In the end what I did was to download and install "CoffeeCup RSS News Flash"
It's a free bit of kit that allows you to create a Flash applet that you then just embed into your site as you would any other Flash app.

Navigation Bar Problem
http://www.brummiesfans.com/main/index.php Can someone please tell me which CSS items control the appearance of the Navigation Bar? In particular the text colour and the roll-over/hover properties. I find it very confusing that some CSS elements are in common.css and are then repeated in colors.css,...

Changing backgrounds to blocks
Is there a way to edit the CSS so that the background "padding" to Portal blocks can change colour on roll-over / hover (call it what you will lol)? What I'd like to do is to have a semi-transparent, repeating GIF/PNG image as the permanent background, which then switches to a full-blown &...

Re: Customising ProSilver
Hi again...progress being made slowly. I've just re-hashed the border graphic, but in doing so, discovered that in reality, there are two backgrounds that I now need to change. As you can see, www.brummiesfans.com/main there is a grey table background that the forum sits in, and also there is a whit...

Re: Customising ProSilver
Thanks for the pointers in the right directions. The mechanics are working, just a case of getting some artwork rattled up. Mind you, I really could do with a pointer as to which CSS file and which attribute I need to doctor to cut down on the padding and empty spaces in the Portal left and right co...

Re: Customising ProSilver
There's a weekend ahead and I'm hoping for a bit of quality time to spend getting the style on my site a step or two nearer the target.
How will the overall_header and overall_footer need to be amended to give the menu bar and rotating masthead graphics?
Thanks
Martin

Re: Customising ProSilver
I'm already down to 150, but I think that there is more than enough padding in the cells. Which CSS controls the padding in the block tables?LDM wrote: To change box widths, have a look in portal settings..

Re: Customising ProSilver
Well, I've sorted out the rounded footer corners, but blow me down with a feather if I can find why those little Gallery and Download icons aren't showing. The server says that the files are there now but the header doesn't even seem to be keeping a space for them. ANYWAY, that's just a temporary is...

Re: Customising ProSilver
OK, back on track after a million and one distractions. OK, now to do a bit of sorting out loose ends. The first ones that spring to mind are: 1) The Welcome block in the portal needs sorting out. I want all the blocks in the Portal to resemble the style of the Latest Images Gallery Block and also t...

Re: Forgotten Password Button
Thanks for that. Nearly there now. Any idea why the forgotten password link goes to the /ucp.php?mode=login page even if the /ucp.php?mode=sendpassword script is used?

Re: Customising ProSilver
I would actually say, if you are not copying the mod edits over to it, just use prosilver standard and mod that with the borders and then work on the colours . You can get prosilver looking like SE very easily. Yeah, that was pretty much my intention, the only thing though is to find out which file...
