i can follow the thing in the sticky tab to access the headers and the footers, but being absoulutely computer stupid, i have no idea what to do once i'm there.
it gives me a list of stuff i want to fix, and whatever i click on, all i get is a big empty box that says

header

and another empty box that says

footer

am i supposed to type something into that?
i'm really lost...
and it took me like, four days to figure out even how to use the tabby buttons, and now their all gone. it's really dissapointing. just when you get proud of yourself you mess it up....

PLEASE HELP ME!! I LOVE YOU ALL FOR IT!! *big wet sloppy canadian smooch*

the Headers and footers is where you put codes and/or HTML image links to enhance your board.

ETA: I see the buttons are missing from your board and I assume you cannot access your admin area .. if that is the case Please try this If you are having issues with accessing your admin area and/or headers and footers that prevent pages from being displayed or your board from loading, and a code maybe suspected of causing the problem, do the following:

1. if you still have your board open, hit 'back' on your browser to where you added the code (headers page), you should be able to remove or edit the code(s)

2. To access your headers, follow these steps.
edit your url to this
your-board.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=login&NOHEADERS=1

Type in your username and password, click login.

then IGNORE THE PAGE CONTENT

then edit the url to this
your-board.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=headersfooters&NOHEADERS=1

You will now be able to modify your headers and footers and have access to your admin area.

Note:YOUR URL IS-->
your-board.proboards.com

Pixie,

It makes it so much easier on the customers if you spend an extra minute and add their URL in the NO HEADERS URL's. A lot of the time people get confused by this, but if you add the URL's in for them, then all they have to do is click on them and ala, their board is fixed.

ProBoards Support did not get it's reputation of being the best by having the volunteers pasting posts from the FAQ, it got it's reputation from the volunteers and staff interacting, and helping members with hands on work. Had I helped this person, I would have done it like this, to make it as simple as possible. Then this guy would leave here thinking "Wow, these guys really took the time and work to help me on an individual basis.

I feel like this,if these people needing help are going to admin a forum they better learn atleast a few basic computer skills such as typing in their own url to their forum.

i don't know if anyone's gonna reply to this, cause it's like,a really old post now....

i think i'm confused on what i'm trying to fix.
having no idea what a header is, i don't know if i'm trying to fix my header, or my admin section, or whatever. what i'm TRYING to do is get the little buttons BACK up there

the little buttons, that as an admin, say

home help search members calander admin profile logout

is that my admin section???

man i'm confused.
i really shouldn't be all admining a board, but its a posting board to hold chars for an rpg which i run. i don't actually need computer skills to hold this rpg, so that's why i'm the big cheese of it.

when i get computer problems, i ususally get my boyfriend to fix it, but i haven't been able to find him for a few days. i think it's got something to do with christmas and booze...

but yeah... help? more? please? THANK YOU!!!!

[shallah]

oh, right... i can access the header stuff easy, i been able to do THAT all along. i can copy and paste fine, i just don't know what to DO with the big white boxes. i think that my big problem with the boxes is that it's not really what i'm trying to fix??

i just want the little buttons...

Ok you need to get into your customize image section in admin panel to remove the URL you have in the HOME box for the menu bar.

Click on this link to get to customize image section. earthshift.proboards43.com/index.cgi?action=boardimages

Remove the URL's you have in the box for the menu buttons. That image is way to big.

it says

An Error Has Occurred
The skin that you are trying to access does not exist.
can you tell me the little buttons i push on the admin area that'll get me to the right place?
