How do you create the Welcome aboard! that shows at the top on the main page?

Click on Admin... And under the heading Customize Your Board, click on Update News Fader... then type what you want to say... put a check mark in the box next to Enable news fader on home page. Then select the speed... and then click on Save...

There's info in the first post... if this doesn't help you'll have to wait until Le gets online... |

Where are you wanting to put one, Kak? Do you have a ProBoard?  |

Ah, ok. Kak, change black to 000000 for your visited link, and put 000000 for your active link. Also, read the link that Jox provided. If it still doesn't work, let us know.  |

I've tried all those, but still not showing up. There must be something I'm not doing right, just having trouble figuring what it is.

You still don't have anything in for your "Active Link." Put a hex code in there (000000) and see if that fixes it.

Sorry Kak, I've no idea. You'll have to wait for someone who knows to pop in here and answer that question.

Jox & Le, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. I was using the letter O instead of a numer 0, whta a relief. Come & check it out, ok?

Glad you finally got everything working now... unfortunately I can't see anything... I get a page which states:
This board is currently in maintainance mode. Only admins and global moderators can access it right now. |

I'm glad you got that problem solved, Kak. Just so you don't go looking for the Quick Links code at Solid Snakes, I wrote it myself with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, so if you do find a dropbox code there, it won't look like mine. Here is a dropbox wizard you could try, though. I haven't tested it on any site, but after putting a couple of URL's in there, the code looks right. Solid Snakes does have some cool codes you can use for your forum, so it's a place worth checking out. In fact, that's where I got the code for us to have custom smileys. |

That generator looks similar to the one I used. I put up 28 additional emoticons. But the other day I went to add a 29th one and it doesn't show. I thought I could just keep adding manually to the code in the Header and Censored Words area.  Irene  |

Did you change the numbers in the array?

Did you change the numbers in the array? I tried looking in the code for a number 28. Is that what you mean? I just thought I could keep going and make the next number... Irene  |

The code looks good, as far as I can tell. smilie[26]="http://subproal.notlong.com/|:sandbox:";
smilie[27]="http://obvorall.notlong.com/|:brshteeth:";
smilie[28]="http://jocomigo.notlong.com/|:bath:";
smilie[29]="http://nowndeat.notlong.com/|:waytogo:";Have I ever registered an account there yet? If so, what's my username?   I wanted to log in there and see what's happening, and don't want to create another account if I already have. Unfortunately, I can't view the members' list to find it unless I'm already logged in. |

I thought you might want to know that the filter is messing up the Zena scrolls. It's minor....just thought someone should know.
it's kinda funny when you think about it.

Okay... I fixed those two... if you find any others, please post the page it's on... and thanks for your alerting us to this problem.  |

I searched for "thingy" all through chapter one and am now searching through chapter two... I also noticed that "spoon" was changed to "sthingy".  So I fixed that in the censored words filter.  |

Post by Lesa on Aug 5, 2004 22:17:16 GMT -6
Geeze, that filter is something else, isn't it? Thanks for reporting it, Scrappy. I wonder if I should start a new thread for people to report filter problems.  |

Now, I have another question.
How do you put a Banner at the top on main page?

Le will have to answer that, I don't know nothing about setting up these boards.

It depends on where you want it. If you want it where the Whoosh logo is here, then just go to the "Board Settings" section of your admin center and put the url in where it says "Logo Image." Doing so will replace the text that is there now, so you might want to have the forum name on the banner itself. |

Quick question.......
All of a sudden, when I open the whoosh pages the lettering is HUGE. Not that I mind, I'm just wondering if my computer is messing with me again. Also, the clock has been flipping back and forth. Did I miss the daylight savings time thing?
|

Post by Joxcenia on Sept 1, 2004 19:38:16 GMT -6
The clock doesn't change until the last Sunday in October... to change font size on a webpage:
- Click on 'View'
- Click on 'Text Size'
- Click on the size you want
And that should solve your problem... if it doesn't I know of one more trick to try. 
Oooops... I'm assuming you're using IE...  Let me know if you're using a different browser and I'll see if I have the answer for that one too.
