assassingod, thanks for a wonderous and simple hack.

Somebody said earlier that the divider was a bit harsh and they offered a suggestion. what i ended up doing was using an image as my divider. This can be done by making the following change to your 'forumdisplay_sepsai' template.

$announcement
<tr valign="top">
 <td colspan="10"><img src="{imagesfolder}/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr>

Just change the "clear.gif" reference to the image you want to use. You must change the height and width settings to the height and width of the new image though. If you do not know what that is, just remove it. You would then use a line simular to the following:

<img src="{imagesfolder}/InsertYourFileNameHere.gif" alt="">

I took mine a step further. It pulls a random image out of a directory and displays it in the divider spot.

See the image I have provided for an example of how mine looks or you can goto http://www.dungeonkeepersdomain.com and look in any of the forums for a working example. Reload the page and see if the image changes.

If you want to know how to do this, follow these instructions.

Note: Do this only after you have successfully installed this hack.

Make a directory under your {imagesfolder} directory called "divider" or whatever you want to call it and put all your images that you wish to pull from in there. Name them "1.gif", "2.gif", etc...

Edit your "phpinclude" template and add the following to the bottom of it:

$dividerimagenumber=rand(1,6);
$dividerimage="/divider/$dividerimagenumber.gif";

Note: Modify the "divider" to be the name of the directory you created under {imagesfolder}.

Note: Change the (1,6) to 1,the number of images in your "divider" directory). If you 25 images in your divider directory, it would says (1,25);

Save the "phpinclude" template.

edit your "forumdisplay_sepsai" template.

Replace the default values from the hack in this template with the following:

$announcement
<tr valign="top">
 <td colspan="10" bgcolor="#000000" align="center"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$dividerimage" alt=""></td>
</tr>

Note: Change the bgcolor="#000000" to any color you like. You can type in a 6-digit hex code (if you know it) or just replace the "#000000" with "black" or "red" or whatever.

That is pretty much it. Now when you load up a page where this hack is necessary, it will pull a random image from the "divider" folder and display it.
