Title: Be cautious when using codes
Post by: shimmy shabby on November 08, 2008, 10:24:50 pm
Make sure to follow all the directions.
Example:
If the code somewhere has something like http://YOURFORUM.smfforfreeX.com
and in the directions it tell you to change that, and you don't; You can easily can find your self in a big mess.

Sometimes you can work around these problems if u accidentally mess up your forum and can't get at it or what ever.

Disable javascript in your browser and go to your forum, USUALLY this will work.

Disabling javascript in Internet Explorer:
Tools < Internet Options < Security Tab < Custom Level
Scroll down to the scripting section of the list. Click disable or Enable
Close and restart your browser.

Disabling javascript in Mozilla Firefox:
Tools < Options < Content < uncheck "Enable Javascript".

This might also help if that doesn't work and your forum isn't redirecting:

If you want to remove ALL the codes from your Headers, use this:

http://YOUR_FORUM.smfforfreeX.com/index.php?action=style;sa=clearheader
Change YOUR_FORUM to your forum name, and the X to 2, 3 or 4.  If you have a server 1, you will not need a number, so just remove the X.

If you want to remove ALL your codes from your Footers, Use this:

http://YOUR_FORUM.smfforfreeX.com/index.php?action=style;sa=clearfooter
Change YOUR_FORUM to your forum name, and the X to 2, 3 or 4.  If you have a server 1, you will not need a number, so just remove the X.

Another great idea is to make a test forum and test all your codes there before using them on your actual forum.
