Script Modifications Need Can't Post
Hi, I have a chat script that needs to be modified. The modifications would be, reverse the page layout so that the user name and message boxes are at the bottom of the page, take out pull down menu, and make it so user ip's don't show in the chat rooms. I'm on a very limited budget at the moment because of a computer meltdown, that about killed my pocketbook. If you can help please let me know,
Thank You,
Lesia

Hi Lesia
I'm willing to help modify the script for free just email me at woodduck@bigpond.com with the script and a full list of modifications and the script either as an attachment or inside the email it's self.

Best regards

Peter Crouch

We are more than willing to help. If you would like to post the code here, we could get started on it. Also if you would prefer emailing it, just email it to one of the moderators listed in the forum.

Thanks

Brian Hayes

Re: Script Modifications Need [In reply to] Can't Post
Brian, I couldn't find the email addresses, so here's the script. My email address is tmhlmg@northcascades.net if anyone prefers I send it as an attatchment. The modifications needed are, reverse page layout so that the text and user name box is at the bottom of the page, take out the pull down menu, and make it so user's ip's don't show in the room.
Thanks,
Lesia
