MyBB Community Forums

ok, it is looking for the forum fid probably. You are using a css class somewhere?

Let me see if I can change the query.

Yes I'm using this in the Forum Name settings, they display as required on the index page just not on the page we've just created and the Mod CP both of which I can't work out why and would like them to.

Can you post the forumbit where you are styling the forum name to give it a colour?

Wait - you are adding the styling in the name of the forum? Like in the ACP manage forums?

Yes, I'm adding it in the ACP Manage Forums.

Right. Um. That is an odd way to do it. You could style by forum fid you know.

But Forum Names are styled with different colours, if I did it in the forumbit template it would change them all.

ok, try this (no idea if it will work tbh) and icons still not fixed....

It did indeed work , are you able to make them display correctly in the Mod CP as well?

Also I noticed that in the User CP a similar system is shown although the thread list shows only your latest threads, could taking a look at the code in the User CP template help you get the icons working?

that is indeed my plan

I just wanted to fix that forum name thing first

We appear to be on the same page , are you able to fix that on the Mod CP too?
