Changing view of new post

[Shawnh159]

Is there any way to make a new post head line bold and where it say new in the orange box, can that get bigger?  See attached please

[Biology Forums]

Open MessageIndex.template.php

Inside, find:

Code Select Expand

', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<strong>'

Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

', $topic['is_sticky'] || ($topic['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged']) ? '<strong>'

That'll ensure it is bold whenever it is new. More coding changes are needed for making the text bigger.

Alternatively, find:

Code Select Expand

<div ', (!empty($topic['quick_mod']['modify']) ? 'id="topic_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '" onmouseout="mouse_on_div = 0;" onmouseover="mouse_on_div = 1;" ondblclick="modify_topic(\'' . $topic['id'] . '\', \'' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '\');"' : ''), '>

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

<div',$topic['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged']?' style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 130%;"':'',' ', (!empty($topic['quick_mod']['modify']) ? 'id="topic_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '" onmouseout="mouse_on_div = 0;" onmouseover="mouse_on_div = 1;" ondblclick="modify_topic(\'' . $topic['id'] . '\', \'' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '\');"' : ''), '>

That'll ensure both criteria.

i dont like playing with code, is there a mod for this?

No

The mod will likely make the same edits. If you want, you could add a class in the style sheet, but still would require a template edit.
