Or you could just establish a virtual monopoly in which case you don't have to care.

I drive an Edsel: The short answer is because it doesn't use sessions whereas some other scripts do.

Rod: All BBS require cookies for persistent login. However, as far as I know, those who use sessions do not require cookies to login for the one browsing session.

I have it running on a local machine with the following setup

WinXP SP2
Apache
mysql 4
php 4

No problems. I haven't noticed any other problems with SP2 either apart from the annoying and irrelevant security warnings.

Rod: DT and DD are fine for very simple tabular data like viewing another users profile where you have a simple name/value pairing. However, they have definite problems with complex tablular data. The main problem is that they cannot be coded for better accessability. A table can be coded using id's or scope to associate headers with data in a way a screenreader can understand. You cannot do that with a definition list.

There are so many second rate intellects out there; unable to express an opinion intelligently without recourse to expletives.

Open extern.php and look for this near the top
$max_subject_length = 30;
Change the number to something higher.

OK.  Try this

<STYLE type="text/css">
.link 9, .link9 A:link, .link9 A:visited {font-family:arial,geneva; font-size:13px;letter-spacing:0;color:#FFCC00;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none}
:hover.link9, .link9 A:hover {font-family:arial,geneva; font-size:13px;letter-spacing:0;color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none}
</STYLE>

Even better, try this

<STYLE type="text/css">
.link 9, .link9 A:link, .link9 A:visited {font-family:arial,geneva; font-size:13px;letter-spacing:0;color:#FFCC00;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none}
:hover.link9, .link9 A:hover {color:#FFFFFF;}
</STYLE>

Don't worry. If that doesn't work there are some other ways to get it all working which won't conflict with your existing design.

The class link 9 appears to be set on the containing div not the link itself. In that case I would have thought
.link9 A:link, .link9 A:visited {font-family:arial,geneva; font-size:13px;letter-spacing:0;color:#FFCC00;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none}
followed by
.link9 A:hover {font-family:arial,geneva; font-size:13px;letter-spacing:0;color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none}
would have been what was required. The way you have it you would need <a class="link9" ...>

As for the dot, open extern php and look for · When you find it get rid of it or replace it with

You cannot install more than one version of IE but a little known fact is that IE can be run as a stand alone app without being installed. It works fine just so long as you don't hit the favourites button which crashes the browser. Here is IE6 and IE5 running together on my desktop.

BW: Will some kind or mercenary soul please help Raybo. Somebody must need some beer money.

Thanks Raybo. I've got a number of browsers installed for testing myself
IE5 (Win)
IE5.5 (Win)
IE6 (Win
Mozilla (Win and Linux)
Konqueror 3.2 (Linux)
Firefox (Win)
Opera 7.5 (Win)
Netscape 7 (Win)

Of course, not a Mac browser amongst them. Fortunately I have got some help testing on Safari and Camino but it was useful to know the situation regarding IE5 Mac even though it wasn't the answer I was hoping for

That makes two of us then. I thought of using the same system to generate stylesheets as PunBB uses to generate web pages. Let users fill in a form with the values they want, preview it and then a stylesheet would be generated for download from a template. Maybe I should leave it to you. I suck at php. BTW. Did you email me. My server had some problems with it's anti-spam system and I lost a load of emails. All I have is a list of senders.

As for that toy of mine. I forgot all about that. It was never finished and I'm surprised its still around. I guess I better leave it where it is. It doesn't require php or mysql. It's just  static html, css and javacript. It will work on your local computer so feel free to grab all the files. The way it works is there are a whole bunch of stylesheets where one style is altered in each. The buttons just operate a stylesheet switching script. This is the same system that some sites use to let users change text sizes or background colours or sometimes to generate printer friendly versions of pages. If you download it and stick you own stylesheet in the right directory it will act as a preview system. On the other hand , you could just use friend Hampe's excellent previewer and save yourselves the bother.
