    2 Quick Questions

    Firstly, i would like to express my complete satisfaction with the simply amazing service you guys here provide - it is wonderful!

    I have 3 quick questions which should be easy to answer!

    1. Avatars and Smilies

    I would like to add a pre-set library of avatars for my members to use. Where can i get a set of good avatars from?
    I would also like a large library of great smilies, but don't know where i can get them from either. Any clues?

    2. Forum Text

    I would like to have some text displayed on my forum, in exactly the same place as the white text on the top right of this forum (vBulletin 3.0.1 and url) but instead my domain name and url. How can i do this?


    Many thanks!

    1) There are lots of free avatar and smilie sites that will show up in a www.google.com search.

    Here is an avatar pack that has been floating around these forums for a while - http://www.mscclan.com/storage/files/avatars.zip

    And here is a good smilie site - http://www.mysmilies.com/

    2) Go to your:

    Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Common Templates (in the menu)

    In your header template, remove the red code and add the green code in its place:

    Code:
    <!-- logo -->
    <a name="top"></a>
    <table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
    <tr>
    	<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
    	<td align="$stylevar[right]">
    		[color=red]&nbsp;
    <!--
      NEW HEADER &amp; NAVBAR
      
      Now that the nav buttons are in the
      navbar template, you can stick whatever
      you like into this space.
    
      This makes it much easier for novice
      admins to customize their header
      template without affecting important
      navigation elements.
    -->[/color]
    		[color=green]<div style="font: bold 14pt verdana,arial,helvetica; color: #FFFFFF">
    			<em>vBulletin 3.0.1</em>
    			<div style="font-size:10pt">
    				www.vbulletin.com
    				
    			</div>
    
    			
    		</div>[/color]
    	</td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    <!-- /logo -->
    
    <!-- content table -->
    $spacer_open
    
    $_phpinclude_output
    That is the code used on this forum. Change the text appropriately.

      1. I don't know any sources for avatars and smiles but I'm sure someone will.

      2. Edit your header template.

          I have implemented this, but would like to set the color the same as the page background so that is is dynamic for every style.

          Is there a way to get it to use the Page Background color instead of the font color?

            Try just removing the color attribute from the code. It will probably inherit the color:

            Code:
            		<div style="font: bold 14pt verdana,arial,helvetica; [color=red]color: #FFFFFF[/color]">
            			<em>vBulletin 3.0.1</em>
            			<div style="font-size:10pt">
            				www.vbulletin.com
            				
            			</div>
            
            			
            		</div>
            Otherwise remove the style tag and specify a class instead, like this:

            Code:
            		<div class="header_text">
            			<em>vBulletin 3.0.1</em>
            			<div style="font-size:10pt">
            				www.vbulletin.com
            				
            			</div>
            
            			
            		</div>
            Then go to your:

            Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Main CSS (in the menu)

            Scroll down to the bottom. Add this code to the bottom box under Additional CSS Definitions:

            Code:
            /* ***** style for the text on the top right of the forum ***** */
            .header_text { font: bold 14pt verdana,arial,helvetica; color: #FFFFFF }
            Do this for each style. Use a different color code for each one.
