Blahdocs Forum / Chit - Chat / WOW Theme and Eblah in general
Posted by: Vicious the Jester, June 13, 2007, 4:42pm
I'm new to E-Blah (Justin installed my forums on Monday) and I love what I see so far. Kudos to Justin and those who have helped, tested and paved the way for a truly impressive forum software package.
Now that my forums are up, I'm looking for a "look" that fits my theme (I run an RPG related site). I went through the themes (AMAZING work Martin) and fell in love with the World of Warcraft theme. I'm having 2 problems with it however. The first one is that the header graphics don't show up. There's space for them, but they don't load. The second problem is that I'd like to reduce the real-estate taken up on top. All those pretty graphics are great, but a little less will give more screen space for reading posts etc.
The forums are at:
http://www.caernest.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl? I use Firefox as my default browser (if that makes any difference, but I believe I checked this out in IE6 as well). It could be something very simple, but I'm new to the software, and I haven't figured everything out yet.
Thanks for any help.
Rich

Edit your template.html and template.css files in the blahdocs/template/WOW directory and do a find and replace for this:
World_of_Warcraft
and replace it with this:
WOW
That should fix your problems.

I had to change things in a few other spots as well, but once you got me started, I understood. Thanks a bunch!
Now I've gotta figure out how to slide the welcome statement, private message statement and those buttons up further into that patch of background art to shrink the amount of real estate taken up on top of the page...
