I'm just so brim-full of ideas. Like this one...
Wouldn't it be nice if a user starting their own sub-forum was able to redefine the background color? Or at least of (as I imagine it) the background of the one sticky post they put up top when they create the sub-forum inviting other posts?
Did that make sense? or should I do another pic

Makes sense, but I think that's getting into a whole other mod.
While I don't want to discourage, I think some of the more fundamental issues of the subforums need to be worked out... that's not to say you couldn't take it and run. Wouldn't be the first time one mod led to another.< |

Very good MOD, I've installed it and works fine. Just one question: should it be possible to add another subforum level?

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoy it.
With this MOD, no. I agree with the conclusion of the MOD's originator in that there should only be one level of sub-forums since it cuts down on the potential for confusion.
If your interested in the beginnings of that debate, check out the first page or so of this thread.
I'm still interested in your opinion on this. Also keep in mind that this MOD is still a "work-in-progress" and as such there are some updates coming. Namely better MySQL support, and some bug fixes... due as soon as I can finish them.  < |

oh yes, Anonjr, I've already that 3d in my bookmarks because I was very interested....that's why I've to say "thanks" to you again 
Do you think it'd be very difficult to add another subforum level?

Depends. You'd probably have to start at the beginning again. This MOD uses the "Parent" field to determine if its a sub-forum or not. You might add a second check to see if the parent is a child of another forum, but now we're starting to talk about a lot of hits to the database.... something to avoid if you're on a shared-host or using Access.
It's probably do-able. And it can probably done with the existing code. I'm just not sure if its worth the effort. I've already run into problems with people understanding the concept of 1 level of sub-forums... but in their defense it has more to do with the current code not changing the parent's icon to reflect a new post in a child forum.... something I've been working on.
I guess that when all is said and done, the best answer I can give is "it depends".... it might be easier to start from the beginning again.< |

Just about all the work I do with Snitz these days is with the Speed Ball 2 code (aka SB2). Thats the big reason why you see two versions of the code in the download - one for those using SB2, and one for those using the base code (or close enough to it ). I know there are some quirks with the base code simply because I'd forgotten to add back some things that I'd moved to CSS with SB2.
That's why I asked. Also it helps to know which version of the code I ought to be looking at.< |

My fault, I should have asked even earlier... got a link so I can see what you mean?
Also, are you referring to the title near the top of topic.asp? Like where you see "All Forums -> Category -> Forum -> Sub-Forum -> Thread Title"?
Assuming the above, you're probably going to need to edit the <td ...> in topic.asp around line 400(ish).
In a clean file it looks kinda like:
" <td width=""50%"" align=""left"" nowrap><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & vbNewLine & _
I would guess that since there is now a new level, your text is larger than the 50% originally alloted. You can change that to something a little higher (remembering that whatever you do will probably affect the links to the right of it) or you can remove the 'nowrap' attribute (remembering that the wrapping will almost certainly look ugly since there are a bunch of spacers that are being used to indent the tree).
Hope this helps.< |

posting 2 screenshots to clear what I mean, AnonJr...
This is the Forum main page....
(sorry, forum is in Italian... )
Category A Agricoltura, caccia e Silvicoltura
--Forum 01 Agricoltura, caccia e relativi servizi
as you see, I've removed the sub-forum titles below the forum title containing them...
Title of Forums (Agricoltura, caccia e relativi servizi and others in the main page) wrap normally, but if I click on "01 Agricoltura, caccia e relativi servizi" link to see the subforums it contains, forum.asp appears so:
----Sub-Forum 01.11.1 Coltivazione di cereali ...and so on
All titles don't wrap...is there a way to make they wrap automatically? Please consider I need very long title (if I remember well, I've set up 100 the text lenght in topic.asp)
Thank you for any help....

ahhh... got it.
I can't see why its not wrapping... unless it has to do with the fact that it fits in the space available as is...
Got a link to the forum? (Which I might add is very spiffy looking from those screen shots. )< |
