Problems and Fizes
« on: January 10, 2013, 10:25:42 AM »
Figured it would be best to start a separate topic for these...

When wanting to send a PM and type in the "To:" box, the drop down is colored in such a way you cannot see the list.  Need a new color schema for that.  Was trying to send a PM but forgot full board handle name and could not see it in the drop down.

Thanks for the wonderful new look.

It does show as you drag your mouse over the names....
OK, I know, lame response.
I'll see if I can figure out where that code is and give you a nice easy to read dark blue with the white background.

Also love the new look.

Has anyone noticed the mistake with how idea points are displayed (as a minus number). What's that all about?

Thanks for the feedback.

Laugh/Idea Points came from a modified use of the built-in Karma system (standard part of SMF Forums).   The Karma can either be displayed as 2 individual pieces, or awarded as positive/negative with the net total on display. For the Laugh/Idea version both segments are shown and treated as positives... (but the system still thinks the second one is negative and displays it as such).  The fix is to go into the actual code and remove the display of the positive/negative symbols... the problem - I don't want to risk just trying things to make it go away.  I've asked an expert to handle it when he has time.

But beyond that... we're looking into some new ways of using the Karma system that may end up replacing the Laugh/Idea points.

Did not yet want to create a new topic.

The word "Rolemaster" is not in the spell checker.  I get the red wiggly underneath.

Isn't that stored in your own computer...? (I thought it was, but might be wrong).

No, you are correct, I got it fixed in my own comps.

And how do I fix the spelling warning for "Rolemaster" here.

It NEVER gets flagged anywhere but here when I am Posting.

When the red wiggly line appears, right click on the word. A drop down window will appear with a bunch of options, some of them spelling and alternate words, but one of them "add word" or something like that. Choose that. You should be OK from then on out. Of course, this is for Microsoft not Apple computers.
