1. Well in my members signatures I'd like to allow more than 255 characters but I don't know where to start.
2. I'd like to allow icons for a user to choose from when posting. as seen in the infopop boards. An example of this would be on these forums: http://forum.planetnamek.com/
3. Is there a way I can make my board like an infopop board?
Thanks for your time,
ssj5

You would have to modify the database. If it's Access, it would mean changing the field from what it is to memo or in SQL Server changing the field size.
In pop_profile.asp, do a search for "sig" and take a look at the code nearby. There's some checks for the length being greater than 255. You'd have to make the appropriate changes there.

Yep, with a lot of patience and coding/mod'ing it can be done. 
Is there anything, other than the above, that you're looking for in particular?

You've come to the right place.
Icons in the forum can be accomplished, in fact there is a mod here for it called Avatar Mod. Click here
Making your board look like an InfoPop board is basically what Snitz Forums look like. Care to be more specific??

For #1, it's been brought before. Basically you just have to change the Database field to a different datatype. It's been discussed before. You can probably find it by doing a search for signature 255 memo
For #2, see here: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/link.asp?TOPIC_ID=1854
For #3, This forum can be customized, so you should be able to duplicate the look/feel of whatever you want. |
