the latest update has messed up the default text colour, for writing and posting.

Needs to be black when typing and white when posted, did this before but does not want to do it now, you have to select the colour you want to type but then you cant see it when typing?

disabling custom colour fixes this

steve1966 · #**433** 02-14-2010, 10:37 AM

yes the colour tab is not working correctly on my forum

wold3mort · #**434** 02-14-2010, 11:23 AM

with 3.0.1 the chat was working...then i've installed the same version but in italian and now it still say LOADING.... -.-
then i've loaded the 3.1.1 version but the problem persist...now...
WHAT CAN I DO TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM?????
Help me...... T.T

exyuteam · #**435** 02-14-2010, 12:15 PM

Thanks Valter for this update.... But, I still waiting for:
- Chatbox title
- Announcement in the chatbox

I think this is easy to add and useful options

Also,
- New thread and new post warning in the chatbox (in separate column OR inside other chats)
- Adding chatbox channels

would be also very useful options?

THANKS M8!!!

Sador · #**436** 02-14-2010, 12:18 PM

Hm.. for some reason with the new update, in the chat the date and time won't show up, instead it shows this:

New [d-m, H:i] Admin This is a message.

The [d-m, H:i] should be the timestamp, but instead it shows litterally that.

Any fixes?

You do not need to revert the templates if you haven't modified the templates. But you must learn about templates because you'll need to revert ALL of yours every time you do a vbulletin update. The manual is still useful: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/s...edit_templates

The smileys are the ones you have installed via AdminCP>Smilies. I'm not sure what the 'Random Smilies" option is, I guess it mixes your smileys up. Experiment and let us know.

Agree, /notice would be nice, as would the ability to change the name from Options rather than have to do it via phrases. But it's not hard to do and you really only need to do it once.

InsomniacP · #**439** 02-14-2010, 01:26 PM

I got a fatal error trying to install it? So sticking with the last version as I don't seem to be having any problems with it...

Awesome updates! Is anyone seeing the color drop down box being blank with a check mark? I have tested it on PC with IE8 and FF with no problems. On a Mac FF is fine but Safari does not display the color palette. If you click a blank area, the color will then appear as the default in the drop down.
