Hi VanillaOrchid- everyone loves the new look and features. Apparently some love it so much they want some of the code you used. How do I handle this? There is now a discussion (2 of them actually) in the Support Board about this. Someone wants the personal font sizing code. I'm not thrilled with that, but there really isn't much I can do since there is no copyright atttatched to it and I'm not sure if it's unique to my forum or not... help!

There is a copyright on the Font Sizer code is says "Change font-size by Dravu" as Dravu was the one that created it. Also, it's not exclusive to your forum as Dravu originally created it for Enchants forum. It was just that when I asked how to get a different font sizer code working with Proboards he gave me that code. So while the code is not in the Code Database on PBS it is publicly posted so any number of people could be using it already. Apart from the font sizer code what else are they wanting? Basically all the coding that I put in are things freely available in code databases, were codes posted in code requests or is just some basic HTML. So it probably isn't a big deal if they want to use various codes. Of course, you technically wouldn't have to just hand over the coding to them. You could just point them in the direction of some code databases and tell them that is where the codes came from. LOL Totally up to you. Can you link me to the threads in Support that you are referring to?

The only other thing that someone was trying to take was my Saybox code...go figure. But the size code was the most important to me. Like you said I realized that the others were already out there so to speak. See I never knew that code could be directly lifted from someones forum without their permission. Thanks for the quick reply.

Yeah, you could always link her to that thread I linked to where Dravu posted the code for me. Why anyone would want your SayBox code is beyond me. I guess the person doesn't realize they can sign up to get their own. LOL Yeah, codes can be taken from a forum without permission but majority of people wouldn't know how to do that. I figure if the codes are available in code databases then it's really not a big deal anyway.
