Just had a look at your forum.

Everything appears fine to me.  The newest member shows in the news bar correctly.

[toetapping]

Thank you for getting back to me Peter. The welcome of new member comes up ok but I have two other items of news that I want to show.

Sorry, didn't check the other messages.

Could you remove the script for the moment, let me know when you have, just so I can write something in my console to test.

[toetapping]

I have removed the script.

Can't find any issues, working fine for me when I try it from the console.

Hi, toetapping

What browser are you using?
Have you tried any other browser to see if you have the same issue
Have you tried disabling the news feed
And then try entering your news messages again.

Steve

I notised in your earlier posts that you said you had Two news feeds showing
When you add the code there should be only one $[news]
with the code added under that.

The old code still works for me with no problem have you gave that a go

[toetapping]

I am using FF. I have also tried Internet Explorer.

I disabled the news feed then entered messages again.

I only have one news feed now showing Steve but it only shows the latest members not my other bit of news I have, talking about competition and Thanks for visiting.

Here is how I have the code. Shame I can't get it as had it before upgrade.

I appreciate your help.

Hi, toetapping


Have you tried using the old code and see if works
I'm using the old code and all seems to be working Ok for me in Opera & IE8

Also are you using any other code or plugin that modifys the news feed?

OLD CODE BELOW

Goto...

Admin Home > Themes > Layout Templates

Click on "Home".

Under "$[news"]", add this script.

<script>

var user = '$[newest_user.escaped]';
var forum = '$[forum.name.escaped]';

$("#news .items").prepend("<div style='width: 895px; float: left;'>Please welcome our newest member " + user + " to the \"" + forum + "\"</div>");

</script>

Thank you for posting this! It didn't work with the "to the forum" after the new members name, so I took it out and gave it a try and it worked perfectly.

This is what I used -

Goto...

Admin Home > Themes > Layout Templates

Click on "Home".

Under "$[news"]", add this script.

<script>

var user = '$[newest_user.escaped]';
var forum = '$[forum.name.escaped]';

$("#news .items").prepend("<div style='width: 895px; float: left;'>Please welcome our newest member " + user + "\"</div>");

</script>


Thanks again!

[toetapping]

Thank you both for helping me out it is so appreciated.

The new code is working.

Thank you once again.

[Peter]

I've added both codes to my first post, not sure why 1 code works for some, and the other code works for others, very strange.

I have a problem. The code works. It flashes "Please welcome our newest member_____ " The problem is where the the user name is supposed to be it is blank. The user name is there, you just can't see it (if you highlight the name it shows up). Is this a problem with the code or is the name font color the same as the background? I can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.

Bump. I still haven't got this figured out. The news feeder says "Please welcome our newest member_____ " The new member's name is there, (if you highlight over were the member's name should be you can see it) it just seems the font of the member's name is the same color as the background. I did notice when the new member is added to a group that has the "Styled Member Names" plugin the name will show.

 Can someone give me a little help with this please?
