New msgs in a subboard

[jindroush]

Hi,

I apologize if this bug was already reported, but I was unable to come with reasonable search query 

When new message is entered in a subboard, the 'new messages' light at the left doesn't turn on on parent board. I can't believe that could be a feature 

It's kinda hard to find such a new message when its 'light' is hidden in the second level of boards.

What theme are you using, in the default theme theres a half bight icon for new posts in sub boards.

I'm using classic. I don't like default, and it also renders incorrectly on my system (fonts too large for the small boxes/buttons)

You've probably messed with the index template, or made changes that have caused it to use quirks mode instead of standards mode.  Both themes use the same size fonts.

I'm using the original files. I haven't touched them.

Even here, if I add ';theme=3', the text 'Search' doesn't fit into the button, and 'key stats' box text overflows too.

Using Mozilla 1.7 on WXP SP2 eng. No problem in MSIE 6.0 though.


That doesn't solve my problem anyway  I want to see sub-board 'new' status even in classic, if that's possible.

Try hitting Ctrl - 0.  That should reset your text size.  Should that not help, try pressing Ctrl-F5.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox 1.0, and I experience none of these problems - using any of the themes available on this site.

Find, BoardIndex.template.php:

Code Select Expand

$board['new'] ?

Replace:

Code Select Expand

$board['new'] || $board['children_new'] ?

That doesn't help. I suspect that 'large fonts' may play some role in this. I'm using 1280x960 on 19" crt, so the larger fonts are needed for me.
