Oh Nice!

it looks ok, but i have to say i like the new smiley system over this solo image system, or it look solo from what i can tell.

This update will be applied to all forums within the next 15 minutes. Just waiting for the current files to be backed up

All changes have now been put online. Any problems then just let me know

sweet ross!

Also your link is broken. Real link is: http://blog.hostedmessageboards.com/?p=42

Error 1: (The Font Size and Font Family text should match the forums text color)

Error 2: (The popup windows background should really match that of Window1, other wise people with white text wont be able to see anything.)

The colours for the drop-downs are all based off of the settings on your modify colours page. The "UBBC Background" is used for the buttons and drop-down backgrounds. "UBBC Border" is used for the drop-downs font colour and button border colour.

The pop-ups are supposed to use the window1 bg. I just forgot to change that setting (a fix will be uploaded in a couple of minutes )

@ Nick: It looks like the wordpress installation has broken. I'll investigate

Personally i think having it set for the drop down color and the border color will cause problems in a persons design, my sites a good example for that, the text should be white, and the border should match the forum over all border, in the case of my forum, so if not an error it can be a good suggestion on something taht could be changed

On the forums I tested it on, I found using the forums overall border colour really did not work well. It's difficult to get the balance between keeping things easy to setup and fully customizable. It can be set through the style sheet very easily though:

/* Drop-Down Titles Colour */
#ubbc_buttons .drop_down {
color: #333;
}

/* Drop-Down Options BG Colour */
#ubbc_buttons .drop_down div {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
}

/* Drop-Down Options Text Colour */
#ubbc_buttons .drop_down div a {
color: #333;
}

hmm ok that will work. I didn't think about the see aspect of it all.

Edit: the css wont work on my forum at all.

If you're entering it via the "Modify Colours" page, you'll need to add "!important" (without the quotes) after the HEX colour code.

eg. color: #ff6600!important;

It's just to do with the order the CSS is outputted in.

ah ok

The CTRL feature is awesome.

I guess I should thank you Ross - One of the reasons for my lack of use of vF has been the WYSIWYG editor ... never did like it - and it made posting codes etc... a complete pain.



Perhaps I can look to further use vF now

EDIT: When pressing 'tab' then 'enter' from the post message box - it takes you to the first person's profile in the topic sumamry. Not direct to the 'post' button. Perhaps you could rectify the tabstops?

Versions with updated tabindex are now being uploaded

It seems now when on full reply, pressing Tab takes you to "Check spelling" in PM's.
