Hi,

I'm pretty new to this so I have a lot of beginner's questions

How do I add a forum header? I'd like to add a picture and at least a forum title to my forum.. but I can't seem to find where to do that ..

I'm just going to post my other question here too..

- The Who's online doesn't seem to be accurate. It doesn't always show users online, actually, it almost never is correct. Can I adjust this? Timeframe is set to 1.

- What are those spiders? Are those actual people?

Thanks a lot.

Spiders are search engine's. They send "crawlers" out to grab new data, also known as spidering data.

WOL data is cached, it'll never be 100% correct, view the "details" link to get a 100% (well as close as can be) view of current users.

As for adding a header,there are a couple of ways, the easiest is to just use the image tag in the CP -> Display Options -> General -> HTML Includes Tab -> Default Header area

Thanks but it's not quite clear
In what way do you put your logo in the default header area?
HTML code? Is there an example available?

Also,
When quoting someone, the original message appears in a small box with sidebars. I know there's a way to display the quoted text without those bars.. but how.. \:\(

Use Fire Fox ?
Sorry i don't know the answer but there is a mod
somewhere you can increase the display area before the scroll
bars appear in IE i think.

To answer the question you must first give a question.

On his own board he could modify the CSS but not on other boards. However there is a local CSS fix for FF that can be used.

SD was the one that gave me the information on doing it (IIRC)

You would use HTML to insert your logo in the header area. It'd be something like:
 Code:
<img src="http://www.yoursite.tld/images/image.jpg" height="300" width="300" alt="logo" />

You have WOL set to 1 minute, you might increase that to 10 minutes, or 30 minutes.

Great, thanks all!

One more question..
Is there a possibility to move posts from one topic to another? No problem moving topics and deleting posts, but I haven't found the feature to move a post to another topic \:\(

Edit a post, there will be an option to move the post and all responses to another topic (thus attaching them to the other topic as a response via a specific post)

Hmmm that is looking like someone is trying to get on the Gizmo spam list of 15 characters or less postings ;\)
