That's very nice. I like to see people trying to make communication clear and comfortable for everyone. There seem to be so many forces working in the opposite direction these days.

I am curious about how you arrived at the colour choices. Are they based on different types of colour blindness?

The alternate colours are very comfortable as well which I actually find a bit surprising because blues mostly rub me the wrong way. The particular blues which you chose however, are very comfortable. Colour sensitivity is of course a psychological problem, but I am sure that there are many people in the same situation.

Glad you like it  smile . Yes, the colours are based on different kinds of colour blindness.

This modification has not been created as a hook but I have altered some of the files and re-zipped it for installation.

We needed to develop the forum to make it more accessible for adults with learning disabilities and visual impairment.

This means that we have added a large text option and a site colour scheme selector making the forum more accessible and user friendly for this group of users.

We have done this using PHP rather than Java Script.

We have set up a demonstration site for everyone to see and download the modified zip files for free.

Go to www.accessibleforum.org.uk

If you visit the site and the options don't work straight away, just click on any link on the site and try again. For some reason if you go there from this site, it sometimes has this problem. I think it is due to the cookies from both sites.

I will be adding some SEO tools to the site later, such as a search engine submitter and meta tag analyzer. All these features will be free to use. The sites costs are paid for by our main sponsor www.u-edit.co.uk

Just added the forum to www.look4business.org

The forum can be found at www.look4business.org/forum

It is a forum for help with SEO and website marketing to complement the rest of the site.

By the way, feel free to add your business to the directory or add our free stats counter to your site.
(I hope I am not breaking any forum rules with that last sentence)

Good work with the forum. It has to be the best free message board on the net. To be honest it gives some of the paid solutions a run for their money.

Cheers,
Richie

I want to install this board into my existing site design which is as follows.

Site width 750px centred in screen
Left hand navigation column which is 150 pixels wide

I would then like the forum to sit in a table that is 500 pixels wide to the right of the existing column.

Is this possible?

Cheers,
Richie

Hi,
I have been running 1.5 on my site now for a while at www.mobilediscodirectory.co.uk

I am completely upgrading the site and building it on the following domain www.richiepearce.co.uk . When the site is built I will swap the domains over. I have installed the beta version on the new site but have some design issues that I cannot resolve.

The old forum was quite simple to alter the main.tpl file but when I do the same with the beta version it is a disaster. Can someone have a look and advise me how I can correct this.

Excellent work with the forum by the way, keep up the good work.

Best Regards,

Richie

Most sites are built the other way round. Idea first followed by site. But if you need ideas, why dont you look at hobbies ie. model trains, bird watching etc. See what is available on the net for them and if very little, build a site.

Hi,
Will the new version install over 1.1.5 when it is released. Also will it have the ability to upload images. I can't wait to see the full version when it is complete. This has to be the best forum on the net. It is so easy to install compared to a lot of paid for solutions.

Best Regards,

Richie

One of my moderators is having the following message when trying to update his profile or edit messages. No one else seems to get this problem, any ideas?

Bad HTTP_REFERER. You were referred to this page from an unauthorized source. Please go back and try again. If the problem persists please make sure that 'Base URL' is correctly set in Admin/Options and that you are visiting the forum by navigating to that URL.

Thanks for that. I wasn't sure whether it was still needed for the script to function properly.

Just a quick question, when the forum is up and running, do I need to delete this file. Is there anyway that someone could mess up the forum if you dont.
