send me another one?
