Glowing forum text

Hi there people. Im not entirely sure that I am in the right thread
for this, but it seemed to me to fit the criteria.

I saw a while back, a mod to phpnukes integrated phpbb2 forum
that enabled glowing text and shadows.

At that moment, I was still using pure phpbb2 so didnt think I
would ever need it. Now im creating a php-nuke based site
and I kinda want the glowing text options back, but i dont know how.
Normally id try to find it on portedmods but for some reason
i cant access the downloads (no, its not a login issue, its a 4-oh-4 type problem)

Anyone know where else I could find this thing?

Thanks in advance

As hitwalker said, most of the filter properties doesnt work in firefox. Some require additional style to work even in IE6. For fun i downloaded one and noticed the BBcode hack code was missing a few required. If you don't get the code to work in IE, try add background:transparent; or width:100%; to the code, like for example

Code:

<span style="filter: glow(color={GLOWCOLOR}); height:20">

to

Code:

<span style="width:100%;filter:glow(color={GLOWCOLOR}); height:20">

For the record, Opera might display filter as IE does.

i think that mod on ppbbbhacks.com is for straight bb. You need the ported version for the nuke site you mentioned.

Ok, seeing as im an utter noob at this thing, i did a complete site backup before trying anything out. Made a mistake or two, but i actually got it to work, and jaded, the one you had was the exact same file that hitwalker supplied Smile

YAY for you guys for showing me where to get it

Cheers for me not botching my site up to fubar Smile
