    Version 1.0: Add alternating background colors to rows
    Ted @ Crowdstack5 replies
    ❤️
    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.

    Here's what a forum list looks like by default in Crowdstack 1.0: If you want to encase each forum, topic, and survey with a border, add this CSS to your theme: (You'll want to replace the background and border colors with your own of course.) Here's what the same forum list looks like after applying the CSS above:

    How to remove the Topic and Reply counts
    Bradley Blinn0 replies
    ❤️
    Time to give back to the community! I was able to figure this out on my own. I must say, being able to use CSS to control the display of content is valuable. If you are looking to hide the # of Topics within a Forum and the # of Replies to a post, just use the following code in your CSS. This definitely cleans up the look at feel of the pages, IMO: .h-topic-count-label { display: none; } .h-topic-reply-count-label { display: none; } I've tried this out on my site, so I know it works. Enjoy!

    how to bold the forum names and titles of posts
    Bradley Blinn0 replies
    From a design perspective, i think it looks good to have your forum names bolded along with the titles of the topics. To do this, just add the following to your Custom CSS section found on this page: YOURSITE.hooplaupgrade.com/cp/display-settings .h-forum-name {font-weight: bold;} .h-topic-title {font-weight: bold;} I implemented this on my site and it looks good. Enjoy!

    CSS: Add Breadcrumbs on Mobile View via CSS

    ❤️
    Want to add breadcrumbs to the mobile view for your site? We've come up with some custom CSS (thanks, @Brian Lenz!) that you can use to show the "closest" two levels of the forum breadcrumbs on mobile devices. You would insert this CSS in the the Custom CSS field in your Display Settings: .breadcrumbs-wrapper.hide-for-small-only { display: inherit !important; } @media only screen and (max-width: 40.0625em) { .h-page-for-FORUM nav.breadcrumbs li.breadcrumb { display: none; }...

    Following up on now closed discussion of some things you can do to adjust the new sticky header option. I did not want the sticky header to use my default background color, so here's the CSS for adjusting the background color of the new Sticky Header. /*adjusts sticky header to give it white background when not sticky*/ .forum-topic-sticky-header:not(.fixed) { padding: 0 !important; background-color: white; } /*background color of sticky header when sticky*/ .forum-topic-sticky-header.fixed...

    Hi, i am the Admin for forums.elationlighting.com and I checked that forum today and i see there were 5 new posts and 4 of which i never got any email notification about them being created. In short, i am not seeing any new posts via email, i am subscribed to ALL forum sections and i have not gotten any emails to either of my accounts on that forum. some of my co-workers have received the new posts emails, but i have not. I checked my spam folder several times a day, not in there either.

    Members Only Forum

    Hi, Rosemary. Please consider creating a Members Only discussion forum. It looks like everything we write in this discussion space is public and visible to anyone on the web. I'd like to have conversations with other members - but specifically, members who are running Crowdstack. These conversations would be about using Crowdstack to foster, grow, and maintain our communities, not technical issues. What do you think? Thanks, ST

    Forum topics listing pages don't pick up formatting used on replies
    El Loro4 replies
    Minor observation. Forum topics listing pages don't pick up formatting used on replies such as pale text color used to hide spoilers. Assuming that the default of the latest 3 replies is used, this can be dealt with by posting dummy replies after the reply which has used the formatting. I'll demonstrate this by posting such a reply on this topic. The Discussion listing page will show the text that I've formatted in the following reply. I will, once this has been approved.

    Some Customer Support Processing Changes
    Ted @ Crowdstack0 replies
    ❤️💯
    Hey everyone- We've made a couple of changes to the way that our customer support system works. 1. All customer support tickets are now always private. That means that only the person that created the ticket and our support staff can see each ticket. This way, no one ever has to worry about private details about their sites being made visible to the world. 2. Because those customer support tickets are always private now, we disabled the "suggestions" option in the Customer Support area.

    Popup Actions for Milestone Events
    Rich Melvin0 replies
    💯👍
    Would it be possible for you to add a Popup Action in the Automation Rules? This could be handy in many situations: Acknowledging a posting milestone (a member's 100th post, his 500th post, etc.) These would be a good opportunity to build member pride and loyalty via a "Congratulations!" popup. Notices on New Content about threads being started in the correct sub-forum. The setup should allow for us to author different popups for different purposes.

It does not display the specific forum where the thread is posted. Can that be added to the listings? It could look like this: The red text is the name of the forum where...

    It would be really convenient to have some "at a glance" shorthand "Permission Notes" in the CP's Forum Topics View showing Who Can View Subject/View Content/Post/Reply --without having to open each one. Invariably we think a permission is set a certain way for something and it's not. Put the shorthand "permission" notes in the wide-open space between the forum's name and the trashcan in a tiny font. ourURL/cp/forum-structure Shorthand examples: View Subj: All; Content: Spec Roles; Reply:...

    Suggestion About Participation in Forum Threads

    I'm suggesting that there should be a way to indicate to a member if has already posted in a specific thread. Some of the threads on our forum have very long legs. Many are several years old, but remain active with new ideas and photos posted in the threads daily. The record-holder is THIS THREAD which was started in January 2013 and is now 987 pages long! It still has new content posted in it every day. Threads that grow beyond a few pages become very difficult to search. If a member could...

    LOL thanks Rexi! You guys already have some mandates about paid leave time anyway, right? I hadn't heard about Best Buy's recruiting concept regarding Twitter. Sounds like something that might have been a good idea to help evaluate whether the candidate is "social" or not, but that's kind of a random metric to pluck out of thin air. With all of the auto-followers and schemes out there, number of Twitter followers is too easy to game. If I wanted to hire "socially engaged" employees (and I...

    Useful beginners tips Rosemary. I can relate a little of my own experience here if you don't mind.

    Hello Could you please explain just how the new ‘multi quote’ function can be used when you wish to quote from a previous page, as well as the current page? This is often the case especially when a new page has only one or two post on it. I know that you can post a quote from a previous page; we need to be able to quote from more than one page. Having the posting page tied to the current page (crazy) prevents me from being able to do this as the first quote selected cannot survive the page...

    lot of major updates. very impressive. look forward to accessing the beta site and making an aggressive push to launch my Hoop.la site. I think forum owners are going to see a SIGNIFICANT increase in engagement across their site with the mobile friendly responsive design. That is HUGE! I suspect large community sites using UBB Forum will see an amazing increase in overall utilization. I look forward to being more engaged with Social Strata. This is a high quality update for sure. Congrats.
