TipsHello Everybody, Opening links in new windows is trivial once you know what you are doing. Simply add a target="_blank" attribute to any link (a element) and you have yourself a link that will load in a new window. Example: <a href="http://socialstrata.com" target="_blank">Example</a> So seeing how simple it is you might be asking yourself why do we need a tip? Well its simple, a lot of the HTML for Crowdstack is out of the site administrators direct control. Meaning there will...

Tips❤️You can add alternating background colors to rows in Crowdstack 1.0. For instance, here is an unstyled list of forums (v1 sites only): We can apply alternating background colors to these forums easily by adding this CSS to our theme: After we apply this CSS, our Forum List looks like this: The CSS above specifically tagets the .h-ubb-directory-forum-box, so if you are looking to add alternating colors for a different list, you'll want to make sure you target that specific class.

Tips❤️One of the new features is support for Font Awesome font icons. The advantage of using font icons is that they can scale to different sizes without distorting whereas using images can't scale without distorting or adding blurriness. New to the applilcation are text-based member badges instead of image-based badges. If you want to add some extra flair to your premium member badge, you can inject a Font Awesome font icon with some simple custom CSS. First, you must select which font icon you...

Blog Post CommentHi Rosemary, Thanks for the COPPA update. Can you call out the cavalry on the eve question shark forum? There are a bunch of us whose entire websites and forums have been down for an hour without response from social strata. Thanks so much.

Blog Post CommentI think the basic age limit should be raised to 18. Just had a high school senior friend me on Facebook simply because I graduated there 25 years earlier. I seriously doubt that she would really want to hang out with a 43 year old truck driver.

Blog Post CommentYou're welcome Lynda! And the cavalry resolved the issue yesterday...I'm looking to improve our outward communications when things like that happen; we'd like to be much more proactive than we were yesterday, and I'm sorry for that. Harold, I might agree with you. It's kind of funny that the actual age issue never really came up in their discussions. It's probably because there are certain situations where you wouldn't want to lock out 15-16 year olds.

Blog Post CommentThe conversation about kids online is an interesting conversation. Sometimes it is tricky to navigate these waters. Do you guys staff an ip lawyers or do you use one from the outside. I would be interested to see how small businesses handle these issues.

Topic ReplyTed, I copied and pasted your code and it worked perfectly. Thx. Might you be willing to provide the code for when you are within a forum and its displaying the list of topics? The above code doesn't work on this page and I have no idea how to write the CSS to target this

Topic ReplyHi @MHK@CS2 - The Crowdstack application does not currently use the term "role" in any sense. Recipes do not either. Recipes have triggers, conditions and actions, but not "roles". You can target specific circles in a recipe (as a "condition" and through certain "actions"). But, to reiterate, this is nothing but a terminology change-- all references to what Crowdstack currently calls "Circles" will be called "Roles" when this release is deployed. It wil not change the behavior of any of your...

Topic ReplyGood evening, The REM value is derived from the "Base Font Size" setting defined within your theme: CP -> Design -> Standard Themes If you edit your theme you will see the setting in the "Fonts" section. Consider a REM value a multiplier of that value. So if you have a "Base Font Size" of 16px, and you want to target a element to use a 12px font size you would set the REM value to 0.75rem. That is 16px * 0.75 = 12px. I think I can sense what you are thinking: "But Jonmark, why wouldn't...

Suggestions🎉❤️There are certain menu items in our Crowdstack Top Menu Bar that link off-site, so we would like them to open in a new browser window or tab. The "Edit Menu Item" feature within the admin area does not provide a place to enter the target="_blank" code. I figured out how to do this with some JavaScript, but I had top-level technical help to do it, which might not be available to everyone. If you could incorporate code to provide the means to open a menu link in a new window or tab, similar to...
