Please click the install button if you use this

Lol, no problem:):D

screenshot.. cause im lazy and i don wanna install it but i want make sure it is what i think it is

Yes I want to see a screenshot of this too. Should be one for every mod.

screenshot plz! :D

Ok, sorry:( I thought it was pretty self explanatory:rolleyes:

Anyway, here is the option in the user CP

Screen shot 2:

2 example of posts

Alot I think are self explanatory but people want them to re-assure what they think. Just respect that instead of trying to show how dumb people are.

Read the template release rules, it specifically says to put in a screenshot. So respect what the admin wants to get the most out of every modification.

Thank you.

Oh really nice !
Good work ffdcsite ! :D

(My theory- Tony=Git:))

Anyway, yeah, I know I shoulda:p

Thanks Dave:)

heh its sweet but u really need to find how to make default white, my postbit is like black and dark grey (VERY dark) :(

Yeah >.< Mine is Black as well. Im sure ill find away around it:)

I say it how it is. If you have any disgareement go re-write the submission rules. Not my problem.

Sorry about that, I was kiddin. You were right, and then again, im the git:)

Anyway, enough spam. I still cant get the default to be black, Although I havent tried this on my board yet(will do now) You could put;
right before
EDIT: I have tried this and it has failed.:( I didnt think it wold work in the first place
I suppose that could over write the profile field until a user changes the colour.

Just a though, Ill go try it out:)

Anyone else have any idea's

If you think thats spam, you've seen worse.

It doesn't work because it needs to be inside the font tag of those codes. Otherwise it won't overwrite the other font tags.

I know. Ill try what you said now.

How do I allow only certain groups to change their color?

Or if I can not do that how do I make my Mods and Admins Name a different color?

Don't think thats possible via a Template modification.

Best I can think of is editing thier name manuelly, which I dont think works. Methinks Tony is right, try vB.org

Then you would have to remove it from the UserCP so they couldn't change it.

]to show white color default run this query

UPDATE userfield SET field5='FFFFFF' WHERE field5=''


if field 5 is your color usernames field :p
sorry for my english...

Nice going [Dx] I add this to the instructions

Basically you copied my install file and called it yours: http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mo...s=&threadid=24

At least give credit next time would you.

ANyone Know how to make the Usernames BOLD?

Yes, add <b> </b> around the places that use them. heh
There may be a different way, but that is how I would do it.

@Dx,

I tryed your fix
UPDATE userfield SET field5='FFFFFF' WHERE field5=''
But that just rolls up a sql error fella:(:(

Thanx will kep looking

Well I didnt copy your install file. However these 2 mods are very alike. I have never seen that one before. Sorry:(

Edit: Lost;
Have you changed the field number to the field number at your forums? (I.E, if the number is 6(sixth user profile field, run this query:

UPDATE userfield SET field6='FFFFFF' WHERE field6=''

Simple:)

Yup got it:)
Thanx fella
Works a treat,nice work

Pardon me, but what is "running a query"? Because my usernames are black now too, and I would really love to fix this asap. *gets tons of PMs*

You can run queries from phpmyadmin.
There is a tutorial of it somewhere. Let me find it for you.

didn't work for me. Maybe your description isnt specific enough.

What didnt work?:) Running the query or installing this mod?

well I did all the text in the postbit, and it doesnt work. It shows up, but when I try to make a color, the color never shows up on the username.

Hmm, show me your code.

...for me is not very easy to install....i'm new with vBB

THANK YOU
