This is not a half-assed hack. You should be lucky you get any support at all from me. Most hack authors provide little to no support whatsoever.

With an attitude like yours, it's no wonder most authors don't provide help.

Forgive me for having a life dt~ and not having the spare time needed to customize this hack to specifically suit your needs.

Thats the problem tho.

I want my closed/stuck threads to be the closed colour
You want your closed/stuck threads to be the stuck colour

So in my respect the hack is working fine and is complete and not "half assed"

edit: beat me too it acid

Umm...just because it's not serving YOUR purpose 100% doesn't mean the hack is "half assed". Every piece of software can be improved upon and if the author feels the feature you request is something that can/should be provided, then they will make the effort to have it so.

This hack does not suit my needs.

Then dont install it and dont knock it...keep your trap shut and create your own hack....if you can that is.

@acidburn0520

Thanks for the hard work

[Kirk Y]

Thank you. As I said earlier, I will be implementing a feature to fix the Stickied Closed etc. threads. Just be patient.

Then quit whining about it, and create one that does suit your needs.

This is an excellent mod Acid....one might even say it's whole-assed.

Can you make it so we can color any thread any color? My friend made a custom hack on our board for 3.0.8 and it worked great, this was like 2 yrs ago and he doesn't have the time anymore.

All I had to do was click a little color palet icon next to the thread title and it opened a popup box where you could select which color you wanted your thread to be, and it was accessible to admins & smods only. Is there any way you could create something like this?

I wish I had that kind of coding skill -- no, I'm in no way related to him.

Sure, I'll look into it for the next release.

Just a general update for anyone that's concerned. I'm still racking my brain over figuring a way to satisfy everyone's needs for the Sticky Thread Combo. situation. The simplest way would be to just color it Sticky regardless - but I've seen a few people that would like their Stickied Polls to show up as Polls and others with different combinations; perhaps I could give everyone instructions to custom tailor the hack to suit their needs -- I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them.
