Information Bar for Guests

Information Bar for Guests (for version 3.5.0)

What is this?
This will display an information bar across the top of the browser window that appears to be like the Information Bar that is from Windows XP SP2. When the user clicks it they will be sent to the registration page for your forums. This is not a popup.

If the user is logged in then this will not display at all. This only appears on the page for people who are not logged in.

No need to be sorry, tis interesting to say the least but not knowing code.. I do not know how or why.

keep checking back though. maybe someone may know the reason as to why the header template is not loading.

I seem to have that tlittle gap at the top as well. Please let me know if you figure it out.

Thanks,

honestly have no clue what is causing that gap. it only shows up in like 2 of the installs done. i looked and the code appears to be fine. i have no clue why the gap is there. but i'll go over your source code again and see if i can find anything.

I've looked at what I did to see if anything could be adding aline break, but cannot seem to find it. I wonder if it could be some other change/hack?

[Slapyo]

what other hacks do you have installed?

[dsboyce8624]

All of em. Jeeze a damn big list. If you don't find anything by other means don't waste your time.

Thanks though, at least you tired.

[Slapyo]

do you have the one hack installed that takes away the white space? i dunno, for whatever reason i'm thinking it could be that hack. another person used that hack and had the same problem. but none of their other hacks had anything to do with the templates that mine touched really. so i think it may be that hack. not sure. if you do have that hack installed, maybe uninstall it and see if it fixes itself. i don't know how hard it is to uninstall that hack. but that is the only thing i can think of.

You mean the compress templates hack?

Yes I have that one, not the one that compresses pages as they are generated.

I will uncompress and see what happens.

No change.
