red box

[Hot Rides]

So I put a msg on my website to remind people to login so they can comment and rate pics. I codded it so it only shows when not logged in. I used css to put it in a red box so its more noticable, now the box wont go away

code for the meassge using a custom header

Code Select Expand


<?php
$customloginmsg1 = 'Welcome to Hot Rides User Web Gallery. Please login or register to more fully use our site, After logging in you will be able to upload pictures and comment and rate others.';
$customloginmsg2 = '';

if (!USER_ID) {
  echo $customloginmsg1;
} else {
  echo $customloginmsg2;
}  
?>

code in template.html of theme to make it show

Code Select Expand




<div class="CUSTOM_HEADER">
{CUSTOM_HEADER}
</div>


css code

.CUSTOM_HEADER{
background: #FF0000;

margin-left: 25%;
margin-right: 25%;
height: 40px;
width: 50%;
padding: 5px;
border: 4px;
text-align : center;
