Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
Is it possible to make it so that the new posts icon/thread color stands out more? It's a bit too similar.

Noted. We would have to install all new icons for this, it can be done, but is not a priority right now.Collin wrote:Looks so much better! Thanks for all the hard work!

You may now embed YouTube videos. To do this, click the youtube button in your reply, then copy/paste the video ID from the youtube link. Example (brackets substituted so it didn't actually embed and you could see the example):Admin wrote:We will be getting around to finding a youtube mod soon, styles will wait for a while, blocking spam is our priority right nowjessep28 wrote:1.

Well, on a bright note, name changes can now happen, and my signature makes sense!

We are hoping on some informative Urban Development posts from Garrett, in Chicago (formerly Axel from Omaha) to inspire worthy converse on this site!Garrett wrote:Well, on a bright note, name changes can now happen, and my signature makes sense!

Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
You should see a difference now. Some of the more common icons I changed to better differentiate read/unread, others I left in place. Should look a bit more familiar now.Admin wrote:Noted.

Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
Just for fun I added Strikethrough text. This may be utilized with the S button (right next to the YouTube button) in the font controls when you reply.

Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
Is there any to flip the names and posts back to the way it was? Names on the left, posts on the right?
Like most people, I read left to right and it looking over to the right to see who is posting then back to the left to read their message is kind of annoying.

Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
I looked into it, and it's a fairly involved change. But I can dive into it more tonight and see what I can do.

Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
As you may see, we now have an assortment of fonts you can use.
Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
For some reason when I press one of the BBCode buttons, focus is lost in the text box and the tag isn't being inserted. I tested this on Chrome and Firefox.

Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
It was working fine earlier. Must have been when the Fonts were added.
Does anyone ever use the fonts?

Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
The code works, just not the buttons. So, when I press QUOTE for instance, a blue box appears around the button and the code isn't being inserted. I would have to manually type the bracket commands to use that BBCode function.Admin wrote:None of the BBCode works in a Reply?jessep28 wrote:For some reason when I press one of the BBCode buttons, focus is lost in the text box and the tag isn't being inserted.

It does this on both new posts and replies.

Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
Restoring the font/code button issues blew away the changes to the read/unread icons. I'll be taking care of that in a little while so hold tight.
Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
We believe that the "no post" error is resolved. If anyone runs into it please document it and post it for us.

Just did this for you, and all who are used to the old style.

Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
Thanks!
While we dismantled the Drop Down Font mod, we kept the BBCode for any font, so you can still use {font= {/font to get the same change from the default Arial font.
A few other mods added... the footer is much more cleaner, and has an icon legend, which we hope to clean up also, but we would have to code the whole mod ourselves....
Also, if you add your birthday to your profile, there will be a birthday wish on the footer...

Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
We are sorry for the board being disabled for a few minutes a little while ago, but we needed to install a few MODs, including the new BBCode board (found when you reply to a thread). We haven't tested everything out so far, so if you find any parsing mistakes, please let us know what went wrong and how you got there.
Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
No need to apologize at all, I think everybody greatly appreciates the work you guys are putting in, I know I do!
Re: Modifications to eOmahaForums
One thing about the new BBCode board, Tuna's YouTube code is gone and replace with {BBvideo} with a default width, height.
You will have to again use the "http://youtube.com/watch?v=" but it supports 'dozens of media sites and file formats' (movs, avis, divx, ram, mp3, wmv, etc)
If you need help on the new BBCode board click the button on the right.
We are not responsible for the YouTube video on the BBVideo help section. We will try to change that when we have the time.

Sorry Tuna, but every time we refreshed the Prosilver style, the icons you used kept getting changed back, so we decided to just alter the icons in the directory itself.
