Increasing the size of avatars in the profile page

[99silver99]

Forum URL: ps-deutsche.boards.net/

Hello. Thanks to this (https://www.proboards.com/admin-guide/themes-styles/mini-profile-avatar-width) site I was able to increase the size of avatars in the mini-profiles. However I wasn't able to find anything on how to increase the avatar size when viewing someone's profile. Is there a solution to that?

Thanks in advance,

Silver

Hi

Try doing this first. If you open up your User Profile template [ admin > themes > layout templates ] and look for:

$[user.avatar_medium]

and change it to:

$[user.avatar]

See how that looks, and then post back if it is not quite right.

This worked out well, thank you very much!
I'm sorry for the inconvenience but another question that just came up: is it possible to enable formatting in thread titles? So that I'm for example able to put things of the title of a thread in bold or different colour to see in the board list?
If not, where can I edit this in general?

Thank you in advance again,
Silver

Is this something you would be doing a lot, or just for certain occasions? Because it can be done using CSS which you can add to your stylesheet. Eg, you could add:

#thread-652789 .thread-link {
font-weight: bold;
color: #FF0000;
}

Where the 652789 is the thread's ID [ can be seen in the link, if you look in the url in the address bar of your browser, that is the ID of this thread ]. That will change the thread name for this topic to bold and red font. You can add that multiple times for each thread you want to change.

99silver99, how did you get on with the code Craig provided. Did this allow you to accomplish what you wanted?

[99silver99]

I just tested it out, it worked well for me. Thank you!
What I would love to do aswell is change this for all threads in general. In the Visual Editor I was able to change the font size, however it kept changing the Font Size of the "Prev" & "Next" buttons at the top aswell (who would be too big if I put in the font size I wanted to keep). Changing the font-weight in the Editor didn't accomplish anything aswell.

EDIT: Nevermind, just tried it out again and the Buttons didn't change (changed it in Body (Content) -> Lists (Boards, Threads, Posts...) -> Rows -> Text -> Links). The "Font Weight" option still didn't work though

[Craig]

Glad you got that working as you wanted

Hm, changing this somehow had the effect that hovering over a board title causes it to change its font, instead of only changing its colour (as it did before with the Design I installed). Do you know where I can find this in the Stylesheet

EDIT: Board* title, not thread title. In fact, hovering oder the board title changes its font to the same font the thread title has. 

[Craig]

You can change the font type in the visual editor.

admin > themes > advanced styles and css > body ( content ) > lists ( boards, threads, posts... ) > rows > highlight > text > link

You should see an option there for font family.  Unless you specifically want it to change font family when hovered, the best thing to do would be to leave it blank.  Any problems, post back

If you change any of the properties with "Font" in the name it'll cause the font of the element to change because they all affect a single property that controls all aspects of that element's font.

In Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet you can change the values of @lists_links_font and @lists_text_font back to @empty if you want to reverse your changes performed in the Lists section thus far.

Thank you, that was what I was searching for.
Another thing: Why don't the groups switch their colour when I change it? I changed them in Members -> Member Groups and waited for the green "Save" thing to pop up, however it didn't change anymore. Does it sometimes take a while for them to change? A few hours ago it worked almost instantly.

(Sorry for that many questions, I'm pleasantly surprised and really appreciate the fast replies)

Themes can specify their own group colors. In Themes > Theme Manager click on your theme to enter its settings, then click on the Groups & Ranks tab. If you want the theme to use the colors you specified on the Member Groups page you can click on the link below the list that says Load default group settings.

Totally forgot about that, thank you very much.
(am I right to keep asking questions in this thread or should I rather open up a new one?)

I just tried adjusting the font of the links in the "Last Post" column (<<Threadname>> by <<User>> etc.). However it seemed to be linked to the font of the thread titles (not the board titles) and I couldn't get them to be changed seperately. Is there a way to accomplish that?

[Brian]

Since this thread has been exclusively about design help I've moved it into the Templates board since the Support Board is for technical support.

There's no section that controls the font sizes within the Last Post column but it's pretty easy to target just the links there by adding new CSS to the bottom of Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet.

Change the font size in red to your preferred font size.

.boards .latest a {
    font-size: 13px;
}

Thank you, is there an easy way to find how to target the specific element I want to customize? For example links in normal text posts seem to be affected by the same source (".list a { ..." I think it is?) aswell. Is there an easy way for me to for example find out how to target only those links in text posts, so I don't have to bother you with such questions again?
