"Bold" and "Hyperlink color" don't work

Define "everything else" - looking at the forum (WBD-Dawn theme), not everything is bold.

Please, use the theme "Hawkclan" for now, as it is the one I'm making tests on.
This is an example of a thread: everything in the posts is bold.

Ok found the issue. In your Forum Wrapper layout template for both the Hawkclan and WBD-Dawn themes there was a missing closing tag for <b>:


This affected everything that came after it - which basically is most of the forum.  I've fixed this and so you should be good to go.



(Note, I didn't look at the other themes.)

Thank you so much! Would you please tell me how you modified it exactly, so I can fix the other themes as well?

Then we can move on to the bump button thing!

Changed it from this:
<b>Logout</>to this:
<b>Logout</b>



Regarding the bump, the reason it is not available to you is because you were not assigned that power by the forum's admin.

I'm sorry, but I can't seem to find that exact code in the CSS sheet. I even used the search command, but I swear I cannot find it. Would you tell me please the number of the line where it sits? (Thank you so much for your patience!)


So the bump is actually present but not available to all members? Could you please send me instructions on how to set the bump option to everyone so that I can tell the admin/change the settings?

It's not in the CSS. You will find it in the Forum Wrapper layout template as I mentioned previously. 

Admin > Structure > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper

In the Hawkclan theme it's on line 41. Usually the logout is just a template variable: $[logout_link], so you may or may not find it in other themes, and if it's there, the line number may differ depending on any other modifications.

Artificially bumping a thread is actually frowned on and not a best practice. For this reason the bump function is reserved as a moderator function and there isn't really a setting that just makes it available to all members.

Is there a reason you are wanting this function available for all members?

So... I copy-pasted the whole line just in case, but it seems that nothing changes in the theme Dawn. I don't understand. The logout function seems right, but the bold function is still not working. It's working only on Hawkclan theme currently.



Yes. We have sections such as "Roleplay finders" where users ask for interactions, and since they are a lot in number after a while they easily get drowned. (Especially when the finder requires lots of people to participate into a plot, and so it takes lots of time to find them). We previously used to bump manually by posting, but it was unaesthetic and it also filled the thread with useless posts. That's why we're now seeking for an easier way to bump threads. Of course this action will be moderated by our moderators, and rules will be set about using it.

Is it the WBD-Dawn theme or Bearclan? It appears you were working on the Bearclan theme.  Regardless both should be working now.

Thank you, now everything's fixed! I'm so thankful for your patience.

What about the bump button? How can our admin set the permission to everyone being able to use it?

I have a couple ideas about the bumping. Let me ask though, will this be for a specific set of boards?
