Info Box when starting new thread

This small modification will add a Info Box that is shown when a new thread is started.

It can be used to "remember" the users to follow the posting guidelines.

open admincp:
styles & templates -> Style Manager -> edit templates -> New posting templates -> newthread

look for:

<tr>
	<td class="tcat">
		<span class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]"><strong>$vbphrase[forum]</strong>: <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]">$foruminfo[title]</a></span>
		$vbphrase[post_new_thread]
	</td>
</tr>

below add your code

<tr>
	<td class="panelsurround">
<div class="panel">

<b><font size="4">Important:</font></b>

<ul>
<li>Rule 1:</li>
<li>Rule 2:</li>
<li>Rule 3:</li>
</ul>

If you do not follow this advice your post will be ignored or deleted.
	</td>
</tr>

If you want multiple lines under the Rules i.e.

• Rule 1:
  Make sure that.....
  and please do not...
  oh and you should never
• Rule 2:
  Make sure that.....
  and please do not...
  oh and you should never

you have to use </br> at the point you want the text to start in a new line.

i.e.

<tr>
	<td class="panelsurround">
<div class="panel">

<b><font size="4">Important:</font></b>

<ul>
<li>Rule 1:</li>
 </br>Make sure that.....
 </br>and please do not...
 </br>oh and you should never
<li>Rule 2:</li>
 </br>Make sure that.....
 </br>and please do not...
 </br>oh and you should never
<li>Rule 3:</li>
 </br>Make sure that.....
 </br>and please do not...
 </br>oh and you should never
</ul>

If you do not follow this advice your post will be ignored or deleted.
