I had the snowflakes and the bees on my forum before. Now I have flying bats. Here's the script.

Thanks for that - I've added it to my forum. Looks cool!

[Nick(NR)]

the only problem with this is people, it don't work well with black forums as the bats are well black , but great all the same.

[Sukisue]

lol! That's true. It works for me though as my background is white, and my logo is red, so it goes well with those bats eyes!

[Ziddy1232]

Um... where do i put the code?

[Sukisue]

I just stuck it at the end of index_body.tpl after everything else that was already in there. Actually, I don't know if that's what you're meant to do, but it worked! Use the editor just incase things go wrong!

[Nick(NR)]

forum footer would be a good place, providing it works in there, don't know haven't tried it.

[Sukisue]

I think it works there too. I didn't want it on every page, so I put in in index_body instead.

If you have a black forum you can find a .gif of a ghost and change this part of the code........http://www.excessvoid.com/pictures/anibat.gif....to point to the ghost .gif.
