Hi

I am a complete newbie to FUD, having only just installed it, I must say I like very much what I see. However I have a couple of questions.

I would like to change the colours of my board and the first thing I would like to is change the tableheader graphic colours, I did this in PSP and uplaod the changed images keeping the file names etc exactly the same. but this has made no difference.

also would like to know if you can use flash (swf) as avatars.

and the clock timer on the bottom of the page is blacked out, not displaying like this one.


thats it for now, hopefully there will not be too many to bug you all

To change the images you need to make the changes and then rebuild the theme for the changes to take effect.

You can use swf avatars.

I don't know why clock timer is blacked out, never seen that happen.

yep I did that but still no joy. Can't get flash avatars to display..they are hosted on another site and I have the correct link for them. When I try in my profile I get the message that only jpg, gif and png are allowed. so it seem I have to enable flash(swf) somewhere. This would be important to my members. also

You can actually upload a flash avatar just fine, but at the moment it won't be visible, I'll look into the problem and see if that can be fixed for the next release.

Could you send me 1 of those avatars (doesn't matter which one) so I have something to test against.

Still working on it. The easy fix did not work because swf absolutely require an extension to work and cannot be safely places inside the <img src=""> tag. So a more complex solution needs to be developed that will likely require changing how the avatar system works.
