PROTECT YOUR PROFILE SOURCE

*** An idear of Leoni***

Finally there ... the very often asked security of your profile source. now chatters can't steal your images and codes from your profile anymore. Here it is:

<h5 oncontextmenu="return false" ondragstart="return false" onselectstart="return false">And here the rest of your profile :-)

 

Add this code at the complete top of your profile. It is even possible to combine the code with the code for the background of your profile, for example:

<h5 oncontextmenu="return false" ondragstart="return false" onselectstart="return false" style="margin-right: 0;padding: 3; border: medium ridge red ; background: url(http://www.rentadabo.cistron.nl/rdimg/bgclouds.jpg)">

Admitted ... this source security can be bypassed by a very experienced source voyeur, but it will cost much more efforts.

SEPARATE FRAME

*** We honor Frank for this idea ***

You can display a part of your profile into a separate frame. You can give it a different color, background,  text, images and equip it with  a scrollbar. You can do all of that with the following code:

<h5 style="width:200;height:105;overflow:auto"><h5 align=center style="margin-right:0;padding:3;font-family:comic sans ms;color:red;background:black url(http://dabosite.mine.nu/bg/bg4free13.jpg)">
and this is one with a background image :-).<br>Add all text and images to like to display into the separate frame.<br>A nice feature to display your friends list!!!</h5></h5>

The above code will look as follows at your profile:

and this is one with a background image :-).
Add all text and images to like to display into the separate frame.
A nice feature to display your friends list!!!

All red values can be replaced by values which fit to your profile. The option overflow can have the following values:

CHANGE COLOR NAME AND/OR BACKGROUND AT PROFILE INFO

You can change your name into each color of the rainbow. Sometimes the name of the color is to long because of limited space. Then use the hexadecimal color code. Then you are only using  7 characters. For example; change 'chartreuse' into #7FFF00. 
Go to 'edit own profile' and click MORE. Fill in the code at the box named 'FirstName'. See example next to here. Fill in your name at the box named 'LastName'  Click << here >> for all color codes. Do not forget to save your profile after you are done with it.

 

It is also possible to give the name area another background color. There is an important limitation. You are allowed to use only 6 characters for the color. So, a color code (like #7FFF00) will not work (it has 7 characters) but the colors red, lime, marine etc, can be used.
Go to 'edit own profile' and click MORE. Fill in the code at the box named 'FirstName'. See example next to here. Fill in your name at the box named 'LastName' 
Be aware: the "> next to the box, does not mean anything. Nevertheless, you have to end the code with ">, the other characters you see, is a little bug of the chat room. You will see them always. Click << here >> for all color codes. Do not forget to save your profile after you are done with it.

 

This code allows you to use any color code you like (max 7 characters). Using this code, only the text (your name) will have an colored background. That's the only difference.
Go to 'edit own profile' and click MORE. Fill in the code at the box named 'FirstName'. See example next to here. Fill in your name at the box named 'LastName'. Use hexadecimal to be able to use all colors you like. Click << here >> for all color codes. Do not forget to save your profile after you are done with it.

 

Here the code to change background and text color. We got it from Kanjertjuh 13 ... thanks!!!
Go to 'edit own profile' and click MORE. Fill in the <h6 style code at the box named 'FirstName', this will take care of the background color. Fill in the <a style code and directly followed by your name at he the box named 'LastName'. This will take care of the text color and your name. The 'LastName' box has no limitations, so you can choose each color you like here. Click << here >> for all color codes. Do not forget to save your profile after you are done with it.

HIDE PROFILE INFO

A special one: Hide all your info !!! 
Go to 'edit own profile' and click MORE. Fill in the codes at the box named 'FirstName' and 'LastName'. Use the <br> code to hide row by row. Even the buttons 'Profile' and 'Homepage' will disappear. See example next to here. Do not forget to save your profile after you are done with it.

CENTER OR ALIGN YOUR PROFILE

Not sure if it will work with Netscape  :o(

A centered profile looks very nice, that's my personal opinion. All what is in your profile will appear in the middle, images included.

And it is ABSOLUTELY not difficult, actually it is perfectly simple ... 

If you already added a background and/or a border, you have the <h5 style=.. code on top of your profile. Just add the code to center your profile to that code and change it to:  <h5 align=center style=".... Below here you see a complete code to center your profile with a border and background included:

<h5 align=center style="margin-right: 0;padding: 3; border: medium ridge red ; background: url(http://www.rentadabo.nl/img/bgclouds.jpg)">

When you have also a code included to modify your font, add the center code align=center  to that one ... for example:

<h5 style="margin-right: 0;padding: 3; border: medium ridge red ; background: url(http://www.rentadabo.nl/img/bgclouds.jpg)"><h5 align=center style="color:red; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Your text here ...

When you want to align your profile the same rule is valid ...

Instead of center a profile you also can align it. This means that your text will be aligned to the right and left side of the profile window. Like the text you see in this window.

Images will be aligned to the left side of the window.

To let this work, just replace the code center by justify. So ...:

<h5 align=justify style="margin-right: 0;padding: 3; border: medium ridge red ; background: url(http://www.rentadabo.nl/img/bgclouds.jpg)">

Would it be a surprise, when we tell you that you can also align your whole profile to the right of your window? Guess not ... When you want to align your profile to the right use the code  align=right ...

This is an example to align your profile to the right of the window. Sometimes this could look very neat.
For example for a poem you added to your profile. It will give text the extra attention it deserves.

Images will be aligned to the right side of the window too.

To let this work, just replace the code center by right. So ...:

<h5 align=justify style="margin-right: 0;padding: 3; border: medium ridge red ; background: url(http://www.rentadabo.nl/img/bgclouds.jpg)">

 

You don't have to use the code for a certain alignment at the complete profile. You also can use it for only a small part of your profile. Just add the alignment code (<h5 align=center> or <h5 align=justify> or <h5 align=right>) in front of the part you like to change and add the end code </h5> where you want to stop it again. That simple ...

HIDE YOUR INTERESTS

Can you remember ... when you became a member you could activate a lot of interests, and now you are sorry for that because the whole list is at the bottom of your profile. Don't be sad, you can remove them again. Go to 'Edit' and then 'more'. Now choose 'Interests' and you will see three categories. Clicking them will allow you to de-activate them.

What remains at the bottom your profile is the following:

interests:
This user has selected no interests

When you want that removed too, you have to add a special code at the bottom of your profile. Everything after this code will not appear at your profile anymore. The code you have to use:

<h5 style="display:none">

That's all. All behind this will not be displayed, and your interests are gone too ...

CHANGE YOUR MOUSE POINTER

(Again ... :o( ... does not work with Netscape)

It could be fun to change the mouse pointer at your profile, just change it at a small part or even for a picture alone. That is possible (only with the common pointers know by Windows) by adding following  code to the <h5 style=".. code: cursor: ....... When you like to change the mouse pointer into the well known little 'hand' (normally only displayed when moving the mouse pointer to a hyper link) you have to add the code: cursor:hand at the code for the background of your profile. For example:

<h5 style="margin-right: 0;padding: 3; cursor:hand ;border: medium ridge red ; background: url(http://home-3.worldonline.nl/~tl231984/bgclouds.jpg)">

You can replace the option hand by all other pointers. The table below will show a list of all other pointers you can use. Just move you mouse pointer over the list to see how they look like ... 

crosshair se-resize
hand sw-resize
move s-resize
e-resize w-resize
ne-resize text
nw-resize wait
n-resize help

When you want to change the mouse pointer for only a small part of your profile, you have to add a new <h5 style=".. code and add the desired mouse pointer code to that one. When you want i to stop again use the end code  </h5>. A complete code will look as follows:

<h5 style="cursor:hand">And this is the part of your profile which will have another mouse pointer ... </h5>

You also can add the mouse pointer code to an image, de code could look as follows:

<img style="cursor:hand" src=http://home-3.worldonline.nl/~tl231984/img/rentadabo2.jpg>

'LOADING MP3' IMAGE FOR YOUR PROFILE

While downloading your music file, you could display a small image to alert your visitor that music is still loading. After the MP3 or WMA music file is loaded and the visitor hears the music, the image will  disappear. You can do that with the following code:

<img dynsrc=http://home-3.worldonline.nl/~tl229281/redalert.wma lowsrc=http://home-3.worldonline.nl/~tl229284/img/mp3-ld-pulse-zwart.gif >

CONVERT MP3 INTO WMA

Idear by Freesellers.

Many people ask us, how we make the WMA files, that is why we decided to add some guidelines here. What you need first is the program 'Audioconverter' . This is the program we use ourselves and has even more nice features, like converting CD's to WMA or MP3 files and much more. You can download the program (zipfile) << HERE >>.  

When you don't want to do it yourself, you can ask us to do it for you by using our  mp3-to-wma conversion service.

The audio converter is installed and you can use all the options of it.

Do the following to convert a MP3 file into a WMA file:

You can use this program to convert CD's directly into WMA files (CTRL-D or 'Audio CD' at the menu) too. When you want to convert a CD into MP3 you need some more files. These are also located at the zip file you downloaded. The name is mp3.zip and the files from this zip file have to be extracted into the program directory (standard C:\Program Files\Audio Converter) of the Audio Converter.
