Skin ID

[Peekaboo]

here is my forum link: Cristi's Forum

I am trying to figure out how to find the SKIN ID for "Different gradients for different skins" and I am not having much luck. I could use some help. I should know this but my mind is a blank. I tried changing the ID twice with no luck. 

I could really use some help here. Thank you!

If you know how to view your forums source code just scroll down until you see this:

var pb_bubble = 0;
var pb_skinid = 2;

To view your source in IE: "View" and "Source"
FF: "Tools, Web Developer, Page Source"
Chrome: The little 3 line thingy at the top right of the address bar. Click it and select "tools" and "view source"

Okay you will have to walk with me on this one. I am not sure what you mean . I got the view source without no plm. and i found the var pb_bubble with no plm. just don't know what I am suppose to do with the ID skin number. I made 2 skins so far and the addy is in the skin 3 ID. And I am not sure what else I am suppose to do.

Help!

Viewing your site as a guest (what you have set as the default skin) and looking at your source that is skin 2.

So you replace the 1 (blue) with 2 and add the images that will go with skin 2

cssSkin["1"] = [


Repeat the process by going to your profile, change what skin you are using, then view the source to find out which skin it is and add the images accordingly.

okay I did that and I am using skin 3 and for some reason it is not working... help please.
my default should not be my peachy peach? I have three skins the default, peachy peach and rose.

It looks like you have the rose one as default now. I see what appears to be a big rose and then a butterfly on the left top. That is skin 3.  However, you have this....

....below it so that is over-riding the code you added.  You need to remove all those and it should work.


By the way, you do know tomorrow all forums that didn't opt out of conversion will start to be converted to V5, I believe, at midnight. If you haven't opted out, I'd suggest you do so as all this work you are doing will be for naught as these codes will not work with V5. If I were you'd, I'd opt out and them make a V5 copy of your forum, if you haven't already, so you can get used to the new version. Just a suggestion.

Thank you... I did opt out and thank you for the heads up. I wish there was a way for us to pick which option we want??? The codes I have you mention, that never dawn on me. I should have known. GAHHHHH!!!

p.s. when you say copy V5 ... I am not sure what you mean? So most of the codes I have now will not work on V5?
EDIT: i TOOK  THE CODE OUT AND STILL NOT WORKING? What did I do wrong?
