Forum Display Enhancements - Threadbit Coloring Based on Thread Status

Threadbit Coloring
thread color threadbit background coloring

What does it do?
This modification will color the threadbit of your threads relative to their status, ie: closed, popular, read, unread. It's my version of the system currently in place here on vBulletin.org.

Installation
1. Upload the attached Product XML file.
2. Follow the instructions in the readme file.
3. Look at the post just below this one for information on customizing the modification.

Screenshots
As I said, this is my take on vB.org's System - so they're fairly similar, but I've attached screenshots because I know people are going to want them anyway.

Donations
As always, this modification is released to you, the community, to do with as you please at no charge - should you, however, feel compelled to donate funds to me - you may click the "Support Author" button on the panel to the right to do so; it's much appreciated.

Glad it helped - thanks for the nomination, by the way.

I'm not entirely sure how to set it to On by default -- I'll look into it though.

i would suggest a change in your css:

color: inherit;

so your css continue to be compliant, but mainly, it will fit all the styles... because if you set a #000 color and the client css is different, you break its color...

did you update ?
i didn't get the email notification and when i download the file, it still shows 1.01

[Kirk Y]

Yeah, details are in first post -- as it was such a minor change, I didn't bother to change the version number or send out an update.

[tecdady]

how would i modify this so that posts by a certain usergroup are highlighted, not by thread status. aka, if i have a supporting member group, i want their posts to have the highlight. this is a very useful hack to ad value to my supporting member group in the classifieds. also, is it possible with this mod to only have it used on certain forums. aka, only in my classifieds, not on my entire board.

[Kirk Y]

Explain a little better what you want in regard to the Usergroup Highlighting, I don't follow what you're saying.

[tecdady]

i would like posts by my subscribing members in my classifeds boards to be highlighted
thats about the best as i can describe it.

highleted posts by usergroups, in specified forums. not by thread type (open, sticky, etc).

situation is, i have paid subscribers. i want their posts to be highlighted in all my classifieds forums.

[Kirk Y]

Okay, so you want the thread's with posts made by your Paid Usergroup to be highlighted? Should they only be highlighted if the thread was started by someone in this Usergroup -- or if any post in the thread was made by someone in the Usergroup?

[tecdady]

exactly! just the threads started by a supporting member. not threads that have a supporting member reply. you da man.
