Can this be done just as in post.asp?
Any help is appreciated.< |

Find the following on line 440 and add the code in green:else
intI = 0
tT_STATUS = 0
tCAT_ID = 1
tFORUM_ID = 2 Find the following on line 480 and add the code in green: end if
if intI = 0 then
CColor = strAltForumCellColor
else
CColor = strForumCellColor
end if
Response.Write " <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ align=""center"" valign=""middle""><a href=""topic.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID & """>" Change the occurrences of strForumCellColor on lines 487, 535, 543, 544, 545, 552 & 554 to CColor.
Find the following on line 568 and add the code in green: rec = rec + 1
intI = intI + 1
if intI = 2 then
intI = 0
end if

For your second block you could use intI=(intI+1) mod 2 to condense it.< |

Oh, there's many other ways to achieve this, some, such as your suggestion, more efficient than what I posted but, for the sake of consistency, I provided code that was already in use on other pages

| In that case consistency of efficiency is the best choice.< |

He's talking about using modulus division. I tend to use a similar (but not quite the same  ) technique when doing this sort of thing in my work. While he's right that that approach is more elegant and probably more efficient, IMHO it probably won't make a noticeable difference.
Ask 10 programmers how to do something and you'll often get 20 different options at minimum.  < |

As AnonJr said it's a diffrent way to do the same thing +1 adds one and %2 divides by two and takes the remainder.
My personal favorite way to do this is i=i?0:1 which mean is i is true (1) i=0 else (0) i=1 Unfortunately that approach doesn't work in ASP.< |

Ah!! Programers are far better than Economists then. 50 economists will give you 50 different answers to the same question.
Have you heard about the old professor of Macroeconomics who year after year gave the same exam. Only the answer changed year after year! 
Thanks for the explanation.< |

Cool tweak,,, installed and all works satisfactorily.. I have observed with the alternate colour cell (strAltForumCellColor) if the number of post causes the thread to pagenate, the page links background colour remains as the original colour (strForumCellColor) see image below. However if the original cell background has additional pages it stays as the same colour ie both strForumCellColor. I am sure a genius will provide a simple solution..
kindest regards andy< |

Find the following on line 792 of forum.asp (may be a couple of lines further down if you've already applied the changes above) and change the strForumCellColor to CColor or just delete the bgcolor attribute completely:ref = " <td align=""right"" valign=""bottom"" bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """>" < |
