Topic: Hi I'm new here

Hello, This is my first post and I hope someone can help me. Looking around I don't think my question is going to be a hard one so here it goes...

I own a ezboard and have been working in the custom html area.

I can't seem to fix the "Powered by ezboard" text as seen in the top right corner of my page.

of course it needs to be down underneath the table.

thank you

I was gonna try and see if I could find the problem, but then I came to this:

and I am now no longer inclined. . .

I aplogize if this offends u but their are ALOT of ezboard owners who steal html.

Hi LadyinRed. Don't take too much offense SpyX.

Anyway, you need to put the copyright stuff in the table with the rest of it.

I'm not sure where you want it to go but, just find the spot where you want it to go and put it in a <TR><TD></TD></TR> that way it is on a seperate line.

Hope that helps

you know, that makes very little sense to me, so let me just add.

See this part right here:

<!--CUSTOM FOOTER -->





<tr>

<TD width=741 colSpan=2 height=51><IMG height=51 src="http://www.larainmotion.com/web3.jpg" width=741>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>



<!--END CODE -->

That pretty much ends your entire layout. Then you add in the copyright stuff. You can put it right after the </TR> tag and it would fix it somewhat. Just have to find that spot within the page that you want it to go, usually the very last thing right.

Sorry, I have had little sleep and fighting a cold

Yer right..it's an easy fix. Did it in two seconds and you can as well. Go do it dear.

BTW..You better get over that swiping code problem of yours. I had a huge language site swipe some of my javascripting that my develper came up with. They adapted it to their own lessons. I was mighty pissed off. It was a great idea though.

WElcome to the net...yer here...just get over it.

that would be one way to do it but...nah the fix is easier than that...*L*...I wouldn't have told her/him.

I'm not sure what u mean by entering the copyright into my table. It is automatically entered into the board. If i was to take

<*br><*br>

Powered By <*a href=http://www.ezboard.com/>ezboard®<*/a> Ver. 7.0.4<*br>Copyright ©1999-2002 ezboard, Inc.
<*/center>

and place it inside my table in the custom html page there would be two of them

Sorry I'm new to this stuff.

LadyinRed: I might be misunderstanding this but is that copyright automatically inserted by the ezboard people (as I suppose is their right)? If so it is going to be a little tricky trying to get it to flow with your design - unless ezboard supply some kind of advice on this.

I'm looking at your code and I see:

<center>

Does the bit you can modify end at the END CODE comment? if so you can't do anything conventional there but the reason the copyright is appearing there is possibly because of your fixed width so you might want to try wrapping your forum in this:

<div style="width:100%">

FORUM TABLE

</div>

I'd also look at killing the CENTER tags as they don't seem to be working and are possibly messing things up for you.

Finding the actual solution is a little tricky as we don't know which bits you can modify and which bits are generated automatically.

I just added this <div style="width:100%">FORUM TABLE</div> and removed the </center> below

Oh, the copyright is on the outside of my table centered at the bottom of the page but that's ok it's still looks better than before!

::My Site::

table align=center and got rid of the problem immediately..in your code you just had <center> that doesn't work anymore...it's not standard HTML anymore...it may have changed the code to div align center..not sure as i didn't look ...

still get rid of the cussing..it's only going to make people swipe your code...to spite you..

.besides it's not too professional ..what if you used that in your portfolio and someone went and looked at that code..would they hire you..and hon..it's a very nice page....don't screw yourself here..remember you may one day need that page to get a job...(sorry if i'm sounding like a mommy)

Your pixels on your table allowed for space that the darn text could wrap around..make the wrap go away and the problem ends..that's why the center table worked. it forced the text down..it's like this in word and other programs too..you have to make it NOT wrap..no wrap...

then again i may be full of doo doo
