I setup a lot of networks and the first thing I do to any workstation that has Netcrap on it is..... REMOVE IT!

It's too much of a hassle and I don't like the Java modules it loads to view java.

IE is the best route, but I know you do have to make it Netcrap friendly :(

MS should just buy Sun out.. Heck they own a ton of stock in them and Linsux (Red Hat) Bill is just setting them up to take them out.

But the first step is to get rid of Linsux. It's Great for hackers, but for the biz end of it.. It's very bad. But good for me :) I've spent the last 6 months removing Linsux and replacing with Win2k... Win2k still has issues, but They are really starting to hack the Linsux servers up... Guess that's what you get for putting out the Code for a OS!

so there will be no fix for netscape?

ya i know previously just changed our entire sites after i noticed everything look weird and stuff end up being places they not suppose to be and the tables shows all weird so i spend few days TRYING hard to fix it. I really don't like netscape either but people still use it so I have no choice but to try hard and make the entire page look good in both browsers.

sorry
drop down working on both netscape and Explore

also is there a way I can make all the drop down the same size? because some of our mods names are longer and some are smaller and the drop down sizes are differen so maybe I can change the size of the drop down to 15?

if you can't thats Ok
thanks alot for the mod

this is a dirty, very very dirty way of doing what your trying to do

you need to read all the moderators names before you display them
and find out the length of the biggest one
when you have the biggest one

just add blank spaces to the rest to become the same size

tip: its not worth the trouble of programming just for this
its upto you though

let say you have

Forum1
--------------
DudeTheModerator
DudeTheMod
Dude

Forum2
---------------
GuyTheLongNamedModerator
GuyModerator
SomeDude

letsay you have those as your moderators for your forums

what you need to do is
PROGRAMMICALLY
call and read the length of EVERY single moderator you have

which means you will read all the 6 above
DudeTheModerator will be read first let say

it has lenght of 16
when you read the next one, its has length of lower than 16
you dont anything yet
you go on the next and next until you either find a bigger one
or you reach the end of the list
in this case you will come across GuyTheLongNamedModerator
which has length of 25

so now you got the length of the longest moderator name

now you need to send this length into listForumModerators function (of course you have to modify this function to make it work properly)
and this function will take in the lenght of the longest moderatorname

and when its displaying actually displaying them in the drop down
you need to read the lenght of those moderator names again
and now you will compare them to 25
if they are < 25
you will add white spaces to it to make it upto 25

by the way, for each forum you only need to have ONE moderator name upto 25 chars (if its not actually 25 chars, you add spaces to it)
that way the drop down will automatically be for 25 chars so you dont need to do add spaces to the rest

in short

each forum must have Atleast one of the names to be the same length size as the LONGEST among all moderators for other forums

now is doing all that worth it?
if it is
have fun programming :)
or you can pay me large amount of money so i can make this work for you
hehe

lol well umm I sure can't do it because all I know about asp is editing asp files thats about it. But i figured out a way to make all the sizes width even. I saw this one vbulletin board is add like another account with this name -------------- and make it long enough for all of them to look even then change that acount to moderator and add it for each forum. also the vbulletin ones have this here is a screenshot



i think having that on the drop down can make the names even or do i still have to pay for this addon

hehe, you still have to pay
and lots of it

actually that should work with exception of the fact that you might have a moderator name that is longer than the fixed with you set :)
to truely set it properly you have to use what i suggested
other wize just do what vbulletin has :)

i havent recieved my payment for the inial use of this mod
so when i get that, lets talk about the second payment for making this work
and i dont want american money, i only like canadian dollars
he he

but in all seriousness if its soooo very important to you i can write the code for a SMALL fee :)
i might even make it for free.. depends on if i am on male pms :)
