	It's really very easy. I use Photoshop, I bring up a standard 30 x 100 template, and I use different fonts, colors and effects to make the gifs. The animated gif was made for me - I don't know what was used to make it. But Photoshop is quite easy, and I'm no graphics wizard either. The Jack Daniels is just part of a jpeg that I found on the net and shrunk down.

	Okay, thanks, just Photoshop is too much overhead and I'll try xara first and if that doesn't satisfy I'll get to Fireworks for it. Thanks a lot for this nice mod.

	I think that's a problem with your MessageIndex.pl. There is no statement "elsif" in my mod. Anyone else have this problem?

	I think it's the way and place the changes are made that cause a syntax error and for some reason som curlys and /or other things walk out of line now. Can you post the text from the first time you put this "mod" (wasn't a mod then) up here (code and where to put it) I'll try to get it done manully and try to find out where it goes wrong.

	One- Your mod is missing which file to edit in step 2 (Admin/Modlist.pl) Two-I guess you are using som out of date messageindex,pl file because the string it's looking for and modifies is no good (moderator check is missing) and spacing is poor which causes error. your code searches this: Code if ((${$uid.$musername}{'regdate'} && $threadstartdate > $registrationdate) \|\| ${$uid.$musername}{'status'} eq "Administrator" my messageindex.pl (v 2.1 date 8 nov 2005 rev.1.12) has this; Code if ((${$uid.$musername}{'regdate'} && $threadstartdate > $registrationdate) \|\| ${$uid.$musername}{'status'} eq "Administrator" \|\| ${$uid.$musername}{'status'} eq "Global Moderator") { And I bluntly put that in the mod to see if that did the trick, since your code goes "before" that peace it should not be a problem. Further, after studiing your mod it ends with a curly bracket which cause a missing curly bracket somewhere els so the error is bound to happen sometime. Somewhere in the line you need an opening bracket or a closing one an because of the error in 130X I guess you're not closing tags somehow? Anyway I'll send you my messageindex.pl to give you the opportunity to try and find a solution taht should work on the newest CVS-ed version I use. ( 2 weeks old now)

I ended up using http://www.flamingtext.com it generates animated gifs and normal pix just set the dimensions to 30x100

	It doesn't seem to be working on my board. I had to change $modimgdir to $modimgurl and the pic is in the NameGifs folder but it doesn't seem to find it the image is called admin.gif

	Guess you need someone to help you on this for YaBB 2.1 to work ? I suggest contacting Curtiss Grimala or Astro Pilot to ask them if they would like to help you, or another dev who would like to jump in. This mod is really worth it, believe me. 8)

This mod looks promising but I'm hesitant as I'm running 2.1

	@Trader311, I looked on your forum and it seems you've done it and got it working on YaBB 2.1. Could you share your code changes with us ? Like to have this one installed too.

	Curtiss, could you jump in and take a look as to why it does not install ad ruines YaBB forum ? It seems Trader311 has left the building on this one.
