I have still one question:

is there a chance that I can use more fonts ? If yes how can I realize that ?

thanks,
Schorsch

The fonts included are the basic fonts that every system would have.

If you add more fonts, there will be compatibility problems. However, if you want to add more fonts, just add the new font's name as a new entry in the font drop-down.

thanks eiSecure, I'll try it!!

Hi friend,
Your hack is extremely cool ... I have wished for this for a long time ...

I have a small problem which I would like to ask you to see if there is a way to do this :

My site uses Unicode ... therefore, for the original textarea of the NEWTHREAD - NEWREPLY template, I did add in the call for a particular javascript. Hence, it looks like:

<textarea color="#FFFFFF" name="message" rows="20" cols="$textareacols" wrap="virtual" tabindex="2" onChange=getActiveText(this) onclick=getActiveText(this) onkeyup="initTyper(this);">$message</textarea><br>
<smallfont><script language="JavaScript1.2" src="../js/vietuni.js" type='text/javascript'></script> ..........

Since your hack uses iframe instead of textarea for the message, is there a way for me to maintain the call for that particular script (for example, using onkeyup="initTyper(this)) ...

Thanks for your help :squareeyed:

I have a couple Q's after seeing it.

1) How do you insert images (not attachements just the regular stuff in [img] tags. Do you post first then change it?

2) I was a little surprised when I hit preview. Maybe there is no alternative, but you have a nice editor here, it seems the preview should be WYSWIG too. Maybe preview is the wrong word.

Regards,

Matt

You insert images using the [img] tags.

[memobug]

Why not make it wyswig and insert them with a popup box? and show them in the display Is it too hard?

Just wondering!
