Hello,
This is a very small modification and in the same time it is my first hack.

What it does: when you turn your forum off, the letters for what ever you write in the field for the reason of closing the forum will be moved (like typing).

Time to install: ~ 1 sec.

Demo: Click here.

How to install: in the field for the reason of closing the forum, just place the content with the following: (of course you can change the content reason).

PHP Code:
<span id="typing">


Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment while we are testing some functionality.
<br>
We will be back soon...
<br>

</span>

<script type="text/javascript">

interval = 100; // Interval in milliseconds to wait between characters

if(document.getElementById) {
  t = document.getElementById("typing");
  if(t.innerHTML) {
    typingBuffer = ""; // buffer prevents some browsers stripping spaces
    it = 0;
    mytext = t.innerHTML;
    t.innerHTML = "";
    typeit();
  }
}

function typeit() {
  // mytext = mytext.replace(/<([^<])*>/, "");     // Strip HTML from text
  if(it < mytext.length) {
    typingBuffer += mytext.charAt(it);
    t.innerHTML = typingBuffer;
    it++;
    setTimeout("typeit()", interval);
  }
}
</script>

Works for me in Firefox (for Mac) as well as Camino...

Do you at least see the text (just without the typing effect?)

Great Tip, however:

This isn't a template modification... People that post outstanding tutorials don't get credit for installs (which is a shame).... Why should this?

This is not a tutorial. "+_-

So, where do you think I should post it?

If you liked it, just click install.

It's more of a "tutorial" than anything, it's a "how to". It doesn't belong in this area, it does not modify a template in any way.

No, I didn't install it, I was being "nice" by saying it was a great tip, I'm really not big on the typing... (it's called "be nice and tell them the bad news..." )

So, I posted it here ..

You're welcome:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=110

I'm not trying to be rude but this does NOT qualify as a template modification. Period.

I've had staff bugging me for things that were very minute, and yet this is far from a template mod and is still here, go figure... (didn't Kall mention this fact? )

Yeah, but that was before I was staff, and had this big stick, and Kerry-Anne to do it anyway.
