I only bolded the ['s to prevent the BBCode from doing its thing in the post. Don't be afraid to experiment in posts, because nothing you do in posts will cause irreparable harm, lol, and you can always edit them (or even delete, at your own board). Sorry I missed your question about the smilies. There are lots of smiley sites on the web you can find by searching google for free smilies. When you find one you like, save it to your computer. Then, upload those smilies to your image host and link to them from there, under "manage post icons" in your board's control panel. I don't know which smiley sites are the best, because I tend to just customize smilies I run across or make my own and don't go looking for them. Maybe Janesko could even customize some to match your board.    nondisclosed_email@example.com (Lesigner Girl)Fri, 07 Mar 2008 01:55:08 +0000 Re: Help with layouthttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p237611,from=rss#post237611https://bakheva.runboard.com/p237611,from=rss#post237611Hi Hunnie, Thanks for responding, I think the added feature to disable your tags is an awesome idea, I have that a few forums I'm a member of and it works beautifully. The Code you posted, I take it that the bold[ are not to be including when typing it right? just so I don't mess up lol. You are right that most of mine are okay but I don't like to offend anyone so if I post here I would like to be able to disable my tag... Thanks for the compliments on my banner too...I love Janesko's artwork so I just had to use her...and I hide the boobies on purpose..lol I also mentioned about the smilies, can you tell me where I can a few more? Thanks Hun ((hugs)) Honeywing nondisclosed_email@example.com (Honeywing)Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:58:43 +0000 Re: Help with layouthttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p237566,from=rss#post237566https://bakheva.runboard.com/p237566,from=rss#post237566Hi Honey Just the fact that you raised the question tells me that I can trust you to keep your board's content within the TOS. Thank you. Anyone will be able to see your banner, as well as anything else that is in your headers and footers. They just won't see your who's online, stats, forums, topics, etc. The good news is that your banner is fine for the general public, and it looks nice, too. You have a good talent for graphics. Your rotating sigs... Well, we do have CSS in place that allows you to hide them by putting this at the very end of each post: [b][i][b][i] Don't close those bbcode tags (it creates improper coding, but it works). They need to stay open in order to hide your signature. You can edit your posts to add this, if you think any of your rotating images are too risqué for this board. I hadn't noticed any real overt ones myself, but I don't know how many graphics you have in the rotation. A feature was just suggested a few days ago by Pastor Rick to allow users to disable our sigs on a per-post basis, the same way we can disable smilies and bbcode. But unless/until that becomes a feature, we're stuck with our CSS hacks. Bedtime for me. Have a good one! nondisclosed_email@example.com (Lesigner Girl)Wed, 05 Mar 2008 04:07:29 +0000 Re: Help with layouthttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p237561,from=rss#post237561https://bakheva.runboard.com/p237561,from=rss#post237561Thanks so much for the information hun. I will be keeping the forum to members only and I believe you will only see the banner if you are not a member. I did email Thor but haven't heard from him but I will most certain not allow pornography or sexual action type tags.....absolute no no... I have finished my banner and posted it and here it is for you to see http://www.runboard.com/believetutorialsbyhoneywing I do have a question though. I disabled my rotating tags right now because of the mature content boobs and bums that might appear on this forum but once I reinstate in my signature they will reappear here is there anyway to fix that so they don't show up in here but will still appear in my signature on my group? I certainly don't want to offend anyone. What I like is not everyones cup of tea as it were. and the other question I have is I noticed that some groups have a spinning smile and some animated ones can you tell where I can get them and where dO i add them. Thanks hun ((hugs)) Honeywing nondisclosed_email@example.com (Honeywing)Wed, 05 Mar 2008 03:10:20 +0000 Re: Help with layouthttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p237548,from=rss#post237548https://bakheva.runboard.com/p237548,from=rss#post237548You're welcome, Honey. Since any boobs or bums shown there would be for artistic purposes and there won't be anything else (no spread-eagle shots or certain "actions" - PM me if you need more detail), I think you'll be ok as long as you keep the board - or even just certain forums - private. See this post for a little clarification of what's not allowed: quote:Adult material, as in "Sexually explicit pictures, writing, movies or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal.".nondisclosed_email@example.com (Lesigner Girl)Wed, 05 Mar 2008 01:29:19 +0000 Re: Help with layouthttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p237503,from=rss#post237503https://bakheva.runboard.com/p237503,from=rss#post237503Thanks hun I'm off nagging the bossman now about the definiation of sexual content!!!! cause I might not be able to move over here . I noticed a post about it and since I write PSP tutorials with Pinup artists I'm not sure if that will be ok as sometimes there are boob and bums...nothing else but not sure where RB stands on that stuff. The forum will be private members only so we will have to see. Thank you sooo much for all your help and I love the layout now.

Thanks Honeywing nondisclosed_email@example.com (Honeywing)Mon, 03 Mar 2008 02:54:37 +0000 Re: Help with layouthttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p237464,from=rss#post237464https://bakheva.runboard.com/p237464,from=rss#post237464You're welcome, Honey. I'm sorry to hear you were sick, and hope you're feeling well now. I see your fotoki images fine, and hard-refreshed them to make sure it wasn't just my cache showing them. Maybe fotoki was down when you viewed? If you don't see them now, try hard-refreshing the test board and see if they show up for you. To change the background color of the ad, go into layout/colors and change the page background color to #ffe5f4. If you keep the board the same width as the test board is now, the optimum width for your banner would be 853px. If you make the banner slightly wider without also widening the board, you won't see the whole graphic because it is put in as a background image via CSS. The height doesn't matter, as long as you change that in your CSS. The parts that pertain to your banner and board width are here in 3 places: #container1 {    width: 930px; margin: 0 auto;    background: #ffe5f4 url(http://images33.fotki.com/v1140/photos/6/627859/3251994/bgleft-vi.gif) left top repeat-y; } #container2 {    padding: 1em 20px;    background: url(http://images29.fotki.com/v1151/photos/6/627859/3251994/bgright-vi.gif) right top repeat-y; } #header h1 {    margin: 0; height: 120px;    background:url(http://img.runboard.com/img/layouts/smackdown5_14/samplebanner.jpg) center no-repeat;    font-size: 1px; text-indent: -10000px; } /* STANDARD RUNBOARD CSS CLASSES BELOW! */ /* SURROUNDS THE ENTIRE BOARD, BELOW THE HEADER AND ABOVE THE FOOTER */ .ak_msg_master_table {    border:none; width:865px; }nondisclosed_email@example.com (Lesigner Girl)Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:30:59 +0000 Re: Help with layouthttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p237457,from=rss#post237457https://bakheva.runboard.com/p237457,from=rss#post237457Hi Hunnie, I just copied the code and pasted it into my new board http://www.runboard.com/believetutorialsbyhoneywing but for some reason the images I uploaded to fotki don't seem to be showing up!!!! help The other thing I wanted to ask on the test board there is a section where the advertisements appear and there appears to be a hot pink background on it now and on my board it's not and I wondered if there was a reason for it as I prefer it without the hot pink box.

You will now find the banner in your CSS under #header h1: #header h1 {    margin: 0; height: 120px;    background:url(http://img.runboard.com/img/layouts/smackdown5_14/samplebanner.jpg) center no-repeat;    font-size: 1px; text-indent: -10000px; } When you make a new banner, change the url and height there as needed. If you want to change the width of your board, look here in your CSS: #container1 {    width: 930px; margin:0 auto;    background: #ffe5f4 url(http://images33.fotki.com/v1140/photos/6/627859/3251994/bgleft-vi.gif) left top repeat-y; } You will also need to look for all occurrences of this in your CSS: width:865px; ...and change them relative to the new width of #container1. For example, if you change the board's width to 950px (via #container1), that would be 20px wider than it is now, so you would then add 20px to all of the 865's, making them 885px.

As for the text, anything between 11px and 13px would be much better than 5. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Lesigner Girl)Tue, 26 Feb 2008 02:41:31 +0000 Re: Help with layouthttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p237084,from=rss#post237084https://bakheva.runboard.com/p237084,from=rss#post237084Hi Hun, Thanks for responding so quickly as you can see my legs are now running as fast as possible out the door.....lol Well I could see what you mean about the image being small and I have no idea how to do any of what you suggested I was kinda hoping it was "yeah you have to change these numbers" lol....but not its seems. I would like to be able to change the banner to one that I make so maybe I could just adjust the background, may doing what you said about cropping it...if you don't mind helping that would be awesome. As for the text what do you think would be a good size? and as for a test board point me in the right direction I think that would be an awesome idea....lol Thanks for helping hun ((hugs)) Honeywing nondisclosed_email@example.com (Honeywing)Tue, 26 Feb 2008 02:09:21 +0000 Re: Help with layouthttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p237076,from=rss#post237076https://bakheva.runboard.com/p237076,from=rss#post237076Welcome to Runboard, Honeywing! The problem with trying to make the board wider with the pink pillows layout is the background image it uses. Click to see the graphic It's hard to see that, but if you open it in a graphics editor and re-size the height, you can see better what's happening. If you want, I can crop out the two shaded side parts of that image and give them to you to upload, but if you know how, feel free. After you upload them, I can tell you how to use those pieces in a flexible-width (or whatever fixed width you choose) layout. The banner graphic itself will need to be re-sized as well. Personally, I would make a piece of it tilable instead, use it as the background of the header, add your board name in HTML, and add the border and change the color of the text with CSS. Of course, I'll be happy to help you out with that as well. I noticed that you have a 5px font-size defined in your CSS for .ak_msg_master_table. If you keep it like that, any area that doesn't have its own font-size defined will be unreadable. To get over your fear of touching things in the control panel, you should set up a test board. I even have a few myself, for testing out "can't be done" requests and such. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Lesigner Girl)Tue, 26 Feb 2008 01:50:05 +0000 Help with layouthttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p237053,from=rss#post237053https://bakheva.runboard.com/p237053,from=rss#post237053Hello I'm new to runboard and am trying to set up my site. I was wondering if you could tell me if there is a way to make layout wider as my posts keep distorting the layout. I write tutorials and would love to use run board more. I'm using the pink pillows layout and have no idea where to do this. I looked in the layout customisation but I'm a little scared to change anything without knowing what I'm doing. I would like the background lines to go closer to the edges of the screen...and make the Banner section wider this is my board: http://www.runboard.com/bhoneywingstutorials and this is my code: /* PINK NON-STANDARD CSS CLASSES */ /* WELCOME BOX & BACK TO TOP LINK */ .welcomebox {border:1px solid #ff9cd3;width:865px;font-family:verdana;font-size:10px;color:#767676;background-color:#ffdbef} .welcomeboxtitle {font-family:verdana;font-size:10px;font-weight:bold;color:#767676;} .backtotop {font-family:verdana;font-size:10px;color:#767676;padding-top:20px;text-align:center} /* STANDARD RUNBOARD CSS CLASSES BELOW! */ /* REMOVES THE PAGES MARGINS FROM LEFT AND RIGHT OF PAGE */ body {margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;background-color:#F1B4E4;background-image:url(http://img.runboard.com/img/layouts/smackdown5_14/bgimage.gif);background-repeat:repeat-y;background-position:center} /* THE BACKGROUND COLOR SHOWN WHILST IMAGE IS LOADING */ body {background-color: #ffdbef} /* SETS THE OUTER TABLES WIDTH TO KEEP NON-TABLE CONTENT WITHIN A MAX WIDTH*/ .ak_msg_master_table {border:none;width:865px;font-family:verdana;font-size:5px;color:#767676} /* SETS THE WIDTH AND BORDERS OF THE FORUM/TOPIC/POST/MEMBER LIST TABLES */ .forum_list_table, .topic_list_table, .ak_msg_post_master_table, .ak_msg_seememberlist_table, .forumlistboardstatstable, .forumlistwhosonlinetable {width:860px; border:1px solid #ff9cd3;color:#767676;font-family:verdana} /* SETS THE BEVELED IMAGE USED FOR HEADER OF MOST TABLES */ .ak_msgform_poll_options_head_td, .ak_msg_seememberlist_head_user_td, .ak_msg_seememberlist_head_date_td, .ak_msg_seememberlist_head_im_td, .ak_msg_seememberlist_head_pm_td, .ak_msg_seememberlist_head_email_td, .ak_poll_table_header, .forumlistboardstatsheader, .forumlist_separator_td, .msgform_clickable_smiley_box_h, .ak_subject_posticon_head_td {background-color:#ffdbef;font-family:verdana;font-size:10px;height:25px;background-image:url(http://img.runboard.com/img/layouts/smackdown5_14/separator.gif);background-repeat: repeat-x;padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px;color:#767676;border-color:#ff9cd3}  .forumlist_separator_td {border-top:1px solid #ff9cd3} .forum_list_table, .topic_list_table {background-color:#FFE5F4;font-family:verdana;font-size:10px;height:25px;background-image:url(http://img.runboard.com/img/layouts/smackdown5_14/separator.gif);background-repeat: repeat-x;padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px;color:#767676;border-color:#ff9cd3} /* WHOS ONLINE TABLE ADDS PADDING */ .forumlistwhosonlinetable {background-color:#ffdbef} .forumlistwhosonlinetd {padding: 6px 6px 6px 6px;} /* SETTINGS FONT TYPE, COLOR AND SIZE TO REMAINING ELEMENTS */ span.locationboard , span.locationforum, span.locationtopic {font-size:11px;font-family:verdana;color:#767676} .forumlistforumname, .topiclisttopicname {font-size:11px;font-family:verdana} span.forumlistnumtopics, span.forumlistnumposts {font-size:10px;font-family:verdana;font-weight:normal;} span.topiclistnewswitch, span.forumlistnewswitch {color:#767676;font-size:11px;font-family:verdana} .forumlistboardstatsheader {font-family:verdana;font-size:10px;border-width:0px;color:#767676} .forumlistboardstatstable {background-color:#ffdbef} span.forumlistheader, span.topiclistheader, span.forumlistseparator, span.topiclistreplies, span.topiclistviews, span.topicliststartedby{color:#767676;font-family:verdana;font-size:10px;} span.forumlistlastpost,span.topiclistlastpost,span.forumlistdescription {color:#767676;font-family:verdana;font-size:10px} span.postlistpostbody {font-size:10px;} span.topiclisttopicclosed, span.topiclisttopicsticky,span.topiclisttopichidden {font-size:10px;font-weight:normal;font-family:verdana;} .ak_tl_topicrow_mouseover_off, .ak_tl_topicrow_mouseover_on {padding:5px} span.forumlistlastpost,span.topiclistlastpost {padding:1px} /* NO IMAGE BORDERS!
