Well, if that didn't get your attention, what will? Wink

I really like the changes. They were very much needed and look really good, except for a few things.

Chad and Justin, please consider these things:

  • I really think we should go back and add a seperate column for moderators on the forums listing page. It looks much better, it's what I'm used to - also, this is the case on each forum page for the thread starters.
  • The template when you search using the "view new posts" and "get daily" is slighly messed up. The old icons are still there when they shouldn't be, for one.
  • The edit post template is *VERY* messed up - it has the old, old design, but all of the images are broken.
  • We're still missing the "View first unread post" link on all of the thread pages.

I'll post more things as they come to mind. Thanks!

Also noticed that the "Members" link is missing from the top. memberlist.php

BTW

The logo if you look at it quickly looks like the WuTang sign in the background.

I have made the decision to leave this as-is because I think it looks better and works better the way it is now. And seeing the moderator isn't a huge deal. Plus, adding another column makes it look really cluttered on smaller screens.

Fixed a couple days ago.

Fixed tonight.

What about the Members link at the top? memberlist.php I think it is.

I don't think the member link needs to be there. It's a usless feature in my opinion. If you want to find a member, you can search with the regular search feature.

Well then could you put the currently logged on users back into the templates. Like at the bottom of the main page. I like to see if anyone is browsing the forum when I do. Think you have to add this to the template "loggedinusers" template.

<TR bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" id=cat><TD colspan=6>
<normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><B>Currently Active Users:</B></normalfont><br><smallfont color=#ffffff>There are currently $totalonline people in the Community including $numberregistered  members ($numberinvisible invisible) and $numberguest guests.</smallfont><br>
<smallfont color=#ffffff><b>$activeusers</b></font></smallfont></td>
</tr>
'

That will show how many people are on, both guests and members, show how many guests, and show the members both invisible and visible. You can take out what you want.

no offense Parker, but I think Chad knows how to do it Smiling.
but then again...maybe not?

anyway guys, like Chad said give him a break. He said he will start improving things around TWF, it doesn't happen instantaneous, so take a chill pill and enjoy the changes that have been made so far.

I'm not saying I want it done immediatly. I'm just mentioning things that can be done eventually. I also posted how to do it just in case he didn't know how. Sorry if I offended you Chad. Laughing out loud

No problem Ravi or Parker. I have added the active users thingy at the bottom of the main page, as well as the login/logout code.

BTW,

The main reason I liked the memberlist was so I could see the top posters. If there is any way you can make it so we can see the top posters can you please do that for me? Smiling

Top 10 posters has been added in the user info section of the main page (at the bottom).

Changes look good. I especially like the addition of the "active users thingy," since that's one of my favorite features of vBulletin.

By the way everyone, I'm no longer associated with TWF as Team Leader or as a Moderator, so please don't think of me that way anymore. If you want to know why inquire to Chad.

*EDIT* Well, I guess I am a Moderator. Of what I don't know Smiling *EDIT*

Just wondering, Justin, why?

Justin is it possible that when Chad was altering the things he made a change or vBulletin did for him? I know it has happened to me with the mod thing, stupid vBulletin. I was an admin but then I realised that I couldn't make myself a "moderator" without taking away my admin status so I had edit the forums to be managed by the admins. I hope I did it right. (Talking about my forums BTW) Smiling.

Justin's status was temporarily removed and has been given back for the time. It was removed for reasons that will remain between Justin and I.

testing

I have enabled the [ i ] [ /i ] (without spaces) tags for now... let me know if it causes problems... JP disabled them previously apparently because they were causing problems in some forums.
