My forum is here.

Thanks

I have NEVER been so disgusted and sickened while viewing a forum!

Wait a minute ... scratch that. I was looking at my own forum.

How did you do the total hits?

And I liked it, by the way.

funinthesun · #13 12-07-2005, 10:27 AM

You had me worried there for a minute Boofo!

The total hits is a mod I found on here, the link is this.

Sorry about that.

Ahh, ok, that is for total thread views, actually. I thought it was for total hits/views on the forumhome page itself.

@Booby - Such a thing could easily be created

@funinthesun - Music I liked, but again, no off switch

And for more christmassy colours, go for Greens and Reds and Golds

I suggest rewriting your "welcome" message. The message does not flow.

The Christmas theme looks good; but ...
The snow flake images makes the site look "busy". Also, it makes it hard to read .. eg. white text on snow flake image background.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE remove the music!
Make the sound an option for your viewers -- NEVER, NEVER play music automatically.

Your random quote table needs adjustment ...
the height is due to the empty top-left cell and paragraph tags
Here's the code to fix (just copy and paste onto an html page and test):

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

I didn't write the message header, it is how it is when I installed the mod. How do I edit it? The music can be turned off in the edit profile options, I can change it so that it is set to no as default. How do I edit the code for the quote? This was also a mod I installed so I'm unsure. Thanks again for your honest comments

Princeton · #18 12-07-2005, 08:07 PM

I'm not familiar with the mod so I suggest posting the above code and asking someone for help on the mod thread.
