Hi there many thanks for this mod Cool

I was wondering as it shows it will work in 2.3 do you know if I can also just use the moded files for 2.4 or will I have to re-edit the files???
thanks

If I had to guess I would say you could use the modified files, but I can't be 100% sure.

I thought about it a little bit. I think the only change I would recommend to those files would be the IE textarea bug fix in posting_body.tpl

there a several copies of that file in there... basically finding the message textarea and editing
find
<textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="35" wrap="virtual" style="width:100%; border: 0px;" tabindex="3" class="post" onselect="storeCaret(this);" onclick="storeCaret(this);" onkeyup="storeCaret(this);">{MESSAGE}</textarea>

change to:
<textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="35" style="width:450px; height: 250px; border: 0px;" tabindex="3" class="post" onselect="storeCaret(this);" onclick="storeCaret(this);" onkeyup="storeCaret(this);">{MESSAGE}</textarea>

the individual files may differ a little from my example, but you get the idea..

Hi I really like the look of this mod, the youtube video works from it amongst the other add-ons, unfortunately the text box only and a thin line where you actually see the text then as you can see by the screenshot the text turns the same colour as the background Crying or Very sad

Does anyone know what file it would be to change that box colour issue?

cheers and thanks

So your only problem is that the text color is the same as the textarea?

hard for us to troubleshoot because you can only see that page if you are registered.
my suggestion is get Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! and right click the textarea and choose "inspect element"

It will show you all the associated style info, and even what file the style is loaded from. Then you should easily be able to either fix the textarea background or the text color.

Hi there, I did try the firebug but when I click on inspect I get these options....

Console, HTML, CSS, Script, DOM, XHR ????

never used this before so am a little confused

Cheers and thanks

If you switch themes is the text still the same color as the background or are we talking something that is theme specific?

when you right click on the textarea and inspect element, the info you want will be in the style tab. If there is styling that is crossed out it means it has been overridden by another style.

In this example I followed this process on a different theme, but I highlighted the styling which applied to my textarea, with background #FFFFFF (white background) and color: #000000 (black text)... Which you can see is declared on line 46 of Forums.css

Thanks for the offer Loki very much appreciated but I just noticed the blue line at the top is actually an image, I basically just increased the image size and all looks fine Very Happy
