3. Setup the Global Options through the vBulletin Options menu.

Looks like that fixed it. Thanks.

At my place this does not work with IE6, could be that this does not support IE6 ?

Seems so; IE 5 and 6 don't play nice with it. I'll see what I can do.

nice update bro....thanks a lot...

Can I make a suggestion? That in the configuration, you allow the user to specify x,y coordinates of where box will be located AND x,y dimensions of this box.

If you can do this, then the flash header part is not important, because the box can be put where the header is not.

Make sense?

Thanks

I'll consider putting it in.

If you'd like to modify it yourself; the following is the relevant area of the splashwarn_js template:

document.write('<div id="slashpage" style="position: absolute; z-index: 100; bottom:90px; left:275px; color: gray; background-color:$vboptions[splashbgcolor]; border: solid 1px black;">') //Main splashpage container
document.write('<div style="color:white;width:700px;height:150px;padding:5px;" class="splashtext" align="center">')

Red = Location of Pop-up
Blue = Dimensions of Pop-up

I made those mods and it is SWEET. The perfect addition.... I really think you will benefit by making those modifyable options, but in the meantime hand editing is GREAT.

Thank you again.
