lol... I made the same thing today (look at my testboard)

There is a bug with the NewsFader, because of ONLOAD.

Where is your test board LK? I would like to see it in action

Well done, it looks sweet. Cheers mate.

Sorry man, great hack.. just 1 problem

well.. request

Can you devise a way to add images to tell if the person has dnd, away, brb on?

Yo, how bout if your msn doesn't work?
I d/l the new msn version, i can't open msn messanger, and it won't let me use MSN Messaging Centre, I would like this hack to work for me.
Can people IM people with this hack?

GogetaN, if your MSN doesn't work this hack shows a different message.

Looking on the test board and on the log-in screen, when people sign in, will their passwords be accessable to the admins in a file or something... or no...

No. They're passed directly to Microsoft. Sites can always change the code, but if it's the same as here it's secured.

Alright, I just don't want people logging into my account if the password is there.:)

Hmmm...well okay, I guess you did it first...BTW where did you find that PM Hack that's on the top of your test board?

Actually I made it half a hour after you, but I didn't see yours.
BTW, there are also idle1.gif and busy1.gif, but you don't need them as you don't need online1.gif.


The PM thing is Charles Capps' one, I just changed its UI and added a note to unregistered users aswell.

this is a really cool mod and i would like to use it but i use newsfader and this mod will not work with it as of right now.
is ther anyone that can fix the bug with the NewsFader.

In the original (vB) instructions they said:


(remove the *)

The question is to what are we supposed to change "scrollit"?

I suck at this area, maybe the people @ HTML/JavaScript forum can help.

good hack
converted it to work with muti hack has well if any one wants it please pm me

nice hack! working great on ubb6.04e, however, i had to remove some lines at the end, it wasn't working!

Yes, once again, fine hack..

altho..

I had to change the link to "open msn messenger main window".. because yours wasnt working. Just copied the link from http://msnmember.msn.com/ - good thing i use msn isp or I wouldnt of found it.. lol

I had a question before I install it. If you have like 6 contacts on line will it display them in one line likes who's online or will they will be listed in seperate rows?
Is there a way to list them in one row if this is not the way currently? Otherwise this can result in having a large cell being displayed with something small on left side and the rest of huge empty block.

Really nice hack btw!

Fixed the NewsFader thing


- Nick -, if you want the new code, PM me (and say you did, I have some problems with the email notification)

Awsome mod!!!

I have the Statistics hack also , when I modify the public_forum_summary.pl It is all messed up and the news mod does not work.

OK,
Here's my attempt:
http://lk.netfirms.com/msn.zip

It's not based on this one, and nothing is copied from this hack, it's based of what this hack is based of (or something like that)

You know where to see a preview.

Thanks guys, the mod works fine!
Two things do.

When I enter my user name and pass to check the homail and I hit Enter I get a error in my status bar and nothing happens.
When I hit the "go" buttonit works fine, it is only when you hit enter. I checked it on the testboard of LK and he has the same.

and second problem is bigger,
When I go into the CP and I go to the "Style Templets" and I click one to modify I the following message:



and I can change the templets or ad them.
I think it has something to do with the Hyper cell hack I have installed

Yep, it's about HyperCells.

I don't think this mod caused it.

Ok the second error is fixed,
Really strange it was in the cp_common.pl
somehow it got messed up in the prosses of the multihack procedure. I rehacked the file manually and no problems.

(I realised that this happend during the Chat mod from LK nothing to do with the MSN hack do)

<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="1">[ July 03, 2001 08:36 AM: Message edited by: maurice ]</font>

It can't be that, the problem is unidentified sub of hypercells, and has nothing to do with cp_common.pl.

But anyway, what were MultiHack's results in compare to the readme's?

<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="1">[ July 03, 2001 09:14 AM: Message edited by: LK ]</font>

Everyone should be using LK's version, it has a lot of bug fixes, mine caused some conflicts with News Fader.

Fixed the "enter bug".

Changed the .ZIP file name to msn.zip because I was bored

Upload the new mc.vbs

I took the comment out of line 77 and for some reason my News Fader is not working anymore. My board address is: http://www.nitrosim.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

Any Help would greatfully be appreciated

Nitro, where is your NewsFader?

The problem was that the news wasn't shown, but the table part (including the title and picture) was.

I think it's something else. Run backups and start over.

link down? (LKs)

LK's can be accessed by clicking on this link: http://members.nbci.com/lkubb/msn.zip

mmm, i just added the msn centre at the board, but it shows the hack but not my contacts online!

what can be wrong?

is it right that you only had to add the stuff to your public_forum_summary.pl file?

Yunkie34: Yes, that's right...

I've installed this hack, and it works wonderful, just one question, could you maybe add more pictures, so that you can see if someone is away, in dnd mode and stuff like that, that would really be extremly good!

Nice work!

mmm, thats weird than!

cause it doesn't work for me, this is what i get

Hi,

I installed this hack and it works perfect, except it doesn't work with the menu system as used on ubbdev (on top). It doen't fold out anymore. But it doesn't give a script error

Can anyone solve this prob ?

I've made a mistake in the non-NewsFader version, instead of # put //.

About the HeirMenu, you should find what triggers it and put it after the newsfader thing.


ZIP file updated if anyone needs it.

Hi,

Maybe it's just me but i don't get it hehehe

This the code i use (no newsfader). How can i see what triggers the menu ? En what sould i place there ?

I'm not a code-junkie. So it's kind off hard for me :))

I'm not really sure about it, but after the first line, put "function()". If it's incorrect, search for "onload" in HM_ScriptIE4.js and try to use any of these there.
