chat link to forum

[Skyfreak]

since we are talking about a few changes, I would suggest that we have a link to a chat room added to the forum links, just simple to click and enter the chat. so it should be FAQ Search Memberlist Usergroups Recent topics chatroom
Profile You have no new messages Log out [ Skyfreak ] base

I didn't do it on my forum, but there is a page where you can change the template of a default template, and make it your own. Such as ST's for example is Solaris, but admin has edited the Solaris template so that there is a Spacetrace logo in the top left corner. Also the template has been edited so that the ForumUp logo is not on here anymore, and also that the advertising at the bottom of the page is allowed.

So I think it would work, if I know what your talking about.

yeah that is pretty much it, you can change your template default on your hd, and then it would work. i think admins know a bit morfe about that, but time is money and they haved to live too lol, or well, lets take their cars and boats away and then they have to put all energy into spacetrace bla bla bla
