Well, just as a general comment, but you guys need to get some more chatter on this site.  The functionality is great (barring the javascript error that still appears), but there's no discussions going on.  How about posting game run-downs, or just more conversations.

I've posted a run down of my Hero game and it's gathered no responses or interest that I can see.  Are you guys interested in this kind of thing?

Or are you conducting your disucssions on the meetup site?

Actually, one comment.  The colour of hyperlinks inside bboard posts is really hard to pick out.  I bet noone noticed that "my Hero game" was a hyperlink.  Try making them bold, in a different colour and become underlined when you hover over them.  They're a little indistinct at the moment.

You could achieve this by amending the CSS files with the following rules:
.post a { font-weight: bold; }
.post a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }

Thanks for the tips, I have nver realy done any HTML/CSS/php/sql so this is all new stuff for me but I am learning. Found the relevant sections in the Style.css for the main theme and altered as suggested. Should now show links bold and undelined when hovered over.

I will be looking at starting work on the web front ends for here and the new Raiders of the Game Cupboard sites soon. I have a couple of "volunteers" to help with look & feel but I can certainly do with coding help for them. Let me know if you are interested I can always provide beer and food and some boardgaming after the hard work is done.

Cheers.

p.s The Javascript error is a known issue with this Theme, as far as I can find out it has no fix. But as it is a bolt on to the main board and the default theme works fine I'm sure there must be a way round it. But I fear I may have to dig through a lot of php to find out where it's creeping in. There are only a few java script files that form part of the forum and I have not managed to egt my head round them yet. I could always send you just those files to see if you think they are the cause?

I think the ".post a" entry must be being overriden somewhere else, because they're not showing as bold still.  With CSS there's an order to things beind done and how styles are applied.  I won't go into it, because.. well I can't be bothered atm.

The javascript error is still being caused by this bit of code.
      document.getElementById("quickmodSubmit").style.display = "none";

Can't promise any ability to volunteer, but I can chip in to answer questions if needed.

Links you have visited are a different colour and are not bolded try looking at a link you have not yet clicked on it will be bold.

Thanks nomad3k I have finally tracked down the php file creating the errant javascript and made the changes you suggested.

original code in default\display.template.php:

Code:

	if (empty($settings['use_tabs']))
		echo '
	<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
		document.getElementById("quickmodSubmit").style.display = "none";
	// ]]></script>';

	echo '
</form>';

Replace with this code:

Code:

	if (empty($settings['use_tabs']))
		echo '
	<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
    var scriptfix = document.getElementById("quickmodSubmit");
    if (scriptfix != null)
      scriptfix.style.display = "none";
	// ]]></script>';

	echo '
</form>';

I have posted these fixes to the SMF and theme authors sites, crediting you with the code fix and linking back to your profile here.

Hopefully all the pages should be error free now
