Now that the default is set back, try changing your personal settings back to your language. Seko said it was working for her in Finnish before I broke it.

it works now again for me with German (the post reply button is not translated, but it is there, which is more important)

Checked all available languages and the button does indeed show in all of them.

I also enabled choosing forum styles (out of two). Maybe this could help with the accessibility issue.

(Besides, I find the alternative style looks much nicer, although not being green.)

Great. Now I have no longer this message on top about unreaded "ghost" message in inbox (ghosts messages still remain in inbox anyway with (1) unread number near inbox, but it is not big issue anyway). Also all links on top are now much more visible in this style. Anyway it is bit werid that user boxes in this style are on right side, not on left :P

I believe that there will be a problem with allowing multiple styles, as Adam only embedded the required junk (adsense, that sort of crap) in the official one. (that's as technical as I can get). The junk needs to be put into any other style made available.

KEVEZ - I upped the PM post limit to 300 and changed the settings to the old forum where incoming messages over the limit caused your oldest messages to be erased instead of being held. This is probably what fixed your issue.

Hmm. The style was installed already and seems to work fine. I just enabled the option to choose. If some functions don't work with the alternative style, one can easily switch back to the default.

It's not anything the user would notice, just all the embedded hidden crap that we have to use to be part of the link exchanges and the google adsense stuff. Adam, can you please clarify?

I think this not fixed issue, as I noticed this already in old style there was still this message on front page about unread message. But in now style it only shows New messages so it looks better with this issue:

User Control Panel (0 new messages) • View your posts


In inbox there are now as beffore, only it changed limit to 300:
Inbox (1)
Saved messages
Outbox
Sent messages

Folder is 1% full (3 from 300 messages stored) messages stored)
Compose message
3 messages • Page 1 of 1

No messages


Anyway with new style this problem is less anyoing and this style works here very fine and looks good.

Cannot this "junk" be added to this prosilver style without big effort?

I wouldn't mind trying to create buttons for (some of) the other languages by the way.


If you wouldn't mind making the buttons, i could send you the British English pack of them.

It's not that big of a deal to, but it has to be done on each one. I'd rather not get into starting to manage multiple themes over multiple languages. Within a few days i hope to have all the languages working as they should be. I'll make sure polish has their buttons working first and then everyone else.

So should we go back and make this the only theme available, or did you want to allow two themes for British English?

Right now all languages should have buttons, but the buttons are in english. I think Piscator is working on making buttons which are free of text, but will be easily distinguishable as to what their function is for all languages.

This isn't so much of a problem, but something that will take getting used to. The dates (and times) of posts are at the bottom on the left. Sometimes I scroll down to check the date/time, then have to scroll up to start reading.

Maybe it's just me... :oops:

Thanks for all the hard work, Forum mechanic!

notsure :?

Ditto

And I just noticed that it says if someone is online next to their name on one of their posts. Impressive.
