Display Past Posts When Replying

I'm basically just trying to figure out how to set it up so that when someone is posting a reply in a thread, that they can see the posts they are replying to.  Right now, if I click Reply, I only get a screen where you can write a response, but you can't see the most recent posts in that thread.

Is there a way to make that change?

Usually, when clicking reply, you should get a thread summary (the posts of the page you were on) at the bottom of the page, just under the reply box, is that not the case for you?

[streen47]

Exactly.  There is no thread summary

streen47, Are you using quick reply or full reply?



If you're using a pc or the desktop version of a mobile browser, and use full reply, there is indeed a thread summary at the bottom.

After prodding around on your site a little (I haven't made any posts), I can see that the theme in question does not have the thread summary at the bottom.

Seeing as this is now more a theme related question than a service one, this would either be a question for the theme author or maybe more likely to find a reply in the Coding & Development > Theme board but maybe a red will have a better answer.

streen47, since this is an issue relating to the theme itself, I would follow Joachim's advice and contact the theme author.

That would be wonderful, but the creator of the theme expressly rejects any messages sent to him requesting help with his themes.  It seems he has no problem creating issues and no desire to fix them.

1. Go to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS, Style Sheet tab.
2. Make sure the current theme selected is Night rising
3. Go to line 1818 and find this:
.container.posts.summary { display: none !important; }4. Remove this line of code.
5. Save changes.

Just throwing in some defence for Smangii here; he’s an incredibly busy person and most of us theme/plugin creators hate getting PMs about issues with our content as opposed to them being posted publicly, because this frequently leads to people abusing the ability to PM us and crosses the line into harassment and/or an expectation we’d be at their beck and call.

It is unfortunate that Smangii is really busy currently but I think it’s doing him a disservice to say he has “no problem creating issues and no desire to fix them”. When he’s available he helps out. Bear in mind we’re all real people and we have lives outside support which is NOT indicative of our desire to help.

Thank you, Scott, that fixed it

Sorry for insulting Smangii, Kami. I was just frustrated. I should show some more respect, because the theme of his I'm using is fantastic.
