Hey everyone. Doubt any of you'll remember me (except Adrian, maybe :(

I think I just lost interest in web design, I was losing my touch; and I have literally no time at the mo cuz of my exams! A-levels start in June... :D I've designed and coded my own website! I'm very proud of it.

If anyone's got the time, it's at http://www.haze05.tz4.com

But yeah, signed up again to IM2 after I heard about what happened.

100% support for you guys.

So, who are the head honcho's here then? I read MD tried to take over the project single-handedly. So who's running the show now?

Nice to meet you all <img>
Alex.

Hi Alex. We are a community effort here. All the admins here are equal.As for MD returning, Im unaware of that. If he were to return, he would not need to "try to take over" He will always be #1 and we would welcome his return. I think your refuring to Wekke.

Guys i'm really sorry, I think I must have some names confused. Yes, I meant Wekke. I just thought I saw MD (i.e. Master David) somewhere in the forum thread 'So What Happened'. That's how I caught up with the situation here.

But yeah my apologies :D I've learnt so much since. I understand so much more about web design and coding it's unreal. Much of my portfolio is CSS :D

Just a small thing but I love how the forums change colour on mouseover, i've always wanted to know how to do that lol.

Hey Alex,

That's a javascript mouseover applied to the <td> cell... as far as I know... I just got back from a "vacation" and haven't had time to download and look at the code(56k rules!). But, off the top of my head I can't think of another way to do it(not entirely true, it can be done in CSS but it's more complicated... and I don't know it well).

Add the following as <td> elements...
Code: Select all
onmouseover="this.style.color='#000000' onmouseout="this.style.color='#000000'"


Change the #000000 to whatever colors you like, onmouseout color should probably be the original background color though.

These files are how I added the mouseover affect to this site. For almost every template, just replace the current files with these. Very few templates have image references in these files, and a few have the same color for row1 and row2 in the .css files (easy edit)

The only thing about mouse over is if you change the font attributes to like bold or something on mouse over you get problems like what you see with fisubice Blue.

On the Navigation menu some links when moused over roll to the next line because they are in bold. Just a simple edit to take the bold out and just change colors makes this a lot better.

Ah I see. Thanks a lot guys for the help with that! When I get my hosting sorted i'll give it a go <img>

I tried applying that little effect to a small phpBB board I had a long time ago...I went through ALL the theme files and there was no relevance to the colours on mouseover at all.

What I do is a take a screenshot of the mouseover colour, put it in Photoshop and find its HEX #. Then I type that HEX into a search and hopefully it'll find it...but to no avail with phpBB!

That's why i've been so baffled :| Heheh.

With the css it is easy. just look for hover as a key word, that is what is used instead of mouseover. Not sure about regular phpbb. But I adjusted mine for my IM board to my likings.

Hover does not have anything to do with the files I posted. It uses js to switch between the .css/row1 and row2
