 Topic: Please vote on new default skin colour
Posted: 05 September 2003 at 8:50am |
I have setup a beta version of Web Wiz Forums version 7.5 with both the two new skins at:-
www.beta.webwizforums.com
Please look at both forums and vote on which one you would prefer to see as the default skin for Web Wiz Forums.
Also if you could test this forum while you are there and report any bugs.
They both run off the same Access database so if you post in one it will show in both beta forums.
Version 7.5 is planned for release by the end of September, unless and bugs come to light or anyone gives any good suggestions that don't require database changes.

Borg one question, with non static IP's the IP address changes, so the same guest can be on the active users list multiple times, and so can a member, however if its a member cant u test to make sure they dont exist in the active users table before creating a new row?

Cool!
Its going to be a b***h to update my portal though 
one question about the WYSIWYG editor, will there be anything that will allow us to change it off/on when at the "Post Reply" box so we dont have to go to the profile and turn it off/on and go back and refresh the page?

*GASP* this all sounds great BUT.. what on earth does it take to change versions? do I have to find all the MODs again, and put them all back in to the new version? :(

Maybe we can convince him to simply include the popular mods into the new version.... after all, the code is already written, it just needs to be inserted....
Could even make some of them optional, turned on and off with a check box in the control panel or something.
So, Bruce, how 'bout it?

 ahhh.. that's like a PERFECT idea.. man BoRg, you really should charge for these updates.. like hand out the basic model.. but to get the BETTER model, you have to PAY for it!! 
I am just thinking of all the MODs that I mod-ed?! and I dont' even know how I managed it the first time.
