I mean the last (new) icon here:

/images/theme/quickbuttons.png

The one with a ! on it...
it was not present on previous releases......
Where is used? just curious

Have you had any joy with my news feeder Crip?  Not wanting to rush you of course

It can be used on most any post or topic by clicking the drop down.

I'm only partly bumping - this is still an issue, but I have another one I want to ask you as well.  This has been an issue right from the start and not really bothered me as it's only me and my co-admin who can see it.  However, now my forum is getting pretty damn near perfect I'd like to try and sort out all the little things too if possible.  I've attached a screenshot to illustrate, but basically, in the Moderate menu dropdown, the "Unapproved posts and topics" runs into the "Unapproved attachments".  Is there any way of fixing this please?

I've been posting this in the 2.x support thread, but just discovered that there is no problem in the default theme, so I'm back here.

I'm running Actualism on SMF 2.0.2, but although my News Fader works exactly as it should with Firefox and Chrome, with IE9 the news items just show all together as a static list.  I have already checked the .css file and saw that the news fader is already set with the six digit hex code rather than the shorthand, and as I said, the news fader works just fine in IE9 if I switch to default theme.

Please, how can I fix this?

Changing it to 210 didn't work, but 220 worked a treat!  Brilliant, thank you 

[Crip]

U could use a smaller Font-type / size / like [ 0.9em; ]

[Chalky]

Thanks, good idea, I will try it and ask my co-admin how her eyesight is 

Have you managed to look at my news fader thing?  Are my IE visitors just going to have to live with it?

[Crip]

Have you checked it using IE?

[Chalky]

I have set up two news items for demo purposes.  Item number 1: "Test news item", item number 2: "Blah blah blah".  I now have four browsers installed on my computer so have tried it on all of them myself.  On Firefox, Chrome and Opera, the two news items fade and alternate as they should, but on IE9, they are both shown together statically, no fade, no movement.  If I revert to the default theme, then they do alternate and fade in IE also.  I attach a screenshot of the two news items in IE.

[Crip]

Okay,
I will get someone who uses IE & try to fix it.

[Chalky]

That worked like a dream!!!  Thanks Crip, brilliant 

And sorry to be a pain 

[Crip]

Glad it worked

[Chalky]

Please can I carry on being a pain for a bit longer?  Sorry 

The text to show unread posts since last visit etc. has the clickable links in a slightly grey colour compared with the non-clickable white text (screenshot attached).  I would like it all to be the same colour, white.  I have just been through the .css file with a fine tooth comb but can't identify where to modify this - please can you give me a clue?

Thank you

Sabrinova, do you use firefox? the web browser... if not, install it
Then, search for firebug extension... install it, restart firefox

Go to your website... hit key F12, firebug panel will open at bottom...
Hit the CSS tab... then hit the arrow at left... then move the cursor over that text... and click on it (that makes a selection on that "thing", keeping it selected... so you can move the cursor and properties at rigth are mantained)

So... look on the properties section, at right... there you can see all the interacting css values... search for your color, see the file, see the line...

In fact, you can change it "on the fly", try it... (changes are not made to that file, but you can test other colors & properties until making it for real)

Hope you undertand all that... it will give you the tools to change the world! (?)

[Chalky]

Yes I use Firefox and ooooh that sounds exciting!!    I'm off to look for Firebug, will report back.  Thank you 

[Chalky]

Ok, I managed up until I had to understand what it was showing me.  When I clicked on "Show unread posts since last visit", the little properties window gave me what's in the attached screenshot.

Index. css line 5 is

Code Select Expand

a:link, a:visited
and #800000 is red, not greyish.

Oh I just realised you can see what those each of those lines are.  I can't see anything there that corresponds to anything I can edit to change the colour I want to change....  What am I missing?

[luuuciano]

Can you share the link to it? to check there

btw, properties like this mean that another property have precedence over it, the "cascade style sheet" thing...

[Chalky]

Thank you   It's a closed forum for the moment, but you can log in with username temp.
