    Edit: I appear to have successfully edited my post.

    Ha ha, I was trying to set it to 9999999 to basically leave editing open. I’m not sure what fat fingered technique I must have done to hit the full stop key which is nowhere near the 9. Neither is the 2 for that matter. It shall remain a mystery.

    There are a couple of ways.

    You can adjust the colour settings on your monitor or alternatively get some coloured cellophane and attach it to your screen.

    Just kidding – no there’s no user side function to alter the background.

    If you know CSS, you can use the Stylus add-on to change how the site looks for you.

    So far, the only changes I’ve made are to fix paragraphs being squashed together:

    div.bbp-reply-content p
{
    margin-bottom:10px;
}

    and to add a background colour to quotes:

    blockquote.d4pbbc-quote p
{
    background:#f0f0f0;
}

    You are right, it doesn’t. It came as part of a plugin, that I see after a bit of Googling relied on a previous plugin they say is no longer supported. I’ll do some searching to see if there’s a better option available or there’s a code to fix it.

    Just a thought too. I think since this kind of board design came in we’re more used to scroll down than pagination. I can increase the number of posts per page (it was initially set at 15 and I increased to 25), just wondering if there are any downsides to that. I suppose it may take longer to load but we’re in broadband days now.

    Yeah and that’s really something we’ll be able to see by trying it out. I can adjust the post count per page up or down pretty easily if I get feedback some threads are taking too long to load.

    I’m personally not having any issues with it but that is on a fast fibre connection so may not apply to all.

    Uh… maybe… I dunno, sometimes they’re black even though I haven’t read it… I just tried opening a thread with a purple flag in a new window, it does goe black… but when I read it, the flag disappears… so :unsure:

    In my experience so far, when I click on a purple flag it brings me to the first unread post in that particular thread. After I leave the thread, the flag is black. Also, if I exit the site and then come back, if that thread has no new posts, there is no flag at all.

    Until Jim allowed people to join upon request I thought the Treehouse, on the old board, on non-Treehouse threads was like Fight Club.

    Times change, this group has gotten smaller and the reasons for it existing changed.
    .
    Originally Jim set it up because he didn’t want off topic threads (away from pop culture) to detract or distract from Mark’s brand. That’s no longer a concern as this site is independent of any of those worries. I was going to not set it back up but many expressed that they liked a place they could discuss personal stuff or share photos that wasn’t public so it stayed.There’s less activity there now because a lot of the Treehouse threads can go back in the pub.

    As long as people have spent time with the board long enough to be part of the community they can go in.

    If any regulars can’t access it they can tell me here because it needs to be added on one by one and I’ve lost track. Some have changed usernames and I may not recognise who they are.
