First off when you post the code tags on a forum to put a string of text as code how do you change the color that displays in?

Ive looked though the templates but dont see it.

And secondly how do you show users icq,aim,msn status on the board? i read you uncomment it in the template but it dosnt look commented in mine anyway

Any help welcome thanks in advance

1. To change the code tag format, you need to open the admin/functions.php file. Then find lines 397 and 398 - you can change it all there. You can use the <font color="whatever"> to change the color.

2. Do you mean in the profile template? Or on all posts? Or where? :)

I see the 2 lines they look like this
where do i put the font?

Sorry i was unclear on the other point i need the icq etc to appear on all posts

Thanks for the help

1. After the <smallfont> tag in both lines should do the trick.
2. About halfway down the postbit template (in your CP), there should be a line like this:
Change to:

The icq thing is working perfectly i cant thank you enough

But the other thing gives me a parse error any ideas?

Make sure that if you use any "s, you precede them with a \
eg:

"</normalfont><blockquote><pre><smallfont><font color=\"silver\">code:</smallfont><hr>\\5<hr></pre><normalfont></blockquote>",
"</normalfont><blockquote><pre><smallfont><font color=\"silver\">code:</smallfont><hr>\\5<hr></pre><normalfont></blockquote>",

im entering this and having no luck at all the code tag text is still staying black

Whoops that is the wrong place, sorry.

Try this:
Hopefuly that will work a bit better :)

That still didnt do it lol
Not having much luck here?

Anyone else any ideas ????
