New Message/private message when you go to send one and start typing in the members name you will get a drop down box with selections the box is white and the letters are almost white

I am talking about the PM feature. Go and try to send a new message and watch the drop down box with name suggestions.

yeah the letters are white and the box is almost white

I had it backwards

What about the posts turning a different color after you've clicked on em and read them ?

FinsnFur · January 08, 2011, 08:02:48 PM

The drop down box that you type a persons name in when PM'ing?

I've never done that. I click the persons name out here that I want to message and it opens with his name already in there.
But I went up and looked, and took out the person name I clicked on and typed a different name back in and I didnt see any drop down

Scott, I've never seen a function that would change the colors of read posts. What part of the read post would change colors?...the text? the title? the window?
Trying to envision this and if I'm looking at a post to see what color it is, I'm not saving anything by knowing whether or not I already read it because I'm going all the way in to look at its color anyway.

Jim
Go in to the message center, and click to type a new message. Then start typing the name and a drop down box will appear. That is what I am talking about.

The box won't drop if you type in Semp but I started to type finsn before the box dropped

Your guys Pm page is a lot different then mine as admin.
Some one send Foghorn a PM quick

KySongDog · January 08, 2011, 08:10:30 PM

OK, try this Jim

At the top of this page click on My Messages. Then under the Messages tab, click New Message. Then in the To: box, type tika. Now the drop down box will appear to give you suggestion to complete the name.

FinsnFur · January 08, 2011, 08:30:17 PM

well like, say when you're at the Home page, and on the bottom where it says "Recent Posts",
and when you click on a post to read it, you read it, and then when you hit your Backspace button,
and are back on the "Recent Posts", I thought the one you just read changed from yellow to white,
or somethin like that.

HaMeR · January 08, 2011, 08:34:52 PM

I'm hearing ya now. Kinda like a link color, a hover color when you run your mouse over it, and then a visited link color.
I dont ever recall the recent posts list doing that. I wouldnt even know how to go about incorporating it.

And I thought I was the only one to do that.

or, even like when you first login, and you click on "show unread posts since last visit",
when you go back to that page, it shows it in a different color, because you've clicked on it.

FinsnFur · January 08, 2011, 08:58:46 PM

Maybe my computer is busted

I just hopped over to the old forum http://www.finsandfur.net/praevius/ and tried it and the post links never changed colors over there either.

iahntr · January 08, 2011, 09:00:51 PM

see, now when I just went back there, they went from blue, to white after I've clicked on any of them.

HaMeR · January 08, 2011, 09:05:04 PM

Scott-- The post topic changes or just the little blue oval "NEW" changes colors.

iahntr · January 08, 2011, 09:08:39 PM

really anything I clicked on, a persons name, a category, a post,,,,
everything went from blue to white after I've clicked on it.
