Ok edited

This was just a little something I did for one of my themes in May 2013, so figured I'd share it. It's actually a nice little mod to have.


This will place total PMs and total new PMs in your nav bar, to the far right. Like so:

YOUR NAME (signout) - Inbox: 6 | New: 2

For guests, it will display like so:

Welcome Guest to YOUR FORUM NAME. Login or Register.

If you use this, I recommend disabling your "messages" button from your theme, however it's only optional.
Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper
On the default ProBoards theme, replace lines 39 to 45 (which is this):

<p id="welcome">
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
Welcome Guest.  Please $[login_link] or $[register_link].
{else}
<span>Welcome $[current_user.name].</span>  $[logout_link]
{/if}
</p>

With the below:



The only things you need to edit, are the parts I have put in green. These are hex codes you need to replace with ones to match your forum theme.


(NOTE: because this was originally posted in May 2013, the lines that i direct you to MAY be incorrect, but I have shown you exactly what you need to find and replace etc. Any problems though, don't hesitate to ask.)

The search PB have offered/included is some times good, but some times it doesn't find stuff if you just search for individual words etc. You some times, unfortunately, need to search for full lines, or at least multiple words in order for it to find it. However, with that said, luckily all (?) browsers have built in search, so where ever you are and use CTRL+F, it should be able to find stuff fine.


And ah ok, I set it to width: auto and yeah, ok haha it worked. So that is better than removing it, definitely
I've edited the post to say this. Also, as for the CSS not being on the same lines.. not sure what else I could say or suggest for it, since it's always changing. It's not TOO far out. I did this Info Center quite a long time ago, and on a new theme (one made Jan 9th) of PB's, the differences are:


In my post above, line 1271 is now 1284, and line 1279 is now 1292.
The only other thing I personally can think to do, is not find those lines, but instead add them both again at the bottom of the CSS, and let it override the previous ones.


What would you suggest? One of those, or something else?

I wouldn't personally be adding parts for the CSS Editor bit. To be honest, I haven't really played with it much, except for little bits that I have been told to add in for some stuff to help fix stuff.

But either way, I have edited the above post

I agree, obviously, and understand the first part of what you're saying, however, I'm honestly not too sure what you mean by that last sentence.

I have mentioned to use CTRL+F to search for specific things, if that helps though?

Is there any particular reason why? Does it load faster or anything? Or would moving it not really make a difference?

Cold here for us, is I guess, anything below 0 (Celsius).
But I've seen on the news lately, that there's a lot of snow and it looks freezing (literally) in areas. Here, in the majority of the UK, it's just a little cold, with a cold wind. Nothing like what you guys are experiencing.

I don't blame him. It's cold here and we're not having the weather half as bad as some of you Americans are. I'd do the same thing

Ahhh right ok, and good
Is there any way you can make a slight change to either the Preview or BBCode mode? Just to make them more obvious as to which one you're currently typing in? 

If it's a thread you've read before, or you just need to go back to a specific post, but yeah it is rare

Haha yeah you was, now re-reading it. I had only just woke up, my apologies

Maybe this is already possible to see, but I can't find it if so.
I have a poor memory, so, is there any way to view the latest 3 - 5 achievements you have unlocked ?
Perhaps a little popup, so when you click it, it shows the ones you last unlocked ? Or however you'd prefer to do it. I came on and saw I had 2, and have already forgotten one (both the number/series + icon lol).

The only way currently, is to hover over them all and view the date, but to do that to them all is a pain. I know it's not as much of a pain for someone like myself, with only having a few unlocked.

Maybe some way of ordering them by date (so not just the last 3 4 or 5, but all) other than just how they are now?

Yeah the action bar is the bit with the page numbers, action drop down, search.
It actually was very handy to have. It's no biggy. It's only really an issue if you need to select a different page often or what have you.
