UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Promoting Your Community Forum Showcase SpitFire's Spiffy UBB Layout. (heavy cosmetic changes)

Well after working hard on this and learning a bit about working with variables while keeping the server happy I'm proud to unveil it to the public.

It took me forever but I found the locations for everything so i could put background images in every table cell, this will probably cause some odd side effects when I try amnd change the table cell color on mouseover (hypercells I guess they're called), but oh well.

Actually since you've seen what I've done (so you should know what I can do) any suggestions would be welcomed, even if the implementation of such causes me to learn something. ^_~

Uh, I know I don't have very many avatars...but I'm low on space there my last host just keeled over so I'm "in-between" on netfirms (who really isn't a real host by any stretch of imagination) but I should be moving either today or tommorrow, please don't let that discourage you from visiting, all member files will come along too.

I was wondering what the hell you did until I realized it was still version5;)

Just one suggestion. On the topic pages, shrink or remove that blue image at the top. It pushes over the reply buttons and links. Other than that it looks pretty good.:)

I can't shrink it on the reply pages because it is the exact size of my header table it's meant to be a background but I can't figure out which cgi page contains the template which generates the new threads or I would apply my header to that page too and have a good uniform look to it all.

If anyone knows which template page ubb5 uses to make new threads please let me know.

btw, yes i do use ubb 5, although i recently got my ubb liscense I have tried out ubb6.04 a bit and I found it a bit unstable (although the server was probably the cause of half the problems) I'm happy with my peachy and light ubb5.

I've basically forgot everything I've known about UBB5, but try postings.cgi?

I can say, pretty safely that's not it. I changed every header in that file.

Try ubb_library2.pl

yeah someone recommended that to me and i found the right part. and got my layout the way I wanted it, thanks.

I just thought I would point out that I changed the link there to reflect my new server bluedomino. I'm still waiting on my domain name though so I have so funky sub domain of a sub domains sub domain, but at least the adds are gone, they were getting on my nerves...
