Should be good
Is there a way to see who's viewing a current thread? I miss that bar at the bottom.
If it were anyone else...Quote:

Yeah, I'm not sure what causes that. If you hold down the Shift button and hit refresh, it should change back.Quote:

Is it not to do with people having that theme set as their profile theme by default? You can change it to whatever you want, so presumably that overrides the viewer's preference?
I'm using the dark theme (KB's Desire to be exact), and I noticed when quoting someone that in the preview the quote was illegible, as it was a white text in a white box. I needed to highlight the text in order to read it.
Even when reading quotes in threads light grey text in a white box is difficult (not impossible) to read.
This is very minor but when you click your profile there's a section for who has viewed your profile. Right now it's white text on a white background with the default skin.
I've mentioned that to Sly (tech guy). It's been a problem in a variety of areas but it seems to be easily fixable as he's changed several of them already.Quote:

The Youtube tags I think are redundant now. The video tags work perfectly for linking videos; in fact, the Youtube ones don't work at all.
That's weird because when we first installed the BBCode for Youtube, it worked just fine. I even had a test post in the Admin forum which worked at the time. No idea why they stopped working.Quote:

I can't see who gave me rep. Like, I see my rep list, with comment and which post it was for. But no username it was from.
But on my Rep I've given, I can see who I gave it to under the date.
Acknowledging your post, but I'm actually testing a better system to replace rep. Not sure if it will work though.Quote:

I think the quote one will be ready soon, perhaps tomorrow (I need to do backups before I install the plugin, just in case and it's too late tonight). Not sure about the other.
Cool cool. Still mad you didn't give me my black Santa emoji.
Haha, I just didn't see it being used much. But, I think both plugins should be ready. It may be tomorrow, but may also be Thursday, as I have a busy day tomorrow.Quote:

Can we have a black santa emoji please? Or as he's called around the world "normal santa"

In the chit chat sub forum, the video tags do not seem to work. On the bar in Quick Reply next to INSERT IMAGE, there is no INSERT VIDEO option in that sub forum. At least for me there was not. Using the [*VIDEO][*/VIDEO] tag also did not work.
No, we want to keep a time limit on editing of posts, that way a poster cannot go back and change their post after another has quoted and replied to it. Right now, the time limit for editing a thread title or adding a poll is 5 minutes and the time limit for editing a post is 10 minutes. That should be enough time to correct any major issues.Quote:

Anything over 500 pixels wide will result in removal or a request to remove it, and will be subject to a Signature Infraction."
However, we've thought about changing them a little and making them a little more forgiving.
I was curious, while I think VBulletin is fine, what is your opinion on Xenforo?
So, my time settings are GST + 5.5 but the time I'm actually getting is GST +5. Even at the bottom, it's GST +5.
I'd also like to ask about the prospect of tournaments. I expect the WZT will be migrating here, but I'd also be very interested in seeing some of the tournaments that WZ saw in 2009, like the band, sitcom, game and movie tournaments returning also. I'd be happy to help out with hosting if it's only a question of dedication and some competence.
You hold yourself in such high regard.Quote:

You only get an apology from me if you apologize first for that thing you didn't do.Quote:

I also don't imagine we're worried about short posts being flagged as spam at this point?
Hmm...interesting.Quote:

After reading more about it, it appears as if it is a minor bug in the vBulletin system which occurred as they prepared the forum for use with PHP 7.1. The fix which is mentioned in that thread I linked seemed to have mixed success. I'm very hesitant to edit a core forum file if it's not an officially supported fix or doesn't have more support as a fix. As such, I'm probably not going to be able to take care of this at this time.Quote:

I CAN tell you if this forum takes off and shows staying power, we'll probably make a move to vBulletin 5, which will likely have a fix. Sorry about that, I wish I could have been more help.
No problem. Thanks. ��Quote:

Just wanted to say thanks. For the message limit being good enough. I don't need to delete what I don't want to anymore. Thank you.
I've been stumbling a bit with the images. I tried linking a couple but a message told me they were too big. I tried to upload them and they did but the image appears at thumbnail size. Is there a way to choose what size the image is if it's automatically compressed?
Yeah, I used to have problems with that on another forum on which I posted.Quote:

Sorry wrong thread.
Custom user titles, I didn't see them in the settings. I can't remember if they were allowed on Wrestlezone or not, I recall having them though.
I know another forum that uses this similar vbulletin layout even can have html codings in the custom user titles. Things like colors, bold, or even pictures if they're formatted to the right size.
Not sure why, but this issue has been popping up today. When I type my response, I hit reply, it posts, but my response stays in the quick reply section. Just started doing this today.
I had to change a setting, but it should be good now, assuming you have at least 5 posts.Quote:

If no, I would then like to see a sort of map of events in wrestling, just like WrestlingInc have, to make it even better, just the poster of the next WWE event with a link to the thread discussion.
The forum blocks, the "Latest Posts" on the right feature, is a global setting and can either be enabled or disabled, but as best I can tell can not be made template specific. I'll look more into it, but as of right now, I'm not seeing anything.Quote:

I think he wants just a list of the events and their date/time from all the big promotions.Quote:

I use multiple of his plugins for my Rangers' forum. Sub-forum manager, Moderating Stats, Auto Birthday Greeter, Attention Zero-Posters, Advanced Registration, Advanced Forum Statistics, and Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count are all personal favorites.
Also, I know you mentioned not wanting to pay for a new theme, but for the money ($28), Primus is a well-designed, well-functioning template with five solid/fluid versions: https://themeforest.net/item/primus-...21272?s_rank=7
I think you'd particularly enjoy the black and white version given the "Steel Cage" theme and all. You can check out a live demo above.
Not sure what is the best place to post thus, but out of curiosity, what skills and programming languages do you need/use to create and maintain a forum like this?
You don't need to know any of them. But having a rudimentary understanding of basic HTML/CSS and some understanding of PHP would definitely help.

Honestly, things like mods are not super difficult. You just need to make sure you run backups before you install them.Quote:

Which is where I would likely get in trouble.Quote:

I could probably do that when I get some free time.
Hey friends, I'm messaging a person on here, and I have a habit of reviewing my writing in PM before sending it, and it says there are too many characters. Is there a way to lengthen this out a bit? I understand if you want to keep this as is, but it would be cool to be able to jot something down, like say for a review or something, before posting it without a character limit like that. Not a major deal right now, but this might pose a problem later when WZCW makes the final transition.
PM limit here is 5000characters, WZ is 25,000 if you need the numbers.
I've changed the limit for a PM to 40,000, the same as if you were posting in a thread.Quote:

If you turn off signatures on the forum, I would expect that would remove them on the mobile site. I do not believe there is a way to disable only on mobile however. If you need instructions to disable signatures, let me know and I can point you in the right direction.Quote:
