Forum Update!

[BFM_dStruct]

Also, I can't see who's voted in polls, Majors and higher used to be able to.

That is a forum permission thing and something that I cannot fix.

Hey, while I'm here, is it possible to have a brighter online icon? Or a darker offline icon? It's not super important, but they're so close in color, it's hard to tell (when looking next to their name in a thread, in a person's profile, it'll say "online" or "offline" next to the icon).

The icons were taken directly from our old forums. Also, those icons you posted are the ones our forum is currently using.

It seems I'm not able to edit someone's post using the quick modify thingy, this icon in the bottom right of everyone's post: 

I can edit my own posts using it, but I can't edit other people's posts with it. It opens the text field, but when I press Save, it goes back with nothing changed. I can edit other people's posts using the regular Modify button.

For testing purposes, may I ask how you turned that feature on?

Not acceptable, I need to know who's voting on what immediately.

There must have been online or offline text  then, because I never had a problem telling if someone was on or off (or did I?). Poo! But oh well.

I don't think it's a feature that can be turned on or off, nor is it a permissions thing. I see them on all posts because of my rank, but even someone who's just a registered forum guest should see them on their own posts. As a Sgt, you should be able to see them on most posts I would think. Here is what I see, if you don't have them. If that's the case, Slim's getting a PM...



Thanks for looking at this and for putting up with me, d3

The icon never used to be on the left of the users name. I will look into adding an online and offline button just for you

I actually have it there and was just confused lol. I tried aswell and it wasn't saving for me either, but I was getting a Loading bar appear on top of my browser. It must be a Javascript issue. I'll add it too my ever-growing list :p

In the, "Change Color" drop down menu. There Is no longer, "White". There Is only Wheat, and Whitesmoke. I remember seeing White earlier, not sure what happened to It. But now It's gone. I can still enter In the code manually, though however.

[BFM_Xtr3me]

the 16 most basic/most used colours are up the top of that list,
White is above AliceBlue and below Gray
but you could enter the code manually if you wanted to,

Um, it's great that the (16) most commonly used colors are up at the top of the list now, TYVM for that, but...

Could you put them (the top 16) in alpha order, perhaps?  (And I can only assume that they will be displayed in their stated color at some point, perhaps?  If not, could the top 16 be displayed in color at least?)

Thanks again for doing all this, those working on this huge project!

[BFM_Ben1]

This may be underway already, but to go with the colours theme

could the word of the colour be in the colour of the colour that the word is saying. ok i think i over-complicated that but you probably understand me

[BFM_dStruct]

We are working on displaying them in their colours.

[BFM_Kiwi]

Putting them in their colors is possible, but nowhere near as easy as in the old software.

'Figgured as much, hence my suggestion of the "top 16," above....

If Kiwi or I figure out how it is done, then I will be more then happy to spend the time going through and making them all appear in their colours, it is just we don't know how to do even one colour yet.

Also, they will be in Alphabetical order on the next update

Go to Themes/default/scripts/editor.js and edit it.

Scroll down to lines 1567 to 1568 where it says :

if (sSelectValue != '')
   sOptions += '<option value="' + sSelectValue.php_htmlspecialchars() + '">' + oCurButton.oOptions[sSelectValue].php_htmlspecialchars() + '</option>';

change that to :

if (sSelectValue != '') {
   var vall = sSelectValue.php_htmlspecialchars();
   var afontcolor = ' style="color:' + vall + ';"';
   sOptions += '<option value="' + vall + '"' + afontcolor + '>' + oCurButton.oOptions[sSelectValue].php_htmlspecialchars() + '</option>';
}

and don't forget the curly braces

[BFM_dStruct]

Yay! It works

Will be back in the next update!

P.s - I may be PMing you with more questions as they appear if you wouldn't mind?

I think this one might've gotten lost in the details, but when you go into a board with children, the diamonds at the front of Child boards aren't activating when those boards have "new"/unread posts in them.
