Avatar Dimensions

I was playing around with the avatar dimension settings in the ACP but couldn't find the default HTML in the style sheets or layout templates. I inspected the page and saw that the default dimensions are set to 96x96.

Is there an easy way to tweak this in the mini profile without completely customizing the section?

Is there a way to make mini profiles be on the right side of a post? + Is it possible to edit mini profile layout?

A cosmetic question for anyone. c:

I was wondering if there's a way to make the mini profiles be on the right side of a post, instead of the left? Like this:

Second related question is, is it possible to change the over all layout/design of the mini profile if I wanted to? If so, where would do that in the ACP? Example (not my design, just an example I have on hand from a site I'm on; I'd still want stats unlike this example):

Not sure how to fill out Custom Classes

Sorry, I don't know why that image is so huge.

I don't know how to fill out the "custom classes" field. I've tried "korok" "<span class="korok">" and "<span class="korok">%s</span>." I checked the documentation/guide, but it doesn't specify how we're supposed to field out either.

Thanks in advance!

Question about version 1.3.7

Forum Access - View vs Read

Hi team,

Got a super simple question.
When it comes to Forum Access settings, what's the difference between View and Read?

Thanks!

Avatar dimensions and size settings not registering

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if this is a user-error on my part so I figured I'd post here first just in case it's user-error.

  • I changed the dimensions + the file size for avatars in the acp

  • Went to upload an image with those dimensions, and it didn't work. Noticed that the dimensions in edit profile > edit avatar are still showing default

  • Changed dimensions and file size a few times. Tried 400x400 at 500kb, 400x400 at 1000kb, 300x500 at 500kb, 300x500 at 1500kb, 300x300 at 200kb (at this point, I was just seeing if anything would stick). Nothing I tried worked.

Yes, I did save my intended dimensions and file size. I've exited my browser and logged back into my site to see if that would do anything. It didn't. I'm not sure what else I would do to troubleshoot this.

Thanks in advance!

[Solved] Sticky tabs work on Codepen, but not on Spark Pages

Hi again!

I'm not sure if this is something I can ask for support on, but worth a shot? I suspect something in this code is interfering with Spark, but I'm not sure how to fix it. If this isn't the type of thing I can ask for support here, I'll check the resource forum to see if there's a code support area there. c:

With the help of Cory and another (they made the skeleton for me), I made a tabbed table to act as an info page on Spark's pages. I made the horizontal and vertical tabs sticky - which do work in codepen.io. I changed the .buttons code to .buttons2 just case it was used somewhere on Spark (had that issue before), but they're still not sticking. Would it be possible for someone to take a look and see what might be interfering?

Thanks in advance!

The longest tab at the moment is "Factions," so you can see the lack of sticky tabs there:

And here's the codepen (I just shrink the window to preview the sticky):

Where to edit colours of XYZ

Hello!

Sorry for posting again so soon. I can't seem to find where to edit the colours of the dropdown menu, some borders, and the text field of the shoutbox in the theme editor. I outlined them in blue for reference.

Alias' Mini Profile

Hello! Apologies if this is not the right section to be posting this. I've been playing around with Forum Spark to create a new RPG site. I was testing out the Alias' feature & it seems when posting the mini profile is still that of the parent account, however on clicking the Alias it does go to the Alias' profile.

Just a little suggestion, not sure if its possible but I think what the RPG community is looking for with Alias' is for it to function a lot like a separate account. So editing the Alias' member group separate from the parent account, seeing its own mini profile & the alias show up on the member list/online list would be greatly helpful.

Thank you so much for your efforts with this forum! I'm looking forward to seeing how Forum Spark develops :)

Can't use IMG bbcode in signature.....page refreshes and turns off dark mode.

Whenever I try to use an image as a signature in the signature section using the [img][/img] tags.....it refreshes the page and turns off dark mode but doesn't parse the BBcode or image......there should also maybe be an ability to upload/attach an image as a signature, maybe as a groups permission?

here is a pic:

Edit: Okay so after futher investigation, it does work, just that there's no signature preview. This might be a feature to add in the future.....but the dark mode turning off upon signature editing still needs to be fixed.

AI Crawler/bot protection?

What sort of safeguards are in place to prevent or combat AI crawler/scraper bots from bombarding the servers at FS?

One of the reasons i'm planning on moving my site over is because it's being bombarded by crawler/AI scrape bots and using up all my hosting's resources.

Removing the board statistics category and replacing footer content

I'm trying to remove the entire Board Statistics category, along with the skin selector, 'mark forum as read' link, and date/time. The only thing I want to have is the box I coded below all that, with the 'online now', online today', and 'recent activity' boxes.

My CSS had some padding elements in it that aren't working. I was trying to put some space between the two online boxes, instead of having them smushed together. I also tried to fit both columns into the same width as the forum above, but nothing I've tried has affected the width at all.

Link to my site: https://test_forum.forumspark.net

Shoutbox Rules

Hello~

When I click on the shield/rules button on Root Support's shoutbox, the rules for the shoutbox appear. However, when I click on the rules for my shoutbox, a translucent overlay appears but no textbox with the rules. I've let it sit for several minutes at different points, and I can't get the rules to show up.

I have the shoutbox enabled, set to bottom, and I did use bbcode for the rules. However, just in case, I removed the section with bbcode but the rules still wouldn't load even with that gone.

How to customise individual board layouts?

Hello!
I was wondering how I could change these two boards:

Into something like this:

I figured out that the boards have unique identifiers thanks to the tabbed category code and Empire. These ones are 90005 and 90006, so I know I'll be targeting those, I think? Is it possible to do on Spark? If not, that's fine! (For the example, I deliberately left out some of the elements, like views. Though I forgot to add topic/post count. /sweats/ Hopefully the point comes across regardless.)

I hope this question makes sense.

question about deleting forum

Hi,
I was wondering how I can delete my forum, I see an option to delete my account, but I'm not sure if that's the same as deleting the forum itself. Hope someone can clarify. Thank you.
