    Default a couple of IPB forum questions (formatting, images)

    I have a couple of relatively minor questions about the free IPB forums.

    I notice that on the user registration form, everything appears in bold, like this:

    Please choose a Username
    Usernames must be between 3 and 32 characters long
    On other IPB forums I've seen, it appears like this:

    Please choose a Username
    Usernames must be between 3 and 32 characters long
    I looked in my language file, which is where that text is stored, and it says this:

    Code:
    Please choose a Username
    Usernames must be between 3 and 32 characters long
    So it's not supposed to be all bold. This isn't a major issue but I wanted to track it down so I know how to fix things like this.

    I was also wondering whether there were any plans to allow people to replace more images than just the header image. I don't have any major complaints though. So far almost everything has worked great, so thanks for providing a useful service.

    Default solution to boldface problem

    The boldface problem may be a combination of a bug in IE and a problem with one of the fields in the language file in IPB.

    To fix it just make this small change:

    Go to the admin control panel. Go to Languages, Manage Languages.

    Edit the default language.
    Edit the lang_register language file.

    Change the <ibf.lang.std_text> field from

    Code:
    [b]Please ensure that you complete all the fields fully, taking particular care over the password fields.
    to
    Code:
    Please ensure that you complete all the fields fully, taking particular care over the password fields.
    Notice the open boldface tag in the first one.

    Default adding registration info

    I do have one other question however. Is there a way to add registration questions to the reigister section without editing the registration skin? I thought there might be an easy way to do this.
