I spotted that <br> and <p> html codes issue ealy on in my testing with VB4 (during beta stages maybe)?, and I couldn;t figure it out, then one of the subsequent releases made it go away so I put it down to a VB issue. It's not happening for me under 4.1.0 and hasn't since 4.0.5

BTW - almost got this ready for a 3.8 beta release

Hi Dartho .. :)

Well, I finally took the holiday time to get around to installing both this lightweight style and also the newer lightweight style options version here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249339

I already had the older lightweight style options 1.04 installed, which was this one ...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229044

I'm not sure if I should uninstall the latter? :confused:

Anyway, my real problem is the display of "sticky threads" (see pic). Any idea why some of them have their titles with the "struck out line" through them?

Thanks for your great work ... :up:

Doug

closed threads etc are reprasented with a strike through - you can edit the CSS file to changet his behaviour. Search for "text-decoration: line-through;" and either delete it, or modify to suit your needs, maybe text-decoration: italic;?

Thank you Sir.. :)

I found this reference "text-decoration: line-through;" in vbulletin.css for all styles including your lightweight one ...

Is that the one you're referring to?

Also, do I use the "Support Developer" button here to send you a PayPal payment? I think I sent you something for the previous version, but I'd like to do so with this version as well.

Regards,
Doug

Edit: Ok, I remarked out the phrase in the vbulletin.css for the lightweight style only as follows:

Quote:

.restore del { /* Striking deleted phrases. */ /* text-decoration: line-through; */ }

However, the stickied threads shown in the pic still appear strick through?

You need to edit the file lightweight.css.php which was uploaded to your forum root

Doh .. :D

Give me a coffee break and you have to re-train me .. ;)

Thanks .. :)

Tested using text-decoration: italic; but threads come out looking like regular textl, however, the good news is the strike-through text is gone now which is fine for us.

Sent you a donation through PayPal for your excellent work ... :up:

Still seem to have an oddity with sticky threads not showing with word "Sticky" like they do in your demo site. (see pic). I'm not sure what the two phrases titled "Normal Threads" and "Sticky Threads" are doing isolated on their own at the top and they don't seem to be clickable as collapsible boxes etc?

ps: I asked this under your PDA detaction thread, but I thought I'd post here as welll. I have a 56kb dial-up users who complain the site is slow for them using a regular PC and browser, so I was wondering if this mod could be adapted to recognize a 56kb dial-up user and automatically present this excellent "Lightweight Style"?

I know our Google Analytics code reads data from someplace and shows me analysis of type of connect speeds used when accessing our site, so I think it's possible?

G'day Doug,
My bad - italic will not work, as it is not a possible value or text-decoration. If italic is the way you want to go, try making it font-style:italic;

Looks like you have a seperate normal and sticky threads hack installed which would explain that issue - point me to the add-on and I'll have a quick look when I get a chance.

A quick check of your site shows detection is working OK (for my device at least)

As for detecting dialup visitors - that's probably a little further outside my abilities than all this other stuff I hack my way through - not sure how one would go about such things - a timer perhaps to see how fast a random image loads and take a best guess?

Tried that and they still appear as regular text subject lines. Don't worry about it as the "strike through" was what I was trying to fix and it's fine now. ;)

Thanks.. would be great if it worked with his, or somehow remove his mod JUST from your style.

That's great .. thank you for checking .. :up:

I'm not sure either, but I wonder if there's connection data that's available someplace and it's accessible, which would explain how Google is able to break out connections by speed including dial-up. :confused:

I know there are add-ons that figure out what kind of browser (ie: IE6, Firefox etc) that users are employing, so I bet it's part of that data set. No problem though. I'll perhaps post a general question in the discussion area when I get more time.

Thanks for you help ... :)

Doug
