I'll probably make an mhp if LK doesn't do it first smile I'll wait in case there's a bugfix or 2 to add in.

We've been running a version of this since 6.3 smile

CSS is extremely useful these days, Ed. You can edit an unbelieveable amount of information on your pages by changing just a few lines of CSS code, such as colours, image sources, page backgrounds... It's really useful. smile You could also use it for style rotators, if you have the time... wink

It reduces bandwidth and download times as well, making your site zippier and reducing the expenses a bit smile

If that's true, is there anyway to use CSS with something like LK's MyStyle hack?

now I feel like an idiot frown

I'm gonna convince the head of the my boards to test this (I'm trying to get him to let me have a test board for the hacks). If it does work, where would I get other CSS templates? I know I can make my own, but are there other ones already made?

Other CSS templates? You mean other enhancements for Allen's CSS templates, or the regular modifications changed to work with AllenTemplates? (or other CSS versions of templates?)

css65.zip updated - ubb_lib.cgi NOSCRIPT line changed; added instructions at top of css.txt; renamed "css.zip" to "css65.zip"

Allen, can you please make the MHK file?
Also may I post the version which includes your templates in 6.5 beta forum? (if you wish, you can post it yourself there, including my css style changer cause you made the difficult part, so you deserve most credit)

Allen, I'm having a few problems using this inside an existing CSS file; I pasted the stuff from the Frost example CSS file into my existing file and edited it to change the colours, but it won't work. Am I doing anything wrong?

Sorry, sorry, but it wouldn't be much help anyway tipsy

CSS file: http://www.iphq.co.uk/styles/purple.css
UBB: http://www.iphq.co.uk/65cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

(The UBB will only be there until I have the CSS templates fully working, then it will be gone; it's basically just a test board at the moment)

CTM, uhh, this board doesn't have CSS templates tipsy so it only uses the CSS file for stuff like background color, text color, etc and not for the rest.

Cool laugh now can you please test the CSS style changer? (also it'd be better for you to test it as soon as possible because many template files and frost css file are different, so you don't have to beyond compare them, just overwrite; and also it has some bugfixes and additions to allen's css templates: for example in your board, in topic page the "Posts: X" and poster names are in black, and in the css style changer templates + cgi changes it's in your text color)

Also, one other thing I meant to ask, LK... Could you list the changes I need to make to my live board just to squash the bugs in the templates? (ie. PDNs, post counts in black, etc.)

The PDN/post counts bug: in frost.css I added a new class (I forgot its name), and also I think it's somewhere in ubb_lib_posting.cgi. (in css.txt instructions) Basically look at every step in css.txt instruction file, and if you think it's for the css style template changer don't change it, if it looks like it's for css compatibility modify.

BTW you know, in the css style template changer, you can also choose to change the images (bb title, new topic, new reply, new poll, edit post, pm, print topic, and many others) per set.

Still a couple of bugs in public_common and public_forum_page, and also public_edit_profile, IIRC... Mainly to do with time text frown Allen, have you updated the zip with LK's fixes? I'd love to get this working perfectly cause it's such a great idea smile
