Actually with just simple CSS, HTML and Javascript, you can also customise your own tags to be used on the boards. I used to do that to my board and I find it very interesting to do it. Especially when you make something really attractive, such as the border is the picture of a lady's leg sticking out, or the background of your tag can be a lock in greyscale or something. Its just designs that you launch your own creativity.

Well can I appoint someone to do it and give them hosting credits? Or can someone have m^e post here (after all its his script) or can someone tell me with a little bit more instruction?

Well you can see my topic here but I was wondering if anyone could or would be able to help me install this on IPB 2.0.x ? If you can and are interested, I can give you some hosting credits or place a link to your webpage on my forum or something of that nature. Just e-mail me or PM me a message.

Or if anyone has any idea where I can get help with this. Thanks. (Sorry.... did not know where else to post this?? )

I'd check with Buffalohelp or Microscopic^earthling. They are probably the most experienced members for this task. And neither of them need the credits, lol, so it might turn out well for you...

Ok.. thanks. I think I will PM them or something. I sent Microscopic^earthling a PM but he has not replied? So if you could direct him here, since its his coding and stuff. See what he has to say. Thanks.

I thought it was understood how to install them from my previous post. If you are looking for step by step instruction here it goes. You must be pretty fluent in CSS, file location and bit of HTML knowledge:
The below is something I'm thinking about proposing for all tutorials--when applicable--if writing an instruction:
Knowledge base needed:

basic HTML editing
advance IPB ACP knowledge
basic FTP

Time for completion:

under 5 minutes (without modification)

1 - download m^e's files
2 - upload graphics to the loacation you want to store (in your forum directory etc)
3 - modify notice.css by editing location you're storing needed graphics files (this can be http://... or if you're planning to store the notice.css file in the same directory then just 'filename.jpg' will do)
4 - upload notice.css to a directory where you want to store this notice.css file
5 - modify notice.html to point to correct location of this notice.css file
6 - access ACP > Custom BBCode Manager > Add New BBCode
7 - Add a new custom BBCode as follows:

• Custom BBCode Title: NOTE (or whatever you want to call it this is just the title for the tag and NOT the actual BBCode name)
• Custom BBCode Description: (enter whatever you want to say to describe this, i.e. Admin and Mod usage only)
• Custom BBCode Example: (this explains how to use it, again just few words will suffice)
• Custom BBCode Tag: notice (or whatever you want your BBCode to be called)
• Use Option in tag? Yes
• Custom BBCode Replacement: (this is where you copy the HTML source, from the downloaded file, to this area. Just copy and paste the whole code)

8 - Click on 'Add BBCode'

And you're done. If you need to modify the looks of your note, just edit your CSS and HTML file like any other webpage file and you should be set.
