Code:

<!-- rainbow text initialize -->
<script type="text/javascript"> 
<!--
nickmausac('rainbow');

Which is not the smartest way of doing this anyway, you should just edit it to the URL of your forum, something like:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/forums/clientscript/rainbow.js"></script>

if your forum is in the "/forums/" directory or just:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/clientscript/rainbow.js"></script>

if your forums are in the root. That will work on vb3 or 4.

Thankyou. works like it did on vb3 now

dont suppose thers anyway of getting rainbow to show up in chatbox and active in last 24 hours

After I did a clean install on the same server and with the same vB install, rainbows suddenly stopped working. I put the .js file back in the clientscript, templates still had the old changes, so I'm not sure what's wrong.

PS. What's that ASCII mode?

i just see the colour static, and not in movement.
