allow Moderators to stamp threads :

Just tried stamps.zip and its still disabled by default on all staff....

Also when a stamp is added to a thread, it is underneath the text (see image)
Can you please sort it so the text is aligned to the image like this please

this is the text that i am showing you ===
as you can see its not going over the ===
the image _______________________======
.
Also, if theres only a few lines of text it will show like the other image

Hey guys I am using IE7 and the latest VB and it's working perfectly. r7al check ur PM mate.

By the way. It wasn't working due to technical reasons on my part. Some wise *** suggested I CHMOD the directories on my site in a certain way for protection and it messed everything up.

[bashy]

I have tested with both IE7 and FF2.0.03 and both give this issue/error, the text goes over the image.....Please see added image




If there are only 1 or 2 lines of text the image gets cut off, please see image below

to disallow this soo you should
get a small pic and replace it with this

Nice stuff but I have some questions plz:

1. Where can I change "Best Threads" into "Important Threads"?
2. Is it possible to keep the default thread status icons such as "New posts", "Hot thread with new posts" etc. instead of the thread status icons you did for the stamps?
3. It it possible to get rid of the "Stamp Name" shown in the Threadlist? Or in other words, is it possible to get rid of the ":" beeing left when I leave the "Stamp Name" field in the Stamp manager open?

Thx in advance!

Just a suggestion. I resolved this issue by editing the posts and begining the post a little bit down like see where the stamp shows up and begin editing to make the post come under it.

i found this to be very useful... i am going to make this a major feature on my site.. when i make some icons....

concerning RICKO's query.., i was trying to give myself permission and when i tried to apply it, it went back to no.., so i installed the FIXED Stamps... directory.. overwriting the regular one.. and the permissions worked fine...

the other thing i had to figure out.... is when you make your icons...., you have to name them .... thread_name_your_icon_.gif but when you enter the path... you only have to put..... name_your_icon (not the gif)... ie.. thread_news.gif = _news

(just in case someone was trying to figure that out...
