Poll questions are the same color as the background and can't be seen.

The header items are broken on the homepage. Sign up and Donate buttons were above the pig dragon, and the first block of text in the center was pushed off to the right. I cannot post a screen because I'm at work, sorry. Everything is displayed in it's proper spot after clicking to view the forums.

Ah yeah. Hadn't done that at work yet. 

Re: Welcome to the new forums!
I hate to resurrect an old thread, but is there any chance you can look into this further Zic? Or offer a work around? Not being able to see the question in a poll kinda defeats its purpose.zicada wrote:This is the weirdest thing.

Re: Welcome to the new forums!
I'll add in a friendly reminder too; concerning PMs still having a white background instead of tan.
PS: When I log in, I get linked to my "My account" page instead of the forums as it used to. Is this a setting I need to change myself or is it a Drupal default thingie?

I'll have another go at it as soon as i find the time, I'm not at home atm, and it sucks to do this on other computers.KalevD wrote:I'll add in a friendly reminder too; concerning PMs still having a white background instead of tan.

The actual module that glues the phpbb to drupal is changing constantly at this point as bugs are ironed out. Some minor stuff like now ending up in My Account is to be expected. Over all the quality of the code will continue to improve over time though.

My experiments show you can use Color tags in the Poll Question field. I had to Cut/Paste them from the main field, but they worked nicely.

Thanks Curm! I didn't think to try the cut and paste. Now I won't have to nag Zic about this.Curmudgeon wrote: Faeryl:

Re: Welcome to the new forums!
The find a member link when "composing" a message causes all styling to become null and void from there on. Isn't there some way to simply find an ALFAn and add that name to the list of recipients of my latest revelations?
