    Cool New things

    There are a bunch of new things on the forums, that I can't list them all. As I am trying to get everything back and to make it better, I am having to install some things as well (mostly updating mods so they work with V4 of the forums). I will try to keep this list up to date of some new features that might interest you.

    -new version of the shout box, as well as it has more options
    -installed a different chatbox, one that you can adjust the size of the font, for easier viewing
    -some new BBcode
    ---> highlighted code it's the image when you are typing a post in advanced mode, in pop up box, type in the color you want mmm green!!
    ---> strike through use the button, or you can use (-) text (/-) code, just replace ( ) with [ ] (funny, this is so I can keep notes and cross stuff off my to do list, that's where the custom BBcode all came from
    ---> added youtube bbcode, you can type (youtube)theurl extension, such as EtGQgSY9Nn4 (/youtube) and your vid will appear right in your post; replace ( ) with [ ]


    There is a new skin for your using, that's must easier on the eyes. You can select this in the lower left hand corner of the forums, in the dropdown menu, select Dakrness 6.4 or click here and near the bottom, at Forum skin, you can select your choice as well

    Another skin has been added, Dark Green. This is much easier on the eyes, and fixes a few issues with the color selection on the chatbox, that's an issue on the darkness skin

    -Fixed an issue with the format of the first post of a thread where it wouldn't stretch to the edge of the page, but after the first post, it would.

    -added some forum stats, at the bottom of the forums

    -added "My Mood" mod, editable from the nav bar above

    -added Tapatalk support for mobile devices -> www.tapatalk.com


    Again, this is just a start and I will try to update it as things are added. Of course there are a ton of new features from V4 of the forum software (some are disabled till things are straightened out).

    If you know of something that you would like added or see, please post them and will see what can be done.

    How do I go about changing the style/theme/whatever it's called of the forum. This one...hurts my eyes.

    More specifically, is there one that's the same as the old one, or similar, and if so, what is it called? Thanks

    Bob, you can't. During the upgrade from version 3 to version 4, we lost pretty much everything, cause it wouldn't convert. I wanted to keep atleast one of them, but when I looked at it, it looked like someone threw it in a blender and stuff was all over the place. Maybe when I get home tonight, I will look for something that is easier on the eyes for a temp solution. There are a few out there but the ones I looked at didn't sit well with me, I didn't like how they looked. Feel free to browse here and if you find something you like, post the link to it and I will see what I can do, or atleast add it to my to do list.

    I found one that is easier on the eyes. I will try to get it loaded tonight, as I put it high on my to do list.

    You should grab a handful of them so we could have choices on what looks the best
