The board offline message is a standard error message page which uses the text from the vboptions text box. AFAIK this is in every single php file and so changing it, while be very time consuming to do would all be code modifications and therefore wiped out at every upgrade. Changing the standard error message template would change it everywhere that it appears and it is used in a lot of messages that come up in various places throughout the site on a regular basis so this is not practical.

However, you can use HTML in the board offline message box in your vboptions, so you could make some minor changes there. It would still display as the same style of page but you can add images or other effects inside the box which contains the message.

i tried to put html code but i want to make a custom page and i have the html code and i out the code in the box and it didnt show anything if there is any way i wud like to use it nomero what

Like I said, this is not going to be possible without editing practically every single file of vBulletin and any additional files for modifications.

You can make changes to the text displayed in the box (the offline message) only by using HTML, but you cannot generate an entire new page.

Actually, you can do it with a single plugin and a custom template.

If I get time over the weekend, I'll do a quick product file for it.
