Many many thanks... this is what I wanted.... thanks again....

[Owdy]

If you want modify that "more" output its in that:

Code Select Expand

'more' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0"> More</a>',

like this maybe:

Code Select Expand

'more' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0">(more)</a>',

You can use a stylesheet to fix it.. or use font/span/div/whatever.

Way is this not working then ?? (I think it's wrong, but I don't know whats wrong) ?!

The styles:
<style>
.style1 {color: #FFFFFF
   text-decoration:none;
   font-size: 8px;
}
</style>

The Code/Include:
<div class="style1"><? include("http://www.alliedassault.nl/yabbse/SSI.php?ssi_function=boardNews;board=29;limit=1;length=150"); ?>
</div>

I know that i'm doing something wrong but what ??

[[Unknown]]

Try:

.style td
{
   color: #FFFFFF;
   font-size: 8px;
}
