Export In Box info at the top for other pages?

[Rat Boy]

Here is what I am wondering.

Here is my forum lobby: httr.cpnd.us/

Here is a page I made, where I tried my best to duplicate our header from our forums: cpnd.us/pages/Redskins_Depth_Chart.html

I am wondering if there is any way to extract the code needed to get the:

Hey, Rat Boy, you have 175 messages, 0 are new.

Out and put it on custom pages?

The only reason I want to extract it is for uniformity and so the banner lines up between the two pages.

Thanks in advance..

Unfortunately, that's against TOS (see first bullet point):

support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=coderequests&action=display&thread=81655

So is that page I have set up in this thread also a TOS violation?

If so, I am guessing ProBoards doesn't get used a lot professionally?

Otherwise, how do you create a nice site where everything is uniform with a real home landing page?

The difference between what you have set up and what is against Proboards TOS is that what you appear to have is links to your site, which is fine. What is not okay is to grab data from your forum to display on an external site, such as trying to grab a person's username, PM inbox, etc.

I've seen plenty of forums used for professional sites. Something you might want to look into is the "Splash Page" or "Portal" or "Create New Page" in the Code Index, which will create a look exactly like the page you've created (in fact, you can probably just use most of what you have) but on the forum itself, so that you don't have to worry about extracting data.
