go for it, my members loved this for vb2, so I am grateful you did this for vb3, if you need the rockin' out mullet smilie, I will attach it just in case

I installed this and my members are using and loving it. The only thing they have mentioned is that sometimes they forget to fill in the form, and would like to go back and edit thier song in or correct their spelling mistakes in the song title etc.

Would there be a way to modify a template or one of the php pages in order to show the "now playing" field after a member clicks his or her edit button?

Just curious

[Brad]

It is not hard to add that to the modification but I dont have time to document the changes atm, ill post them later on today when I find the time.

It's nice Sixxgunzz but the fieldset/legend lines are always white and on a dark style it looks terrible. Is there a way to color the lines in these fieldset blocks?

[MindTrix]

Hey Dan, you might want to add in the instructions when editin the postbit template, to edit the postbit_legacy one aswell

[Dan]

I will when i get home... not home at this current time... it is simple to do though.

I was looking thru the templates and couldn't find the info that tells vb what the legend is supposed to look like, all we have to do is find where that is and then it should be easy as pie.

[SiXXGuNNZ]

it is easy, in the style's css

legend
{
 color: #22229C;
 font: 11px tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

[NuclioN]

in the extra css box i've added this as a replacement for the default fieldset:

.fieldset {
  border: 2px groove #778;
  padding: 2px;
  margin-bottom: 4px;
}
.legend {
  position: relative;
  top: -1em;
  left: 0.5em; 
  background-color: #445;
  font-size: x-small;
}
.fieldset p {
  margin-top: -5px;
}

were the colorcode can be altered

hey got a problem
I want to

1. Limit the characters that can be input in this field because it can squish the postbit up.
2. When posting with a new thread, i get one of the de-notations as used in the code as in <--- Now Playing then it goes to the box
3. I want to write above the input "Song now playing: (Not Required)
4. I want to be able to have this input box BELLOW the post where you can add attachments etc.
