I have to say that I like "happy chirps" best too. It's different, and it covers a whole range of meanings including Like and Thanks.

Sorry guys but it doesn't look like the Happy Chirps button will be doable. I spent about 3 hours setting everything up, then it crashed the forum quite spectacularly, and I spent about three more hours getting it to work again. I had to reinstall the backup (among other things) so we permanently lost a few posts that were made between the time I made the backup and the time the forum crashed. I think the Happy Chirps just aren't compatible with the custom style that the board had when I inherited it.

The thanks-button modification was made to go with the standard Prosilver style, and there were a few areas where the current style (AeroBlue) did not have similar original coding, which is probably what caused the crash. I might be able to install the Happy Chirps if I switched over to Prosilver. I don't know how difficult it is to do that; it might be easy or it might be horrific. It's a more blah-looking style than the one we have right now. Here's a comparison. You have to imagine our bird banner at the top of either one:

The current style, Aero Blue:

I found some additional information that might help me fix the incompatibilities. So I'm going to try it one more time, and you'll probably see the forum go offline for a few hours today.

They definitely don't make this stuff easy. Making changes is complicated. The instructions aren't very clear, and there's a help forum but you don't always get help when you ask. That's why I've been procrastinating, I knew it was likely that this would happen.

But it would be a nice feature to have and I'll learn more about how everything works, so I'll give it a try. So wish me luck, I'm going to need it!

:compslap:

It's almost an act of masochism to try again but I'm a stubborn cuss. If I do make it work I'll have more confidence later on if I find another special feature that I'd like to add to the board.

Haha I know what you mean Tielfan :lol: :lol:
Even if at the end you decide to stay without the modification, not trying will leave an itching feeling on your brain... well at least that's how I feel about this type of things ... plus you gonna learn this stuff inside out which is great!

Good luck!
