That's what I get for copying someone elses post, lol. My bad.

No idea, its not on-the-fly code - its a PNG file that is displayed over a JPG image with a transparent background.

I don't really recommend that many characters anyways; but I would think larger strings might cause a problem (it probably can't find a random place to put it).

Colors are done lines 94-101. I don't use black or grey, so might be your setup.

Thanks!

Would it be possible to have the log going to the database instead of a file?

My users are loving this.

Installed:
http://www.arcadecrazy.com/thearcade/wall.php

yea it is it would make another query tho and you would have to add a new table with a text area and a ip area but with the log being in a file its that much easier to edit

I use a flat file for the simple reason that I didn't want to write up an install script for the mod; keeping it as simple as possible to install/use. Writing the data to a database means having a method of reading it and possibly doing other things with it and I didn't want to write an entire Admin Module for it.

Also, I found that when I wiped the wall after X posts, users would figure this out and write junk to the board so that they could get a clean board from which to post their stuff. It kind of defeated the purpose since people could predictibly erase the board and those who posted towards the end got the least amount of exposure. You might be better off using some kind of random number instead of a fixed one.

Do you think there will be a template version so that one can put the wall in a table in the custom template to fit in with the board design.

Maybe someday; but its not on my short list. Depends how much of a demand there is for it and what my time is like.

i got it to fit with a board the board design on my site DW it's not actually that hard :)

which random colour is the brown, i really want to remove that, it's annoying as **** lol :)

I'm getting this

any ideas?

I'd say your path is incorrectly set. Should be:
