I have two problems, but firstly under the banner of my test site after I made a change to the header a '1' appears under there, and it wasn't there before. I'm not too sure what happened to make it appear. Any help getting rid of it would be great.

Also, for some reason there are two advertisements on my site, which might have something to do with the coding. There isn't two ads on v5 right? if so ignore this, but if not I would appreciate help so there's only one ad. Getting it so it's somehow over the center of the banner would be ideal, but I know it's not allowed to move the ad so that's probably not possible.

Your guess is probably as good as mine as it appears between the ...

<DIV id="content" role="main"> 0 <A name="category-1"></A>

...and that 1 is a 0 for me. (Maybe think back at any hex color you changed between when it was a 1 and now a 0?)

I'll just assume it might be something in your personal coding so ot fix these things. The blue, if you aren't going to put a 3 or 6 hex color in there then remove the whole line. Find the red, you have an extra 0 in there (or 7 digits when you need 6).

<STYLE type="text/css">

.clickable {display:inline; border:0px solid #999999; background: transparent; border-bottom:0px; margin: 5px 5px 10px 5px; cursor:pointer; font-family: courier new; font-size: 12px; text-transform: uppercase; color: #0808080;}
.tab-content {
background-color: transparent;
opacity: 0.9;
display: none; /* do not remove this */
}
#tab1-content { display: block; } /* do not remove this */

/* Active tag has highlight */
.highlight {
background-color:#0;
}

/* Clear up the list default styles */
#tab-strip {
list-style: none outside none;
margin:0px;
text-align: center;
padding:2px;
display:block;
background-color:#0;
}
#tab-strip a { text-decoration: none; display: inline; text-align: center; margin: 15px; }

</STYLE>

I highly doubt the above has anything to do with it but worth a try.

You should have an ad at the top and an ad at the bottom of your forum. And speaking of ads, you can't cover that ad like that at the top. Try adding this to your css:

body{
margin-left: 100px;
}

Set the 100 to the width of your side table.

Hey, thanks for responding.

Yeah it's kind of a mystery to me. Very annoying too. I removed all the backgrounds and fixed the extra 0 and it's still there. Could it be something in layout templates? I noticed it only appears on the homepage, not on other pages on the site.

The top ad is still in full for me, not covered by anything, but I tried that code and it looks like this:

i48.tinypic.com/98si2c.png

Maybe I'm putting the code in the wrong place? Sorry about all the questions lol I'm still slowly but surely getting used to v5.

UPDATE:

I tried going on layout templates and reset it to default, and the 1/0 is gone!! So it must have been something in there.

Good for you for fixing that! Since it was between coding that has nothing to do with you, I didn't think we'd fix it by anything you did in your own coding but sometimes mistakes can do weird things so I needed to rule that out.

You probably have a bigger screen resolution than I do (1280), that is why the ad isn't covered for you. The thing is, you need to get that fixed so the ad is never covered. Typically that margin to the body should work (using it here but I"m fairly certain it has to do with your layout.
For example, all my V5 sites have the wrapper closed in the footers. Here is mine:

<BODY>
<DIV id="wrapper"><HEADER>
<DIV id="banner-container" role="banner">

Here is yours closed in the header...(well, actually body):

<BODY>
<DIV id="wrapper"></DIV>
<P id="welcome"></P>

I'm not sure that is something you did or something that went whacky with the template again. You also have center tags centering nothing and I'm thinking it looks like maybe one too may closing div's although I'd have to tab out your coding to be sure, which I will be more than happy to do, if you want.

I never even thought of the screen resolution. Yeah, I figured it was probably my layout. I was hoping there would be a way to get the top ad to be aligned with the bottom one? I just have no idea how to do that.

I tried resetting the forum wrapper to see if it would align and nothing happened. That would be so great if you could. I'm still very new to this so I'm at a loss.

I'm new at V5 too so learning right along with you so viewing your source code, I'm not sure what is part is a plug-in and what isn't and you have a lot of plug-ins so it gets confusing. Is that side table a plug in of some sorts and are you editing it there or is this your own coding put in the old way, via your headers/footers or are you just trying out using the plug-in with your own coding? Also, if you do have this side table in your header, can you post the first line so I know where it starts. I think I know but I"m not sure. If it is a plug-in then I'm afraid I won't be much help fixing it so the ad isn't covered. Either way, I will go through that side table anyway just in case there is something we can do.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I don't think it's a plugin. I installed them to test out how they worked, and most of them aren't enabled except for Collapsible Quick Reply, Hide Avatars Builder, and Rename Profile Tabs. I tried disabling all of them to be sure and the ad is still covered.

I made the side table in the Global Headers, so it's some leftover coding from V4 that I found worked in V5. It starts at the very top:

<left>

<table><tr><td><div style="float: left;">
<div style="position: fixed; left: 10; top: 0; width: 269px; height: 100%; background: #121212 url(http://i49.tinypic.com/29maloz.png); background-repeat: no-repeat;">

Well, I cleaned up your side tables and if you want to try it and see what happens feel free. Be sure to save your current headers to notepad, just in case. If you try this and it looks wrong, first disable your plug-ins to see if one of them is causing issues or disable them before you try this and then enable them one by one.

Also, I don't have your cboxes in this so you'll need to add them back.

It works fine on my test site but not sure how it will do since your wrapper ends in the header, for some strange reason. Oh, and when you add your cboxes back, try it without these div's....

<DIV style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); width: 240px; height: 280px; margin-left: 15px; opacity: 0.9;">

.... around it unless you really want it that way. Let me know and I'll tell you how to get it back to how you had it originally.

Thank you so much for doing that. I played around with it and the site looks pretty much like it did before, only now the ad isn't hidden.

You should just double check that it's ok since our resolutions are different. I'm going to add the cboxes back after, shouldn't be too much trouble.

I had one more question about converting. When I switch my site over, which has a lot of posts on it, they won't be deleted right? And will the categories have to be re added?

It looks good for me, the ad isn't covered anymore and stays uncoverd when I shrink my screen so you are good there.

When your V4 gets converted to V5, all your posts on the V4 forum will still be there as well as boards and categories. All your members will still be members but they will have to use the global login. You may want to warn your member advance and I'd suggest having them view the video that explains how the global login works.
support.proboards.com/thread/430242/all-proboards-global-accounts-video

Actually, the video makes is sound more complicated than it is.

I think you know, however, all coding in your global/main/board headers and footers will be gone.

Anything you did on the V5 copy will be eventually deleted, I'm not sure how soon it happens after your v4 is converted. So any posts on the V5 copy will go bye bye.

Okay awesome. I'll just be keeping the same forum since I've had it for years haha. I just didn't want to lose any of the posts because some members like to look back on their writing. Thanks so much for your help. I don't think I could have figured it out otherwise.

I had another question since I'm just refining my layout now, about the mini profile. I can repost the question if that's more suitable. I'm not sure if I'm asking it in the right section and I feel like I've asked a million in here. Anyway, I want to have a sort of table in my mini profile like I have on my V4 site, but I'm not quite sure how to do it.

I made a picture of what I kind of want it to look like in MS paint. If it's not possible that's alright, I just figured I'd ask. I want a kind of table beneath the avatar and rank that contains post information, online/offline etc..

First, I want to be clear. You are talking about what appears beside your post. I ask because there is the mini-profile and the micro-profile so want to be sure we are on the same page.
So you don't want any stars or the username typically above the avatar and what about the info the user can enable to show like awards, recent status or gender? (I might be forgetting something)

This will need to be done in the layout part of the admin panel and no doubt some css added to the style sheet.
