Helmetbolt A new member of the admin team on my forum has pressed a use skin button. Now my boards background is lost. Is there any way I can reverse this problem.

Thanks in advance.

hi Helmetbolt :) I believe you shall need to replace all custom scripting and modifications in order to properly restore the look of your board.

save copies of all your codes, once you have acheived the correct appearance and style.

also a bit of friendly advice, :cool: please consider demoting all co-admins to Super Moderator status to prevent similar mishaps or headaches in the future and by doing so it will maintain better security as well as tighter control over your EXCOBOARD.

Helmetbolt Thank you for your advice. It looks like I have a bit of work on my hands.

donita I learned this the hard way on a previous board. So now each time I create a board skin I like, I just copy/paste the entire page html code into a word doc and save it. That way if I ever need it, I can just open the word doc, and copy/paste it back into the board using the Custom Template function. Saves tons of time & enerygy. :) And I am all for that!

Helmetbolt Thanks donita. I will do that. It's good to have a change now & then.

Helmetbolt I have most of it back now.

The problem I need to fix is, The forum body is not wide enough. There is too much background showing.

Can someone have a look & tell me how to rectify it please.

Helmetbolt Hi Matty. Long time no see. Hope you and your lass are keeping well. Got the board all sorted now. I have had a request for a spell checker code. Any ideas.??
