Hi
I just wondered where I can add the Meta info and change where the mboard looks for the stylesheet
Oh and can I call the mboard.php page into Dreamweaver or will it mess it up?
Thanks
Justin

Hi,
I wouldn't recommend loading it in DW, but you can try, just make sure you backup the original script in case something goes wrong...
To edit CSS styles just edit the "style.css" file that comes with MBoard.
To add meta tags: open mboard.php in a plain text editor (like Notepad or Wordpad) and use the search function to find: <head>
The <head> code is located twice within mboard.php: the first one is the head tag of MESSAGES and the second one is the head tag of MAIN FORUM (first page that shows when you open mboard.php in your browser). You may add your meta tags below those head tags.
IMPORTANT
Make sure you escape all quotes in your meta tags with a backslash (\). So instead of " you should use \".
Example:
WRONG:
<meta name="description" content="My website description">
OK:
<meta name=\"description\" content=\"My website description\">
Regards

Oh dear, I did that and the forum fell over:
http://www.greylizard.net/forum2
This was after putting the meta tags in with the \ bits as you said
code snip:
global $settings;
echo "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN\">
<html>
<head>
<title>$settings[mboard_title]</title>
