i want to customize the word "Register" in the Guest Welcome Block.

i want to make it dance, or shiver, or vibrate. some cool html. i've played around with modifying some thing in templates, but nothing has any effect at all, so i know i am going about it the wrong way. any ideas?

here is my header_welcomeblock_guest template, i bolded the portion where i think i would need to add some sort of markup:

Quote:<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
lang.username = "{$lang->login_username}";
lang.password = "{$lang->login_password}";
lang.login = "{$lang->login}";
lang.lost_password = " &mdash; <a href=\"{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=lostpw\">{$lang->lost_password}<\/a>";
lang.register_url = " &mdash; <a href=\"{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register\">{$lang->welcome_register}<\/a>";
lang.remember_me = "{$lang->remember_me}";
// -->
</script>

<style>
.jc{
position:relative;
}
</style>


<span style="float: right;">{$lang->welcome_current_time}</span>
<span id="quick_login">{$lang->welcome_guest} (<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=login" onclick="MyBB.quickLogin(); return false;">{$lang->welcome_login}</a> &mdash; <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register">{$lang->welcome_register}</a>)</span>

here is some of the markup that i've been thinking of using, it uses javascript so maybe that's why i can't get it to work:

Trembling Text

Neon Lights Text

Nudging Text

i'm also open to any other ideas. i don't want a pop-up that says to register because that is oooohhhh so annoying to people. what i do want is for the link to "Register" to be quite obvious and appealing. right now you can barely find it.

I'm pretty sure you would need to edit global.lang.php 

/inc/languages/english/global.lang.php

Go there, edit that and find {$lang->welcome_register} - you can where it says "Register" you can add stuff around it, or whatever.

You can try something explained in this thread: http://community.mybb.com/thread-82696.html

But I'm not too sure.

Using the trembling text as an examle,

Put the script that needs to be put in the <head> section in the headerinclude template

Step 2 asks you to wrap the text you want modified with the span elements. Hence in the header_welcomeblock_guest template, the line

lang.register_url = " &mdash; <a href=\"{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register\">{$lang->welcome_register}
<\/a>";

becomes

lang.register_url = " &mdash; <a href=\"{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register\"><span id=\"jiggle0\" class=\"jc\">{$lang->welcome_register}<\/span>
<\/a>";

Are you trying this on the site in your sig? If it is then I don't see the span edit in the header_welcomeblock_guest. Are you sure its there? Can you post your header_welcomeblock_guest here

yeah, it's that site.

and no, you won't see it, because i tried it then took it out.

let me retry...

and i'll post both the header_include and the header_welcomeblock_guest templates below...

Again this is for the trembling text.

A few changes to the script to make it work with current standards and make it compatible with prototype.

Your headerinclude:
