Good stuff Tony.
Have you seen the stuff done with Styish and Sharrow's GreaseMonkey scripts? See the link in my sig. -
Quote:Good, glad to have your help. Although Sharrow hacked a solution to the move-the-sig-to-the-bottom problem with a GreaseMonkey script in this thread.Originally Posted by Diellan_
It might be possible to align the sigs where we want with some creative css. For example, I can make it so that sigs appear at the bottom of the post space just by putting the following line:
#posts .alt1 > div[id] { min-height: 103px; }
The only problem is that the "editted on" line and the Quote buttons and what not take up valuable real estate below and add a lot of extra padding. I could come up with some kind of solution if I could just figure out what we'd like to do with it.
Anyways, this is awesome, and I'd love to help out with this. This is what I do for a living and have done for the last, oh, eight years, after all (well, among other web development stuff).
Side note: The HTML for the skin of this forum is horrible. Mixing divs and tables? In-line styles all over? Ew. -

Unfortunately, all the old links are broken since the URLs reference the thread number, which are now different on the new boards.
Your best bet is asking around in the Defender forum or doing an Advanced Search, Chose Defender Forum, keyword Dark, in thread titles. -

Ideally, you'd be able to fix the signature to the bottom of the table cell, but the signature is a direct descendant of a TD and AFAIK Firefox doesn't allow positioning to be set on table elements.
I've added a (slightly messy) function to push the signature down into the empty space alongside the Quote/Reply buttons. Comments on aesthetics welcome.
Also, it should work in Safari (tested) and Opera (untested) again.
It works beautifully. And even for longer posts, it creates a little gap between the body and sig which is much easier on the eyes. Only those with really long sigs <coughfleetingwhispercough> have their sig mushed against the body.
Excellent work and thanks! -

You misunderstand me. That is how Firefox displays a broken image. Try highlighting the "View Post" text - note that you can only either highlight the whole link, or none of it. That's because it's actually an image.
Just because Firefox doesn't show a border around the broken image and a red box in the corner, doesn't mean it's not displaying a broken image.
FF is smart. -
While the log chat function only starts to record chat from the time you issued the command, the /copychat function copies everything that's in the buffer for that channel, which includes a bit of history.

These temp powers are worth using for squishier type toons at high levels if you have enough global Accuracy or ToHitBuff -- either powers like Tactics or IO Set Bonuses of global ACC.

<Shrug> FF doesn't show an image, broken or otherwise, with or without Stylish for me. And this is with a previous version of FF and the newest one.
So, AFAIK, for FF users, it's a non-issue.
Edit: the pic that's supposed to be there (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/style...s/viewpost.png) is a 404. -
Does anyone have a screenshot of one of the PvForum games where the first letter of each thread spelled out something?
I need a screenshot of a thread-list page from the old forums to help with my Hero Skin project so as to replicate the old look as much as possible for those who want the classic look.
Thanks! -
Do you have to tell Jay how hot he looks to get him to create that for you in-game?

Quote:Hmmm... This works...Originally Posted by Fleeting_Whisper
That's not entirely true. The thread title, message, and sig are all in the same table cell, yes. But they are not one block of text.
The thread title is in a DIV.
The the thread title is followed by a HR
The HR is followed by the message, in a DIV
The message is followed by the signature, in a DIV
The signature contains a row of underscores (_) followed by the actual signature, a DIV
So, what you need to do is stretch the height of the DIV enclosing the signature, and then align the signature div (and optionally the "__________________" textNode) to the bottom of that. I don't have the motivation to fiddle around with the vertical align stuff, but you can even reach those two DIVs with CSS, so you may not even need to use a Greasemonkey script to do it.div#posts > div > table.tborder td.alt1 > div + div
Removing or replacing the __________________ would require Greasemonkey, though.
div#posts > div > table.tborder td.alt1 > div + div > div
In that it drops the thread title, message body, and sig to the bottom of its box.Quote:td.alt1 {vertical-align: bottom !important;}
However, these don't do anything together or separately...
Even though something like this...Quote:#posts > div > table.tborder td.alt1 > div + div {vertical-align: bottom !important;}
#posts > div > table.tborder td.alt1 > div + div > div {vertical-align: bottom !important;}
Does work perfectly.Quote:#posts > div > table.tborder tr:first-child + tr + tr > td.alt1 {background: #693430 !important;}
So... any clues?
(Actually, this isn't something I'm very concerned about. It's just a slight unsightliness of very short posts that's easily ignored.) -

Well, the Zombie Villain Skin is updated. It's looking much sharper. Thanks to Fleeting Whisper and Devian for tracking down the magical sigils that represent various parts of the forum bits and pieces.
I'm still working on it. I'm just about done deconstructing the post page and will get to the Thread page and then make those same changes to the Hero Skin.
I'm heavily annotating it so that you all can tweak it as you wish. The annotations are starting to become a mini-guide in and of themselves. -
Quote:Highly unlikely.Originally Posted by LostNinja
Oh and any chance of adding the bottom align that BAB mentioned in the Alien Skin thread?
The thread title, message, and sig are all appended to each other to make one block of text.
You can move that text vertically to the bottom, but then you'll have unsightly blank space on top. There's no way to stretch a post to use up the entire height of the Avatar and miscellaneous stuff in the left bar without some coding wizardry.
Now, if we could move the thread title into the top bar and the sig into the bottom bar, then we could vertically center the message for something pleasing to the eye. But, that's a lot of coding for little gain. -

Quote:Well, up until a few days ago, I didn't know anything about CSS. My html knowledge is the equivalent of being able to do Hello World in BASIC. So, it's likely I'm missing something.Originally Posted by Fleeting_Whisper
Really? I haven't looked into the page's stylesheet as much as you have, but it looks like all it would need is to modify the margin-top or margin-bottom of the tables...
OTOH, from what I'm able to figure out, there's just a lot of html coding that is not set up to be affected by CSS, for example, the two main panels of each post is given an class designation making it easy to change the definition of the class with CSS coding. However, the little panel under the avatar with the notify moderator button doesn't have a class defined, so, no CSS changes there. -
Quote:Since everyone needs that fix, I updated all the skins under my control to include that control. So, you can do a complete re-cut-and-paste.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
Awesome, thank you--the avatars still didn't disappear, they just wrapped the post text around them. So...do I cut and paste your updated style code, or insert this into my existing style code? And if the second, where?
If you ever do want to add or subtract a script element, just be careful of the open and close curly brackets. There's an open one at the beginning and a close one at the end of the page. Then, each element has its own open and close. The safest thing to do is to add a few carriage returns before the final close curly bracket and drop a new element right before it. -

And trust me, besides Castle and BAB, you really don't want to waste your time searching for posts from the other devs... they just post that infrequently. -
Quote:For a no-gradient skin and a completely black background, install Devian's skin concurrent with mine. And if you really want completely black background, go into Devian's skin (Heroes Forum Lite Version) and change this...Originally Posted by Kyasubaru
Awesome, I've been using the skin you posted in the feedback thread, but this is even better.
Have a couple of questions/requests:
There's a gradient image behind post boxes in the background(goes from red to black on the villain skin). Is there a way to get rid of that so the background is just one solid color?
And is there a way to get rid of the empty space between posts, and/or make the empty margins on the sides of the posts smaller/nonexistant?
/* Get rid of the horizontal gradients behind the main table, replace with a flat color and thin border */
.page_bgl { border: 1px solid #45494D; background: #191919 !important; }
.page_bgr { background: none !important; padding-top: 15px }
To this...
/* Get rid of the horizontal gradients behind the main table, replace with a flat color and thin border */
.page_bgl { border: 1px solid #000000; background: #000000 !important; }
.page_bgr { background: none !important; padding-top: 15px }
There is no way to get rid of the gap between posts with a style sheet. It would take a GreaseMonkey programming script to do so, and that's beyond my abilities. -
