Moderated Posts Background Color
 

This little code will change the background color of your moderated threads/posts to make it easy to spot by you and your Mods.
It helps with busy forums.

I tested it on vB 4.2.0 but should work on older versions. I use postbit_legacy.

Install:

Step 1:

In postbit_legacy template look for:

Replace it with:

Step 2

Also, in additional.css, add this code


Change the background color to what you prefer

If you enjoy my mod, please consider marking it as "Installed". Any comments are welcome.

Great Idea. I'll give it a try.

Enjoy. Thank you... Please mark installed :)

The owner of a forum where I provide tech support wanted this. After installing it for her, I realized how handy it is. Now using it on 4 forums. :)

Glad you liked it... Enjoy :)

I've done exactly as instructed and nothing has happened, the unapproved post is still just white ??

very nice.................thanks

Is the coloring visible to all, or just mods and admins?

Just mods and admins. If a post is in moderation, no one else except mods and admins can even see the post.

[s]As I noted above, I'm now using this on four vBulletin 4.2.0 PL3 forums.

It's working perfectly on 3 of those. However, on the 4th it isn't working at all.

Using this code at the top of additional.css:

Any ideas as to why this would NOT work on that one forum? What are the likely conflicts that might prevent it from working?[/s]

Fixed: Never mind. I had forgotten to make the edit in the postbit template on the problematic forum. :o

Does something like this exist for the thread list as well?

Try this in additional.css

Anyway to use this in conjunction with this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=247094

So that the moderated posts have a different background color for mods and admins but look normal for the post author.

Exactly! I have both mods installed, but I want the background color to only change for Mods and Admins, but have the post look completely normal to the poster, even though nobody else can see the post.

I just tried this on my 4.2.2 forum and it didn't work. Did I do something wrong?

You must of I done it on my 4.2.2 site and it worked

This worked for me...did you grab the closing brace of the CSS selector (the code to add to "additional.css")?

Can do it for you if you want pm me

I thought I did but let me check again.
Nice of you to offer. If I can't get it going on another go-round I may hit you up. Thanks.

Ah, OK, I see where I screwed up. We use postbit, not postbitlegacy, and I didn't change that in the additional css code.

Works now, thanks!

Theres a mod for this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=315361

can somebody give an example of how to use this on the search results?

I added the if statement to the search_results_postbit, then tried the css with the original and also tried the css by changing .postbit to .searchbit. neither worked.

Do you still need help with this?

4.2.3 also uses postbit not postbitlegacy

A handy mod

yes
