Dslam,<br /><br /> I have to agree with Dave on this one. You can always view a source file and see how things are done. Most anyone here knows how to do that. I think any one of us here could rip off someone's work that way. There are some things we may know how to do that we do not do. Unless you are willing to make the code changes yourself and DESIGN your own graphics it is customary that one waits for the hack to be released. Otherwise that is just plain theft. <br /><br /> Dave gave plently of pointers on how to do this. He even told everyone which files. It is an easy mod. I for one look forward to designing quite a few graphic designs once Dave releases this hack. Until then everything is just in the testing stages.

oh come on dave I'm pulling your leg buddy . ok ok I was pulling both legs but it's all in good fun <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> hehe <br />sorry I'm in one of my moods today .. <br />I'm waiting on your release of the files .. <br /> <br />Dave Smile come on Big smile <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

LMAO I just pointed out "cache" chill I am not even playing with that I'm to damn busy making my site get 500 errors <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[]guy's you don't have to wait for the release of these you now LMAO <br /><br />little thing called cache , the css & images will be there <br />then edit tbopen and tbclosed templates...<br />come on guy's thought you guy's are a little more advanced then that hehe .. sorry it's one of my bad habits to sort through my cache [/]<br /><br />I robbed JustDave by viewing source on his test site and I figured out how he was making the table borders. Once I had a grip on the concepts involoved I designed my own graphics and created my own CSS classes. Then I editted the tbopen and tbclose templates myself.<br /><br />I was joking about robbing JustDave -I would never directly copy anyone elses work. I will "steal" ideas though <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The only sad thing now is that when someone says something like that here it becomes an ethical thing. JustDave has closed his test forum it looks like and no one gets too see all the great work he is doing for Threads as a direct result of someone saying they can rip of someone's work. Thats the sad part here.

[]Well I really don't appreciate things being ripped without my consent. Thank You. [/]<br /><br />This was in relation to the images/css files I'm working on. The html code to create the wrapper is so basic I can hardly take credit for it. All I wanted to do is show .threads users that they have the power to visually enhance their sites without a lot of editing or php knowledge.<br /><br />I'll try and finish my skin package this week. There should be enough choices that the users of everyone's sites wont be able to complain (but some always will). I have named the graphic files in relation to their use so that users can see what went where in the style sheet. Everyone is welcome to use this package to learn from and or modify to their needs. The package and it's contents may not be offered for download or distributed except from ThreadsDev. I don't think that's much to ask for. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br />

[]Well I really don't appreciate things being ripped without my consent. Thank You. [/] <br /> <br />All I got from your test site was how you were creating the tables. Once I figured out what you did I created everything else on my own (my graphics are not only different, they're not even the same dimentions).

I know that. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I didn't even care that you looked at the source to see how to create the wrappers. Heck, that's the point of my package is to inspire others to create more of these. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />The suggestion by Dslam to grab the files from cache just annoyed me since I'm not even done with them yet. After I'm done I wont care where someone gets the files, either from cache or downloading the zip made available here.<br /><br />Honestly I was glad to see that you created your own as I think everyone should do so to give their sites a distinct look. I just want to provide a good base to start from. Perhaps you'll create some others to offer here as well. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I plan on offering some non Da LAN Tech specific graphics, but I want to wait until after you post your set <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I'll get that "How to" out to you sometime this week.

Thanks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I am looking forward to your release as well. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Once you get this out I will release some graphics sets as well. I already have one done just for my site but that will most likely not fit anybody else's site. But there are others that we can do.<br /><br />Just like you said if everyone can make a set we can have tons and tons of designs for someone to choose from.

Sounds great Chuck <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Will be looking forward to them.

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> The special one I already designed is as you already guessed related to coral reefs with fish and macro algae and corals.<br /><br /> I look forward to this easy design that you are doing to become quite a project where people who are just starting their board can come here and get everything they need to design and put out a great threads site. <br /><br /> I know I have recieved alot of great help and hacks as well the past year. This is what sets sites like this apart. Not only can we purchase a board from a software provider but we get unlimited support. In time hopefully all of us are able to give back.

[]Thanks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I am looking forward to your release as well. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> [/]<br /><br />Can we distribute editted tbclose.tmpl and tbopen.tmpl files with our graphics sets?

I do believe we can since them files do not carry the copy right notice from Infopop. Also, the other template mods offered here have not come under fire either so I think it's safe to do so. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />(I'm intending on doing it...) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Can you imagine the hack instructions on something like this... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

LoL no doubt. Much simpler to include the modified templates. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey Dave,<br />I'll work on the documentation this weekend and hopefully get a copy out to you for review before Monday. No promisses, since I've been swamped working on my own web site (you know how that goes).<br /><br />I'll also try to get my table wrappers mod packaged so it's ready to release after you release yours <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sounds good <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I haven't had much time this week as well. Not sure what the weekend will allow either. Don't wait for me though. If you have your changes ready and documented go ahead and post them. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
