No go on that.

Sorry, it's working fine in IE6 here. Check to see that you have truly emptied all your cache (temporary internet files). If y ou aren't getting the proper image, then you've got something else going on that's blocking it.

Midnight is probably one of the classiest looking themes I have ever seen on a Vbulletin type forum - and I have been a member of a lot of them!

Well done - its now my default for sure.

I agree 100% - nicely done

w00t glad you like it

I'm trying to add a couple more today

One minor detail....the voting seems a bit too relaxed. I think maybe there should be a minimum number of votes before a rating show us (pretty sure the software can do this). As is you can vote your thread 5 stars and it shows up that way with only your vote. Kinda silly IMHO.

Andy is any of these theme updates related to the post counts not getting updated any longer? Doesnt seem to be related to any one theme, they all seem to not show post counts updating

And then the next guy can vote it down....

Hm. Well, I can change it, sure. What's the right number of thread rating votes before the rating should be displayed?

Well go figure...I write that, and it seems to be fixed. All day yesterday and this morning, my post count was stuck at 644...now it seems fine...

I would say three would be a good practical minimum. If three people think the thread is worthy of a rating, I would like to know that. But if only one person...meh. I have been duped by the rating before, and generally ignore it now as not being a very accurate indicator.

System

3 sounds about right. 5 might be too high as to prevent any ratings since I'm not too sure about how often people even use the function. Just so that the author can't stick it with a 5 star rating with nly his or her own vote. Much like voting for your own image in a challenge.

It might get used more if the results were more meaningful.

If you get 3x Gus across, you get a free bowl of Kava

I have one observation about the midnight style. The only thing causing me trouble is the little icon for jumping to the newest post in a thread. It is so tiny I keep missing and have to try over to get in just the right spot. If the active area were sqaure (add height top and bottom) it would probably do the trick.

The little right-facing arrow here, next to your name? If yes, well - it's actually bigger her than in the default style.. but...

The link area I am talking about is bordered in red:



The links are in the page:
http://www.dgrin.com/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all

It is so small that hitting it with the mouse takes more concentration than threading a needle

The link area is larger than that for me.

Interesting. In FF I'm seeing pretty much what you are. In Safari, I'm getting a larger link area.

Hmm? I am using Firefox 2 in linux. Maybe it is a browser thing?

Ahh I see your second post about safari.
