at least you're paying attention...
knowing that IE will load the body info first, try altering your theme template to use the onload commands for the newbb java scripts.
To call more than one function, for example:
<body onLoad="popMessage();popMessage2()">
don't forget the () bits or it won't work.
Inline styles can also work, but will slow down other elements being loaded, as IE will spend all it's time geekin on the style info.
****on a side note, you do realize that this fabulous cms and all of it's modules, as well as they are designed and implemented, are merely meant to be a starting point for you as a designer or developer. to get specifically what
you want, will always require alterations and changes in method.
****advice; tread lightly when asking for help...it would suck to be on a good developers 'blacklist' when you are in need of help woth something that has made your site completely unusable.
Enjoy!
