Is there any mod that allows to change the color of some post.
For example a user before to save the new post, check an option to change the color of the post in the topic.asp page.

Golfmann, There have been some discussions about that in the past. Opinions vary as to how "nice" that would be.  |

You know what would be a nice mod?
A link preview kind of thing like they have on facebook.
It takes your link and both checks it and puts in the picture and a small blurb plus the link.
Waaaaaay over my head to do, but it IS nice, I think. |

in post_info.asp look for the following code
Response.write "</font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
" <meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""2; URL=" & strReturnURL & """>" & vbNewLine & _
" <p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>"
select case MethodType
case "Category"
Response.Write("Remember to create at least one new forum in this category.")
case "Forum"
Response.Write("The new forum is ready for users to begin posting!")
case "EditForum", "EditCategory"
Response.Write("Thank you for your contribution!")
case "URL"
Response.Write("The new URL is in place!")
case "EditURL"
Response.Write("Cheers! Have a nice day!")
case "Topic", "TopicQuote", "EditTopic", "Reply", "ReplyQuote", "Edit"
Response.Write("Thank you for your contribution!")
case else
Response.Write("Have a nice day!")
end select
Response.write "</font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
" <p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""" & strReturnURL & """>" & strReturnTxt & "</a></font></p>" & vbNewLine
it should be near the end, just above the
sub newForumMembers(fForumID) function
Replace all the code above with
Response.write "</font></p>" & vbNewLine
Response.Redirect(strReturnURL)
disclaimer I haven't tested this so make sure you take a copy of post_info first so you can roll it back |

I did it, and works great.
Thanks.
Another question....how can i bypass the waiting time after a new topic or post is saved. I'd like to eliminated the screen with
"New Reply Posted!
Thank you for your contribution!
Back to Category"
and directly go ahead to the topic.asp page. |

Probably the easiest way to handle it would be to add another field to the database to record the desired topic color. In the default table "FORUM_TOPICS", I'd add a "T_COLOR" field. You wouldn't need to define it in "config.asp" since it won't be static.
Then in "forum.asp", you'd have to add it after the line tLAST_POST_AUTHOR_NAME = 14
tT_COLOR = 15
and again after the line Topic_LastPostAuthorName = arrTopicData(tLAST_POST_AUTHOR_NAME, iTopic)
Topic_Color = arrTopicData(tT_COLOR, iTopic)
Remember those "CColor" variable locations from the alternating color mod? You'd replace them with "Topic_Color".
In "post.asp" and in "post_info.asp", you'd have to include the new field in forms and in SQL calls/updates to the database.
That'll get you started. If you run aground, ask for help and we'll give you a hand. |

I may try to make it, but could you just suggest me from where to start.
Which files should i change? Which are the variables to identify?

Nothing like that has been written. Wouldn't be too difficult, but I can easily imagine some very awful color combinations. |

Thanks for the mod, but I think it simply alternates the two colour, instead i'm looking for a mod that allows the user to change the background colour of the post in topic.asp
Something like the Tag, but that colour the post row. |

OK - I know what you're wanting now. It's called the "Alternating Topic Colors Mod". I put it up on SnitzBitz. |

Some users can have the possibility to underline the post chaging the background colour.

If you're talking about changing just the text colour, then Carefree is right - there are a number of colour tags available for changing the text. If you're talking about the background, or just about anything else, then the short answer is that there is nothing readily avilable.
Is there any particular reason for this request? Sometimes understanding the "why" behind a question saves us all some time in coming to a solution. |

Probably i didn't explain well.
I'd like to change the entire row color of the post, not only the text.
Normally in this forum there is a bi-alternate-color, white and grey, and i'd like to offer the possibility to change the color of the entire row including the author name column.
