Hey,

I am using slashubb to SSI one forums news posts not too disimilar from how you do it here

What I want to do is change the color of the copyright notice at the bottom of the page - the Copyright by Flare.

I don't want to delete it because I believe in the theory credit where credit is due. But I'd like to make it slight less conspicuous maybe to a #CCCCCC font color.

However when I add <FONT COLOR tags to the code I get an error with my SSI.

This is the copyright code from the slash ubb ::::


if ($save_to_file) {
open(FILE,">$NonCGIPath/slashubb.htm");
print FILE $PAGE;
print FILE "
<center><FONT SIZE="-1"><i>SlashUBB v1.3 Copyright 2000 by Flare</FONT></I></center>
";
close(FILE);
chmod(0644,"$NonCGIPath/slashubb.htm");
} else {
print "Content-type: text/htmlnn";
print $PAGE;
print "
<center><FONT SIZE="-1"><i>SlashUBB v1.3 Copyright 2000 by Flare</FONT></I></center>
";
print "</body></html>";

I believe that the font color must be being called as the same font color for the post text color.

How do I change this please ????

so you're saying that this doesn't work:

if ($save_to_file) {
open(FILE,">$NonCGIPath/slashubb.htm");
print FILE $PAGE;
print FILE "
<center><FONT SIZE="-1" color="#CCCCCC"><><i>SlashUBB v1.3 Copyright 2000 by Flare</FONT></I></center>
";
close(FILE);
chmod(0644,"$NonCGIPath/slashubb.htm");
} else {
print "Content-type: text/htmlnn";
print $PAGE;
print "
<center><FONT SIZE="-1" color="#CCCCCC"><i>SlashUBB v1.3 Copyright 2000 by Flare</FONT></I></center>
";
print "</body></html>";

If that doesn't work, I'm mystified.

Hey Empire dude,

I found the problem shortly after posting here but I haven't until now had chance to post an update.

What was wrong was I had made a typo.

ie. I'm English and we spell COLOR COLOUR

Old habits die hard.

Thanks for your help anyhows !!

TotalNewbie: Can you e-mail the SlashUBB setup to me, or post a link to it. The one in the database hasn't worked in ages and I can't find it. Thanks! neal@gamerforums.net
