Little bit of vBulletin help?

Post by **o'dium** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 12:43 pm

I'm just doing new icons as a test on the Blur forum, and i noticed that the icons up top (search, home, etc) all have a space inbetween each picture.

Anyway i can remove this, as its not what i'm after?

not a specific vbulletin issue, it's HTML.

make sure there are NO linebreaks or whitespace between the individual img tags.

One last thing though, any idea how to tell your browser which images to store? It re-loads each of the pics every time i refresh or go to a new page, and it gets a tad annoying. The logo in the top left doesn't thoug, which is odd.

Can this be controlled?

Yeah it can, here are a few articles on cache control etc:
http://ontosys.com/php/cache.html - Requires some PHP knowledge, but the guts of some stuff are there
http://www.badpenguin.org/docs/php-cache.html - More basic, more good nuggets of code

Basically it's the header() function that does the magic, but if you don't want to screw with vBulletin's PHP then there are some HTML options:

http://www.wdvl.com/Internet/Cache/cache2.html - Probably the most applicable

Hope this helped
