Edit the RED Colored Code to your needs

[Sycoloco1212]

alright now for the image i made this Direct Link: http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/5356/23092320gn6.jpg

so when you get done it will look like this.. Sorry image was to big to cut it out so that side << got cut off <Preview: http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/2...terexitme5.jpg >

Download the image close.jpg below first

now goto you sites directory or use FTP and goto

Public_Html - Forums - Images - Styles - YOUR THEMES FOLDER - Misc

now drop the close.jpg inside the MISC folder were i specified.. now it won't work just yet as you can see we used jpg... and we need gif.. so now right click the close.jpg and click rename "make sure its inside the misc folder before renameing" then rename it to close.gif ( for maximum quality ) then just save everything and now you should have a exit button..

now if you want it so when they close it, and refresh the page or goto a different page goto ( admin CP - vBulletin Options - Floating Guest Notify ) and set Closing behavior to NO then hit save

also you can see a demo here of everything: Http://mpgamerz.net Register if you want =)

[YuOr]

Installed, thanks!
Just my two cents
1. I attached the close.gif (just in case somebody is still looking for it). Right click on it and save
2. I uploaded gif to my style's misc folder, not forum/images/misc and now it works
