yeah, since I had so many conflicting parts of the user profile, it was easier to restart than to search through all the code from all the hacks

does that mean there is a compact header version of this, or is it only for you?

This board is using colorforums since UBB 6.2 or so, and the colorforums code we use here is very lame (you can click on View Source in your IE, just see how many lines each image requires) about compact headers - it changes only the top part of some public_*.pl files, and some parts in public_common.pl file, so you can check the compact headers thread and try to port it... yet if at first you don't succeed, try try to ask me to do it

ok, now I got a weird problem (probably makes sense to you ) my games page is using some of the css, but not others. I can use tdheader, etc, but not font tags, or even the scrollbar formatting. I'm clueless on how this can do this. Who's my favorite admin

off-topic, in shoutbox, you see: [/code]replace it with:[code] (and in the end of the line add another ) because now the time is first with class=small and then class=time, which makes it x2 smaller...

There's some css in the base code that may be overriding yours. If you have a question, especially about display issues, if you could post a link to exactly where you are seeing the problems, this could be answered much more specifically and easily

oh, ok... the games.cgi file hasn't been updated for css... I didn't do it because most people don't use it yet... you'll need to update it with the classes whereever you see a font tag

I did that, that's the weird thing. the css is used for the colors, and the font style, but not the scrollbar and font size. it uses some of the body tag part of the css file, but not the rest. Can you help almighty css god?

just checking the first one, you don't have anything specified for the scrollbars and you're using several different specifications for font size... not all of them will work. Run your css files through the validator at w3.org http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.alforadmin.com/ubb/css/WWFWG.css&warning=1&profile=css2 start there

but why does all of the css I've done work on EVERY page except the game page? The scrollbars work on the rest of my board. The font sizes work on the rest of my board. The font colors and background colors, along with font style all work on the games page, but the scrollbar and fontsize don't. Compare http://www.alforadmin.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi and http://www.alforadmin.com/cgi-bin/games.cgi . they both use the same stylesheet, yet on one the scrollbar and fontsize are correct, and the other it isn't.

start with fixing the errors in your css file then we can be sure it's not that It could be the doctype I've added to the startpage sub, it will send your browser into strict mode, which is fine, if your code is up to snuff

Or instead you could remove the doctype from games.cgi ()

and all 30 wrote it poorly The first thing you do when you are having html/css display problems is validate your code... it makes sure it isn't something written poorly that is causing the problem For a better explanation: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2003/05/05/why_we_wont_help_you.html

zip file updated for fixes in frost.css (to make it validated), public_polls.pl and public_common.pl (possibly makes the emails look like without the mod)

yes. if you want to use the new ones and still let the old ones get parsed, in ubb_lib_posting, instead of REPLACING, just ADD BELOW. (it's a bug that it wasn't like that at the first place, sorry ) fixed the zip file

perfect, the last thing I can think of to make this better is this...
If I want to remove a skin, and someone is using it, there forums will be unformatted. Is there anyway to make it so if the skin name that he has chosen is no longer choosable, that it would go to the default?

this hack also makes making a spoiler hack a breeze  You also made the coding very intuitive, so it was easy making other images change with the styles
