As far as I can tell, the HTML templates are the public .pl pages that are in /Templates. JC has made a bunch if you want yours to look like those. My concern is just that even if I customise things as I always have, the next update will have changes to those .pl pages, and you'll have to redo all of your "HTML templates."

Am I missing something?

We generally do not break previous HTML templates - they SHOULD work fine after the update, but you will need to manually bring them up to date with any new features added.

So where do the graphics themselves go?

Can we use sub-folders for graphics, cause the control panel seems to discourage that, but I'd rather not have 143 items just floating in the main directory... whatever programmer that's left in me thinks that's sloppy.

As long as they're in subdirectories of the NonCGI directory, that's fine. (That's what we used for JCImages anyway.. )

Then that's how I'll try it.. thanks!

I tried it.. it works very nicely. I have a couple of questions about the JC templates though.

First, here's the URL of our test board, which yes, will be demolished and maybe relocated after we do the real upgrade to our main UBB in a day or so. http://www.coruscantcity.net/cgi-bin/testubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi

We delayed the upgrade to give our posters a chance to download their messages from the hacked PM system we were using on the old UBB.

The questions I have on the JC templates are:
- How do I add a style to the "Contact Us"|"Web Page" line? It shows up as Times New Roman in both IE and NS.

- I'd like to use the JC template on the main summary page, but how do I get the "on" and "off" icons to line up correctly? Everything seems to slide to the left, which is we're sticking with the standard template for now. I've also noticed this behavior at the 3D Realms UBB summary page with their radioactive icons, so I'm thinking that's a bug

Oh, and here's a screenshot of what I'm griping about on the lining up thing:



The color of the on and off jpgs I can fix easily enough, but the column thing just looks bad.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Flagging for JC. (JC: Do they need to be in a <span>..</span> block?)

Incidentally, the icons seem to be fixed - IE5.5 here and they were fine..?
