Changing Forum Color

How does one change the Forum color.

I remember originally the forum would come up and I could change colors? I haven't done this in 1 year, and I'm looking for the color changes but can't find them.

I also can't find where to move the Forum Headings Text. I think you used to be able to either center the text or move the left or right??

Thanks in advance

To change your forum colors in this version go to admin panel again..

admin--skins/forum colors---modify skin--select skin proceed to next page. Put in hex colors to change the colors.

About your second question what exactly you trying to center? Is it the category titles cause use UBBC tag's to center them.

[team2win]

Thank you,

Yes I'm trying to center the category titles.

Also, I just purchased the ad-free option and everytime I change a page to do something it counts as a pageview. Is this correct?

[Snakeair]

Everytime a page is loaded it counts as a page view. To center the categories you just put this code in your main header.

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.catbg
{
text-align: center;
}
-->
</style>

Or you can go into modify category in admin panel and select each category and put this UBBC code in to center titles.

[center]Category title here[/center]

Thank you,

Now I'm trying to change my title background color and an error keeps coming up:

The following errors were found:

One or more of the colors entered had errors. All colors must be entered in proper hex format. If you need help with the colors, you can click the button next to each form field to have a diagram of some colors you can choose from. Make sure that all form entries that require colors are filled out (none may be blank).

I do not understand why I'm getting this error. When I click on the Modify forum, I'm only changing my title background color. There are 3 areas that are blank,
1. board highlight color
2. board text color
3. category text color

I don't want to change any of these at the moment so since they are blank I've left them blank, so I don't know if I'm suppose to place a value in these three boxes.

Thanks again

Post your board URL please.

Make sure you using a 6 digit hex color in those box's. Don't leave any box's blank. For additional hex colors look at this link. halflife.ukrpack.net/csfiles/help/colors.shtml

[team2win]

Thank you I figured it out by placing hext into the boxes and all is good.

As I continue I have more questions.

I'm did a search to see how many people made over 10 post on the Forum.
A list of members comes up, but I can only delete them. Is there anyway i can send just them pm's or emails or place them in a category for them to be able to view certain threads on the Forum??

Thanks again

[Snakeair]

You can send them PM's and emails but right now can not give there member group access to certain categories or boards if that's what you are getting at. There is a suggestions board open right now here for suggestions for the next version.

[team2win]

How can i send them emails or pm's.
All I can do is check the box for deletions, no boxes come up for emails/pms??

Thanks again

If you view the members profile you'll see there email address to be able to send them a email. In your admin panel under "manage members" there is a option to "email all" which emails all your members in one shot.

To "PM" members click on this icon "" or to "PM all" members go to admin panel and look under the section "manage members"

Hello,
I'm not referring to email all.

I just would like to pm or email only those members who have made over 10 post.

If I look up the members by number of post, THEN can i only send messages to them. I'm trying to single out the members who are posting and using the forum for added incentives.

There isn't any way to do this in this version of proboards. You can search members like that but can not email all of those members who made over 10 posts unless you PM them individually.

[team2win]

where's the suggestion board??

[Snakeair]

It's right below the support board where you posting now.

[Patrick [ASE]]

when you've done the search, you can click on their names to go to their profiles, from there you can get their USERNAMES (not display names)

then send pm, and enter their usernames in the box like this
user1,user2,user3

note comma's between, not at end, and no spaces.

or send each a pm from the link in that search.
