I can't be bothered to read this thread, but when you highlight a link here:

... it goes white.
Furthermore, is there any plans to get the dark theme from ACC on here? The current one blows monkey cock.
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:
a Emoticon pick list anyone?
b When you go advanced, all your formatting tools vanish. Odd, really.
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...
I enjoy making things pretty, I'm more frustrated that vBulletin has gone from what seemed like a rather simple, and quick way to rapidly change style colors in version 3, to what they now have in version 4, which is getting numerous complaints. The continuing strife created by the ever present war between Coders and Artists... :mad::up:
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".
Search: postbit
Resulting List: postbit_thisOneThing, postbit_thisOtherThing, postbit_thisOtherThingVersionA
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.
can we move the ellipsis threshold for page numbers on a bit further? Currently, we have this situation in may of threads.
1,2 ... 4
which is in fact fairly stupid
It seems that every page on here has the same url (http://www.theworldforgotten.com/forum/index.php), which makes linking absolutely impossible. What's the deelio?
Lazy forwarding. http://www.theworldforgotten.com/forum.php
Which means?
www.theworldforgotten.com/forum/index.php was not a valid address after the upgrade. I was worried that people wouldn't get from the 404 error that they needed to go to the base page, so I set up forwarding, only I was really lazy about it, so when you get here from that address, your address bar doesn't update.
I may do something about it tonight.
The quick solution though is to not use that address anymore.
Oh, ok. Thanks for the info. You're the forvm g0d.
I'm sure someone somewhere mentioned that the dark text in a dark box in the dark vision style isn't really working out. Any way to change the quick reply text to white?
EDIT:
Same goes for editing posts....
EDIT 2:
On a different computer and the text inside the boxes is white. Looks like I've have to screw around with my cubical machine.
What browser were you using when you saw the dark text in the quick reply box?
Ability to unsubscribe from Forums/Subforums...you can do so for threads, but I can't find a way to do so for forums or subforums...
Can we get a fifteen minute window to stealth edit posts? (ie. if I edit the post in that time slot, the edited tag won't appear) I usually re-read my own post after submitting it, and tend to find something to add. And I don't think it serves much purpose to clutter up the posts with notes about last-minute edits.
I upped the time limit to 10. Does that work? 15 (and probably even 10) seems a bit much given how rapid-fire this place can become.
I can live with that, thanks :)
Using IE (whichever is the latest) on Windows XP, the little icon that's supposed to indicate which threads I've posted in doesn't show up. Anyone else has this problem, or is it my browser?
The little green circle with a white check mark? I see it beside which subforums, and threads I've posted in.
IE7 on XP
I've never seen this before. Its the same post, no editing between screenshots. The forums, or my browser is putting the 2nd "down" in the post, but I'm not able to copy it, or edit it out. :confused: I've tried refreshing, editing other parts of the post, yet that ghost word remains, until I highlight it....

Thread dotting/marking of threads I've posted in doesn't seem to be showing, although it does in the test forum. Don't know if its just happening for myself or others are affected as well.
"View Site Leaders"
I for one ... :)
Should we be optimistic and have a new members section to encourage the lurkers signing on? Maybe not a whole section, rather a sticky thread. A regular thread could drop off the first page when the avalanche of new members evaporates.
