I can't find the adinfinitum.css file. So I couldn't edit it. In "Foren-City" it's not possible, I think, isn't it?

I managed to solve it so it looked good in both browsers, and shortly thereafter FireFox released an update.. and it then looked like on your photo.</p> <p>It's all in the CSS, look for "input" and the height setting.. if i remember correct. :) </p> http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/topic.php?id=36#post-150 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 11:37:11 +0000 mike 150@http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/ <p>Sorry for the late reply, exams..</p> <p>I did not do the head on the AI.

I would like to see my own header in it, but I don't know how to do this...<br /> Is it possible to show me, how it could be edit?</p> <p>LG, Mina<br /> (http://panikforum.foren-city.eu/) </p> http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/topic.php?id=36#post-145 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 02:23:38 +0000 feniks 145@http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/ <p>Hi!<br /> Mike, how about license for your works? I mean, on my phpBB we use AdInfinitum with this amazing head in header. Lately we thought about t-shirts with our logo. Can we print on t-shirts this head? We can attach any information you wish, for example, "design by Mike Lothar", or "design by mikelothar.com".<br /> And finally I'm interested in license of your templates; is it GNU, GPL, or what?</p> <p>PS. Who is on this image?<br /> PS2.

Any idea why the input boxes are being cutoff? It's only been like that since I've installed 2.0.23. Could you point me towards the right file to edit. I'm guessing it could be fixed in the css?

I got about quarter of the way through before giving up in despair. The shear number of templates I had to edit and the extent to which I needed to edit them drove me totally insane.</p> <p>The SMF devs are claiming that they will be releasing a new default theme which will have a much simpler template system, so I may revisit the situation then. I could have cobbled together something which was 'almost' like NoseBleed, or just converted your existing table based layout over, but I'm not keen on doing it unless I can do a full semantic conversion which exactly replicates your original design.</p> <p>Off-topic: In the mean time, I have hacked the bajeezus out of the SMF system to create a support forum for my new (still under development) website. This was much easier than NoseBleed though as it is a very basic design.</p> <p><a href="http://pixopoint.com/forum/" rel="nofollow">http://pixopoint.com/forum/</a> </p> http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/topic.php?id=9#post-139 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:12:31 +0000 Ryan 139@http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/ <p>I agree that phpbb is a nightmare to theme. So are vBulletin and SMF.</p> <p>But I find that bbPress is just missing far too many features to make it a viable option for me. Even with plugins, it is still a little lacking on the feature side for my liking.</p> <p>I've spent the past week hacking the crap out of SMF trying to make it do what I want. It was hard going, but I'm almost there. With bbPress it would have been a one day job to code the whole forum.</p> <p>Even if I didn't want the extra features of the larger (more bloated?) forums, I'm still not sure I'd go for bbPress. Vanilla seems to be a little meaner, leaner and off-base forum and I'd seriously consider it instead. </p> http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/topic.php?id=9#post-138 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 22:04:20 +0000 glanceup 138@http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/ <p>Re: <a href="http://www.guytrap.com/bp." rel="nofollow">http://www.guytrap.com/bp.</a> Mike is correct. This was formerly running in phpbb 2.0 with his strangeworld template and is currently running bbpress with scoun template.</p> <p>It is possible to transfer from phpbb to bbpress but so far the transition hasn't been smooth. I had to hire a sql guy to transfer the db and there are still unresolved problems.</p> <p>Once we get it worked out, I will post details here. We started with this script:</p> <p><a href="http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/</a></p> <p>It kind of works, but returns a lot of errors and doesn't properly populate the db with users and posts. </p> http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/topic.php?id=31#post-137 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 16:49:53 +0000 Shagalaga 137@http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/ <p>Thx!!! </p> http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/topic.php?id=31#post-136 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 09:34:36 +0000 mike 136@http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/ <p>What a late reply.. busy busy..</p> <p>You can change the menu in these two files:</p> <p>login-form.php &lt;-- users not logged in will be able to see this<br /> logged-in.php &lt;-- for logged in users</p> <p>A new link would look something like this:</p> <p><code>&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;../index.php&quot;&gt;&lt;?php _e(&#39;Main page&#39;); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;</code> </p> http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/topic.php?id=9#post-135 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 09:29:56 +0000 mike 135@http://www.mikelothar.com/shout/ <p>Honestly, i don't know how, but i do think it's possible.
