Getting in Style!

[Mr. Hankey]

I agree the default is too bright, too much pure white lol. Could be tweaked just a little to fix that.

I guess I'm alone in thinking the carbon theme is horrible.

And I guess I'm the only one who likes white background and black text. Just seems so much easier to read (to me).

If I could ever lean how to do stuff like this, I think it'd be fun to do a USA red, white, and blue theme.

If you guys find a full CMS theme you like that supports 4.0.6+ version of vBulletin I would be happy to install it having choice is a good thing. There is always a risk during the upgrade that they won't look quite right (like the current carbon) and we need to wait for an update from the creator. Also there are supposed to be big changes coming in the 4.1 version that make custom themes easier.

I see that spaces are not supported yet when posting.

What do you mean?

When I post the new members, I like to move any previous team affiliation out to the right almost in a column. (wish I could do a column) When I try to do that here, it doesn't recognize the spaces. The old board was that way untill a MOD was put in.

I am still looking around, but so far I am not having much luck trying to fix this..... hmm.

Ok what I have found so far is not helpful... check this info out:

Actually it is your browser that is stripping the spaces...

The HTML specification specifies that the user-agent is supposed to ignore whitespace. Because of this, a browser will only produce one space or carriage return even if there are multiple of each together. In order to get around this, the <pre> tag was created. It specifies to the user agent that all text should be shown as formatted.

So I can actually use columns in my text by doing this and using the <pre> tags in an html block. I may be able to create a custom bbcode to do this...

<pre>
test              test               test
</pre>

Ok, I created a custom bbcode and I used it to edit your post take a look here:

The bbcode is [wht] for white space you just include that block around the line which you want to have space in and it should work. In the post above I used the tag 3 times

If I understand the above correctly, the tag is to be used instead of the tab code from the old board.

Sweet fix Mr. Hankey. Kudos!

Crud! I discovered a bug (at least for me) with the white space code.
When I try to add the following to a post

[wht][b]PL - Team Total - Team Day - Team Week - Team Month - Team RAC - Team[/b][/wht]

I get a double carriage return in the parsed text:

PL - Team Total - Team Day - Team Week - Team Month - Team RAC - Team

Any ideas?

Start the first line of data immediately after the /wht tag on the same line...
