Too many to count. Just recently returned to ZetaBoards (felt like having a xF license was a waste but honestly it's gotten too pricey to keep up so i'm gonna sell it off and stick with ZB)

Making an entirely new forum too. :)


Some codes I use off the top of my head: Cory's Mood icons, Gamertag Protips in topics, affiliates scrollbar at bottom of forum. Will be installing a few ZetaBoards Pro things soon, as well as the Nexus Bar. :)

Some really good codes to implement, especially the shoutbox codes you have mentioned. Wonderful way to use a shoutbox without having cboxes and discord like is very common nowadays.

Awesome. Can't wait to see it. Nexus and their codes are absolutely awesome. It's something I wanted to make a long long time ago but never had the expertise for it. The Nexus bar is wonderful for finding new forums. One question I have is, I've seen scrolling affiliates on ZB quite a bit, but why not implement it like a lot of RP forums do and just have a box with them at the bottom of the forum? You could make it so that it grows in side based on the number of affiliates so that it looks nice and small and grows in size as you add to it :)

Here's a snippet of how I have mine, keep in mind this is based on my old forum (I don't have graphics like a logo or affiliate image made for my new forums yet.

My question is, why have it scrolling when there are so few? In my opinion there are two problems with displaying affiliates in this way. The first is that animations like scrolling shouldn't be used when it's not necessary, such as in this case where it doesn't add to the functionality in any way. The second is that affiliates should be displayed for maximum visibility to ensure they are viewed. There's no need to have a scroll animation of a short list of affiliates.

A good example of affiliation and how to display affiliates is how most RP forums do it. Here's an example: http://demonrealm-rpg.com/
All you really need is a box, with a link to a thread where members can register to affiliate and grab your affiliate image and link.
Code:
 
<table style="width:auto; margin: auto auto;"><tbody><tr><td>
<a href="#">Affiliate with Us</a>
<div id="affiliate-container">
Images of Affiliates Here
</div>
</td></tr></tbody></table>

That definitely works as well. :) I've seen some people who do it really well and add descriptions and links to their affiliates as well.
