under that add your code for media any types you want. the code in other section within this best forum.

option to add smiles or picture:
just do this code for example:
admincp/sitenews/newmessage
add code:
<img border="0"src="http://img49.exs.cx/img49/5939/p5qd.gif" width="50" height="50">

width is as your choice for image
height is as your choice for your image
if your smile is located somewhere in your forum, just simply to change
<img border="0"src="./images/smiles/yoursmile.gif" width="50" height="50">

good luck
this will work for any vbulletin ver 3.x to 3.07 latest one
any question just post here or pm me

as i steped on first post. and the author already instructed.

GO DO YOUR ADMINCP and adjust it.
you can stop it scroll or left or right or loop

just because it the basic html code. you can either way to add
music: mp3,wav,wmv,wma,flash, or anything you want in there.

remember if you want to add music or movie or anything you must add the BBCODE in your section.

this hack works great.

* DeadGaze clicks install

If anyone could suggest a way for enabling the below to work:

eg. Welcome back, $username
the above only shows the code and not the name of the logged in user... I am using the wrong code or need to do something to enable it?

Thanks in advance.

Arnoud · 03-18-2005, 04:44 AM

Try:

Welcome back, $bbuserinfo[username].

I'm not sure though, havent looked at this hack.

I am just trying to get the user's name to show in the Scrolling News Bar.

example:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

I cant seem to get the right code to show the user's name when he is logged in and veiws the forum home.

Not even sure if your post was directed to me, ptalksoft.
But i thought it might be.

Thanks in advace.
