Installed the product.

Doesn't work.

Sorry.

Well, Im afraid it does, so I can only guess you have either made a mistake, or you are not using the standard style.

I'm using the standard style with some color and text size changes.

I presume most people make at least some changes to a style, even if they're slight.

Most other mods seem to function.

Peace,
Gene

Yes, of course people make changes, thats not what i said. I mean are you using a completely custom style.

The fact remains that if you edit the header template, as instructed, and install the product, it works, as demonstrated by the fact that hundreds of forums are using it. You appear to be the only one having an issue, which rather points to something on your set-up. Sorry, but I cannot remotely guess why as i have nothing to go on.

Well, I will try it again and see, OK?

Well, I installed it correctly and made sure it was enabled. The template mod was done, but nothing in the source indicated it was doing anything. As I said, most of my changes consist of the following:

1. Font sizes.

2. Background color.

3. Width and depth of textareas, and space ahead of text blocks, such as post replies.

I welcome any insights.

Peace,
Gene

I cannot see how any of those things would have any effect. There is little I can tell you or look at without admin access to your forum.

If you wish to rummage around, I'll set you up on one of the forums. Send me a private message. At worst, you'll solve nothing, and at best you'll find an answer that'll help me and others if you're game.

Peace,
Gene

I have installed it on the forum you gave me details for, and its working fine. :)

The only thing i can think of is that when installed, the unread posts part defaulted to off, so you would need to enable it in the options (not the best choice, so I have altered that in the install file). Even so, the last visit date should have displayed (and the new reputation comments if you had any).

Gene Steinberg 01-15-2010 10:06 PM

Color me confused.

Would you now try these two with the same credentials:

www.technightowl.com/forum

www.theparacast.com/forum

The latter is where I had the issue.

Peace,
Gene

Gene Steinberg 01-15-2010 10:17 PM

And thank you for the effort. Hopefully you'll find a reason why the last forum, which ought to have pretty much the same header code as the others except for logo links and such, isn't working with your product.

Peace,
Gene
