Ok..I installed the hack and it shows - Style: ()

thanks but:

why does it show "Default Style" for some members and for others just the name of the default style??

Can this be changed?

And for some it shows no style at all?

ps: another prob: when I choose a style wich is not default I see "(not specified)" in users postbit who have choosen the default style.

So still some work to do with the default style for this hack I think.

If you get sytle: not specifed or something like go, go to your user cp, under options (I think) scroll all the way to the bottom, it should say "Forum Skin". Choose one of the skins, and save it.

Reason I believe it says Style not specified is because the database couldn't recognize it yet or something. So I believe you have to tell the database what style you're using.

You are right all problems I said are solved if all users choose anything accept "default"

But isn't there a better way to solve this?

It is the default that is causing the problem. All other members who chose different skins are showing up but those with the default are just showing ().

EDIT- Well, I'm a knoob :) I saw Gary's post #33 which explains what to do. I made the change and it shows up correctly.

The way to fix this is to make it so when a user selects a style in the quick dropdown menu on all pages, their selection would be saved in their user info. Otherwise it is just stored with a cookie. Regardless of whether or not someone has say "Default" or "Style A" selected in their UserCP, the hack will not show anything that they select in the dropdown menu. I think making the dropdown menu change the users style the same way it does in the UserCP is the next step for this hack, as that seems to be the problem.

Please fix. :)

Wow - I was about to mention this also. I thought it was an issue only that I noticed. Great hack Gary! If 006's suggestions are implemented, this will be one of the best hacks I have installed! :)

have been this hack tested on a vb 3.0.1?

I followed all the steps and it didnt show anything, not even the word "Style:"

is there a way to make this work in member.php? or do i need to take this to the modification/hack request forum?

edit:

i would like to display this info on the page where one goes to view a members profile...right underneath where the referrals are displayed...

Clicks install..thanks!
