Hi all,

I have a snitz 3.4.04, and now it's time I modify somethings to let it look nicer.

- How can I remove the horizontal line above members signature in their posts or make that line much shorter?

- What can I do to include members position under their avatar (eg. Moderator, new member, junior member, senior member etc,...) and include the stars as well.

- What should I do to put my own logo picture filling almost the width of the site and all menu rest on this picture at a certain postion or on a line under this picture?

I am hoping that my questions are not too many and do not take much of your time

Thank your very much!
Best Regards

Go to the admin page, then load admin_config_ranks.asp

You'll need to install the Avatar MOD

You will need to edit the <hr> tag in topic.asp at lines 675 and 876.

If those lines don't match exactly then search for "if CanShowSignature = 1 and " and you will find the <hr> tag 2 lines down. This search phrase is in topic.asp twice. The first time for all the replies, the second time for the opening post.

I had my avatar MOD installed already. What I mean is to have a bigger logo picture on top of my page, and the menu rest in that picture or on a line underneath?

To Laser: I will try to do what you told me. But what should I modify in those lines if I want the line to be, say, half of now or of any size I want (where to put pixel value?) and those line to be aligned left?

One more thing is that how can I change the number limit of topic characters, it is now 50 characters to be allowed, I need more

Thanks to both of you, I need your help

Sounds like you need the Site Integration MOD.

Sounds like you're not sure what you want You need to change the attributes of the HR tag, or maybe contain that in a DIV aligned left.

Quite a few changes here, to both ASP code and the database.

I'm being a bit vague here because if you're a newbie programmer/web designer, some of these changes could be a bit difficult. I'd recommend learning how the Snitz code works a bit more, then learning how to change it to suit your needs. Obviously you won't get there overnight but you will learn a lot along the way.

Thanks laser,

Ok, I just want to discard the line above the members signature in their posts and that's all for this.

I still dont know how to load admin_config_ranks.asp in the admin page, could you tell me this.

Thank you very much, indeed.
Best regards

Since the <hr> doesn't have any specific settings in the tags, it would probably be easiest if you just added a class for all of them in inc_header.asp's CSS codes. Just specify a width and alignment there (you can even change the color there if you want), and don't mess with the other files. It'll also make it much easier to make changes when you change your mind.

To get a bigger logo with the forums' navigation underneath that, you'll have to look at the first few lines below the second body tag of inc_header.asp. That's where the default logo and navigation get put together.
Instead of one table with one row, two columns at 50% width each, and a table in the right column, you'll want to make it two rows with one column each. You'll want to change the column width and perhaps alignment of the table/cells but if you have basic knowledge of HTML this shouldn't be hard as you won't have to change any non-default HTML codes.

Go to Admin Options (the link should be right below your username; and you need to be the Froum Admin to do that). That will take you to Admin Home, you are looking for Ranking Configuration link, it should be the foruth from the top left column.
