What are those icons next to each thread that look like a sheet of paper? They don't seem to have any use.

Good question... I think those are like the little yellow icons on the old forums. At some point we need to get Psilon here to make us a custom theme...
Yeah, the huge envelope-icons are also pretty ugly/annoying (and they are a lot smaller in the legend at the bottom..)
The dark theme looks nice. :up:Quote:

I know most of the basic ones but not all. Others might know even less. Can you add them in there? That would leave the quick reply box still relatively clean.
In your settings, go to Forum Settings, at the bottom there is the Message Editor Interface, set it to WYSIWYG
Illusions is working on that right now. We'll have a classic blue theme soon. If Psilon or anyone else wants to work on a theme too though, I certainly wouldn't object.Quote:

Do you think you could move on to satisfying my needs now?Quote:

Furthermore, is there any plans to get the dark theme from ACC on here? The current one blows monkey cock.
Illusions is supposed to be doing that.Quote:

Illusions is going to need time, because there is only so much spare time, and the documentation for changing a style is 3 separate ~ 40 page .pdf files ...the forum end of that is about 85% done, I just need to change some images, and hunt down a few style variables that weren't documented in the .pdf on forums... :bulb:Quote:

c The last forum had these nifty metrics showing %of total posts you represent, your most posted in thread, etc. That was fun.
Oh, also, the icon legend is wrong for the default style, not sure about dark yet, but I will check. It currently says a green dot with an arrow is for threads that you've posted in, when in reality what is used is a green dot with a check mark...
Sounds fun for you. Really.:shifty:Quote:

Goddamn Frenchies
Its nice when that happens, sans the beatings. Or when the coders are former artists, or at least have some idea that people don't want to deal with having a frequently used function buried 3 menus deep, activated by clicking either an ambiguous name or icon. Or when they don't bother to use the same conventions throughout their own program. For instance, one of things with changing the style is that you have a list of stuff on the left, and when you select something, it displays its properties in a window on the right. Ok, fine, I can work with that. Some of them aren't named intuitively, or break the search function. So if I have a group of things called "postbit" I might miss one or more properties that change the same thing "postbit" does because some moron decided to call some of the other properties "post_bit".Quote:

I then wonder why certain things aren't changing color, then remember...
Search: post
Resulting List: post_bit_yetAnotherThingA, post_bit_yetAnotherThingB, post_bit_yetAnotherThingC, postbit_thisOneThing, postbit_thisOtherThing, postbit_thisOtherThingVersionA
:sour:...
Also, on topic:
Is it a bug of vBulletin in general that I have to show the software there are no unread threads in a subforum? If one simply clicks back to the main forum listing page via the Forum link, or whatever, without going back to the thread listing under Site Discussion, the little icon doesn't change next to the forum and it's really annoying and aaaagh
Minor request: can we get the member list back, with ability to sort by date of joining? Useful for keeping up with who recently joined.

1,2 ... 4
which is in fact fairly stupid
Is there a link to it in the forum or did you just save that link from before?Quote:
