It looks like it will be a little arduous and the forum would be down for a couple of hours while I tested next weekend (not this coming one, the one after that). So.. please vote on what you would like to have happen. If there's some other formatting change that you'd like to see, please mention and we'll discuss if it's possible/worthwhile/wanted/etc. #Post#: 2099-------------------------------------------------- Re: Changing the forum layout options By: CatDancing Date: August 17, 2021, 10:28 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=animaniactoo link=topic=73.msg2096#msg2096 date=1629256574] [size=10pt]I have dug around in the options and I believe that I can change these options with a custom theme for the forum.

I'd like a couple of other things, too, if they're possible. For one thing, I can't see any way to cancel a reply without getting out of the thread entirely and then going back in. There have been a couple of times when someone posted a reply to something that was better than what I was stumbling around with, and I wanted to cancel mine and didn't see how. Next, would it be possible for the response buttons [the smiley-faces and whatnot] to be hidden unless you're hovering over them? They do add a lot of visual clutter to the page, and Gracie isn't the only person who's feeling the strain. Also, being quite absent-minded, I would rather like it if, after I click on a response to someone, the buttons would disappear. I keep getting the testy message, "You've ALREADY RESPONDED to this comment, butthead!" Okay, well, maybe not in exactly those terms -- but close! #Post#: 2105-------------------------------------------------- Re: Changing the forum layout options By: animaniactoo Date: August 17, 2021, 10:36 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=CatDancing link=topic=73.msg2099#msg2099 date=1629257317] [quote author=animaniactoo link=topic=73.msg2096#msg2096 date=1629256574] [size=10pt]I have dug around in the options and I believe that I can change these options with a custom theme for the forum.

Otherwise, I'm cool with the formatting. #Post#: 2108-------------------------------------------------- Re: Changing the forum layout options By: HeddyL2627 Date: August 17, 2021, 10:43 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=animaniactoo link=topic=73.msg2105#msg2105 date=1629257764] Sorry.

[/quote] From what I read earlier - all text sizing and coloring for everything (although individually adjusted), all background colors. I did not dig much deeper than that, it didn't really look like there was much more. Mostly, I can edit what it LOOKS like in terms of text sizes and colors and background colors. Not how it functions or lays out significantly beyond that. There's a "style manager" with some preset themes. What I have the option to do is create a new theme. #Post#: 2118-------------------------------------------------- Re: Changing the forum layout options By: CatDancing Date: August 17, 2021, 11:06 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=animaniactoo link=topic=73.msg2096#msg2096 date=1629256574] [size=10pt]Sorry.

Can we remove that? Am I the only one it bothers? #Post#: 2220-------------------------------------------------- Re: Changing the forum layout options By: muskrat Date: August 18, 2021, 9:45 am --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=AbidingDudev4.1 link=topic=73.msg2203#msg2203 date=1629296515 Can we remove that? [/quote] I removed it in Layout options (I think): you can check a box to not be shown that annoying msg. It's easy to do, just cant remember the exact category under under the layout options ... #Post#: 2222-------------------------------------------------- Re: Changing the forum layout options By: animaniactoo Date: August 18, 2021, 9:57 am --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=AbidingDudev4.1 link=topic=73.msg2203#msg2203 date=1629296515] I don't know what the options are, but every time I reply in the thread of the day post it tells me other people have posted since I started typing and since we post like rabbits copulate all day it seems unnecessary to have to click twice to post.

I was really happy to find it cuz I just kept dismissing it over and over again too. Sometimes 2x in a row because as soon as I dismissed it and tried again, it would friggen prompt again for the new post that showed up in those 2 seconds! ***************************************************** (DIR) Next Page
