Canceling Accounts

ManOfBliss · December 05, 2012, 11:49:18 PM

Hello,

At the moment, if a user deactivates their account, I see there name under all their posts changes color, and stops acting as a hyperlink, where people can go to their profile to view their posts, etc.

How do I control whether people can deactivate their account or not?

And if a person does cancel their account, can they re-activate it later, like facebook, and still have all their data.

Thanks,
Timothy

Check or uncheck the box for: Delete their account

If they deactivate their account then they would have to create a new one in order to register again. However there is an option to associate posts with a user. After they register again this could be done. It's under the maintenance tab===>Forum maintenance in the admin panel then to members.

Thank you.

How do I change the color of their user name as it appears after they delete their account?

For example, the user "Max" who deleted his account. How would I make his user name have the same color as the others?

The only way I can think of might be through the .css file.

ManOfBliss · December 06, 2012, 12:22:07 AM

Yeah, I'm hoping you may have more insight into what the element is. Because as soon as they delete the account, their user name turns in <p> content, thus changing the css color would affect other content.

There is a way to do it but it is getting late here. If you have not figured it by tomorrow I will have a look for ya.

Maybe while I am gone someone else may jump in.

I will have to play a bit on my test site but ya this is doable for sure. I'll check it out later if this damn toothache goes away.

ManOfBliss · December 08, 2012, 08:38:07 AM

OK I look forward to your reply.

Bigguy · December 10, 2012, 09:23:09 PM

I have not forgotten about you. I think I already registered on your site. I think.

ManOfBliss · December 13, 2012, 05:21:20 PM

OK still awaiting. Thanks.

Bigguy · December 13, 2012, 05:41:41 PM

I'm checking things out now. It may take me a bit but I'll see what I can find.

Bigguy · December 13, 2012, 08:07:15 PM

In the index.css file find:

.poster h4

To that section add your color:

color: #c06002;

That may not be your right color but this should work. This may be your color:

#B42F39

Bigguy · December 14, 2012, 07:12:23 PM

Did this help at all.

ManOfBliss · December 17, 2012, 12:05:16 AM

That worked. Thank you my friend!

Bigguy · December 17, 2012, 06:13:42 AM

Your more than welcome.

I don't understand this. The only Members tab I see is the one up by the Admin tab, and it takes you right back out of Admin.
