Another wish list item would be to have the ability in advanced search to search by date.

I think this is what you're trying to do:
Attachment:
searchsubsilver2.gif
searchsubsilver2.gif [ 17.28 KiB | Viewed 2203 times ]

These settings will bring up anything posted within 1 day of the search, and by displaying as topics the results page will look like the "New Posts" page. Alternately you can display as posts, and just see the new posts.

You can do the same thing in the prosilver style, though you'll have to look a bit to find the options I used.

I like it. :)

BTW for the spell checking, that's not a new feature. All you have to do is right-click on the word you spell wrong, and usually there are some options to correct the word. Beyond that I'm not really sure what you mean by spell checking.

Okay, I've found fixes for making the off-site links behave the way they did before, and for adding the prosilver-style code boxes into the subsilver2 style. I won't be the one to actually make the changes, but I am compiling a list to send off so these changes can be implemented.

I'm still looking into the email alert issue.

Are there any other issues anyone is having?

Thanks for checking on the email alerts Beth!

Now if I could just get my KM6VV to show up as a bright blue (or even green)! ;>)

lol - Are you serious? :| When I scroll down the forums all I see is a big pink "KM6VV".

What about something like light-blue, so it's not as visible. :roll:

that's the plan! I like it! This color was specifically chosen by Jim for me (maybe Beth)! Although a nice, bold, bright blue would be OK. ;>:

heh, and here I am thinking they decided to stealth the mods or something... because the buttons were still there but the names were just the normal color. :D

back to green it is. :wink:

The problem with the colors is that phpBB3 does groups slightly differently than phpBB2 did. So even though the mods were still in the Moderators group, you won't get the name coloring unless the group is set to your "Default" group.

Regarding the pink - well, it's an open group, so anyone can join or leave! :D Changes to your User Groups can be done from the User Control Panel -> User Groups. Make a group your Default to get the coloring and advantages of that group, or leave/join a group there.

Note the group that offers the cool pink color offers no other permissions. It's the same as normal, but, well, the names appear in pink! lol
