Thanks very much for having a look at this, hopefully someone can offer some advice...

Hi there,

If you have a look at my forums in IE for the PC they work fine:

http://www.everything.ie/forum/

but if you try the same thing in Firefox a dark grey line about 3 px wide appears all along the right hand side of the boxes. I've had a look at the slight modifications I've made to the punbb script but can't see where I'm going wrong.

I'm using all the same coding in the main part of my site and dont have any problems with firefox.

In case it's something to do with this, heres main.tpl :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Thanks guys, I think I have it working now.

Hi there,

I'm using PunBB on my website which is working great except for one small detail.

If you go to my home page you will see I have my site logo in the top rand hand side of the screen: www.everything.ie

Now I've tried to get the forums part of the site ( http://www.everything.ie/forum/ )to be as similar as possible to the main page but I cannot work out how to include the logo in the forum page banner. At the moment I'm just using a text alternative but I was hoping someone could let me know if it's possible to add an image, and if so how?

Perhaps it has been dealt with before but I could not find any threads here after searching.

Thanks in advance,
Robert

Thanks Rickard,

I've got it working at the bottom of this page

http://www.everything.ie/index2.php

I adjusted the max subject length in extern.php so the links would not be truncated.
The table I'm going to be using to display the links is wide enough for any link to fit on one line as you can see.

Yet one of the links "Anyone had any luck getting a Job through everything.ie..." is being broken into two lines half way through. What do I adjust so each full link (regardless of length is displayed on one line?

Thanks


Robert

Thanks, I just copied the code from yours.

Much obliged.

Robert

Thanks Rickard,

I'm not quite sure what you mean though.

Can I control the appearance of the text through adding class="whatever" in extern.php?

I am used to controling links through css so I'm not sure of what to do on a .php page.

I tried searching the forum but no luck.

Hopefully you can help out.

Thanks,
Robert

Hi there,

I want to have a link exactl like the one at the top right of this page (the "Go back to Punbb.org" one) to bring people back to the main page of my site.

If you go to the forums part of my site you can see my attempt:

http://www.everything.ie/forum/

As you can see I've managed to make the link but it's on the left with the other ones as opposed to on the right, where I want it to be.

Can somebody tell me how to achieve the same results as the punbb site?
Also I have forgotten the name of the file that controls the navlinks so if somebody could remind me of that also, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Robert

Hi there,

I am trying to incorperate a latest posts section into the main page of my site.

You can see my attempt on a test page here (its at the bottom):

http://www.everything.ie/index2.php

What I want to be able to do is to control the properties of the links generated (colour, rollover colour etc.) The main page of the punbb.org site seems to do this but I can't work out how.

Can someone let me know what to do?


Thanks in advance,
Robert
