Sorry for the title. I have no idea what to call this title whatsoever (or can find out what the $code is called either) This is not theme related but a little info: I have a theme installed and have a seperate layout template installed. Managed to get the layout template for the mini profile to work and all that stuff, which is great. Now, I'd like for the messages layout to take on the same layout for the posts. The $[post.created_by.miniprofile] has all the css and such to make it look the way it does, but I'd like for $[message.created_by.miniprofile] to take on the same properties of $[post.created_by.miniprofile]. I've tried figuring it out but have no clue anymore and need someone who actually knows how this works. The rest of the layout template works fine (after having adjusted the necessary posts. to .messages but it's this one that needs the magic touch. Is there a way to link it? Do I need to make a seperate CSS for it? What is the magical way? Thanks in advance! (lunar beast viego? not pentakill? :P) You shouldn't need to make a separate CSS, but you could theoretically copy the CSS for the posts / threads and change the classes to reflect the messages classes. The variable that references the content doesn't contain anything other than short hand for the HTML for what it's describing (in this case, the mini profile of the user who created a message). All the CSS should be fairly similar, so I'd do a right click > inspect element on both sets of pages and figure out which classes match -- the naming is pretty clear so you should be able to find it easily. Let me know if you need more specific help -- you'll need to provide your URL (you can PM it to me if you want it to stay private) if so.

TBH the recently updated sidebar error is probably just a red herring — I can't see why that would cause any page "jumping", but it's the only anomaly I could find on the forum, since the issue never occurred for me. I would reach out to the plugin creator in their support thread (I believe the author is Todge) for them to troubleshoot.
If this level of customisation is only present on this theme, and it doesn't occur anywhere else on the internet or with any other theme on your forum, then it does point to a theme issue... I just can't repro it, which means I can't diagnose.
When did it start occurring? Do you remember the last change you made before you noticed the issue?

If the "spreadsheet" is only my submissions, then it's basically useless.... but that helps me understand why it looked like (from what I could make out) that stuff (including what I was looking for) was missing. I am so curious why the word spreadsheet is in quotes — it's not bad or anything I am just confused haha. But yeah, downloading your data is pretty literal in this case, the operative word is your. Sorry it's not better news. :(

Wow... okay... got the "spreadsheet"... and it's basically useless... so... back to my request for assistance getting READABLE copies of my PM's... any suggestions? No; the spreadsheet can be configured to be more user friendly if you have that sort of knowhow, but ultimately the .csv file is all that's available since effectively PMs are just database entries. Edit: I haven't downloaded my PMs in a while but I believe it's also only your PMs, and not PM threads / chains including other people's responses, due to privacy requirements. (Don't quote me on this one tho) Sorry :/

Forum URL: (private) My current proboards url was originally created as niagaracds.proboards.com. I'd like to change it to funflyrc.proboards.com. Can I do this so I don't lose the layout, or do I have to register it all over again and redesign it from scratch? Thank yoU! Yep! I believe it costs $10.00 USD to change, and you can do so in your admin panel under "upgrades".

For what it is worth, I am the Kami that QueenFoxy was talking about; I was helping her recreate one of your v5 themes in v6. However, PB has put v6 development into hiatus, so the work is no longer necessary.
If y'all need assistance with themes or coding, happy to help out in her memory :)

Oh I see, I'm a guest so she (correctly) had the ads enabled for guests to not eat up page views. A PB admin should be able to stop the subscription so her accounts are no longer charged. Otherwise, ad free costs a nominal monthly fee for 50,000 pageviews until the end of the month (or until the 50,000 views are reached, whichever comes first). If there are other staff / moderators with access to ad free they can set up their own subscription and apply them to the board every month. The price is $6.00 USD/mo when you subscribe, or $8.00 USD/mo if you buy once per month. More info can be found here: support.proboards.com/thread/663293/understanding-managing-ad-freeSo sorry to hear of the circumstances. My heart goes out to you all. -- I did forget, it may be possible that she had a succession plan in place with PB admins. It's not guaranteed, but some admins have done that in the past. A PB admin can look to see if she did. If not, that's okay and won't cause any issues provided that PB has another way of validating her passing. That might have been Rick, but Rick died Christmas Day 2020 I have always been a moderator for her here, and in other places before here. I have always been only a moderator as I didn't want to get into things too deeply - rather I took care of the Castle's daily running and referred any issues to her that I could not resolve myself and needed her help to have the issue handled. We worked very closely together. She took care of the main things and communications with you. I would appreciate it, however, if you did check to see if she had a succession plan. Sorry, for clarity I am not a PB admin, just a member :) Scott has posted just a little further up on this thread with additional information.

Scott it looks like she had an adfree sub. might need to cancel it so her card isn't charged posthumously. Thank you. I was aware and had cancelled it before I posted. Should have figured! <3

catlady2710 - We are sorry to hear of the passing of QueenFoxy. As bigballofyarn stated above, as a formality we usually ask for an obituary link for verification before taking any action. I understand that an obituary may not be available yet, but perhaps may be in the near future. If you currently have any other corroborating details please feel free to PM me with this information. Since the forum has current active staff, there is nothing that needs to be done immediately. The forum should be able to continue as is for the time being. Scott it looks like she had an adfree sub. might need to cancel it so her card isn't charged posthumously.

Thank you so much and I will convey your condolences to her family through her FaceBook contact. We miss her terribly. Our hearts are broken. She fell and went into hospital Feb 7 and had an operation which produced some complications she was unable to recover from. I don't want to say too much here as this is public. Foxy paid for our forum to be ad free. We are ad-free at present. Every once in a while some ads would pop up and Foxy would come here to stop them. Oh I see, I'm a guest so she (correctly) had the ads enabled for guests to not eat up page views. A PB admin should be able to stop the subscription so her accounts are no longer charged. Otherwise, ad free costs a nominal monthly fee for 50,000 pageviews until the end of the month (or until the 50,000 views are reached, whichever comes first).

I don't think so. I am moderator for the group and her daughter informed us of her death through a member who was friends with Foxy on FaceBook. What happens if we can't get a death certificate. Are there fees due for Our Fantasy Castle? ProBoards is free; based on what I've seen on your forum, it doesn't look like anyone opted into some of the paid-for features (like a custom URL or adfree) so won't be any costs to keep the forum running. If you can't get a death certificate, PB admins will let you know what they other options are, but historically, a message to PB from the family member has been accepted with the family member confirming details to PB admins, etc. queenfoxy also has an account here on support; PB may be able to do something with that. As a personal note, I was fond of queenfoxy as well from our interactions here on PB Support; I'm sorry for your loss and extend my condolences to her family.

Hi. Can anyone point me in the right direction to the folks who run the Oatcake (Stoke City) messageboard, please. I had an old account that I deleted that I want to reactivate again, if possible. Or if possible, I would like to sign up for a new account. Registration has been disabled so I was wondering if anyone on this board could help me. Many thanks. Hi there! Unfortunately we can't do anything with regards to your membership on a particular forum (PB doesn't interfere with individual forums unless the TOS is being violated) so you'd have to figure out who runs the forum in question for yourself. If the forum is [ this one], it looks like they have a [support board] with guest posting enabled so you can reach the forum staff there. Bear in mind that they may or may not choose to allow you to rejoin them, and that decision — whatever it may be — is entirely theirs and PB won't interfere. EDIT: my apologies, it looks like their support board is also closed to guests; unless you can find publicly posted contact information, you may be out of luck. As a note though, if you deleted your account, that deletion is permanent and the account cannot be 'reactivated'. You'd have to register for a new account.

Haha yeah, the task of trying something fully responsive is not even remotely appealing to me! I think you're right that I can just leave as-is and specify it's optimised for desktop viewing. It's purely my perfectionist brain annoyed by the flaw. Thank you again for all your help, I will be sure to come back again to pick your brains if I run into more trouble! ;P LMAO i don't blame you -- I'm dragging my feet on my new theme since it's so tedious (and that's using my current responsive theme as a base xD). Let me know if you have any other questions :) Happy to help if I can.

JD Unfortunately I have been unable to reproduce this issue at all. Is it only on this theme on your forum? Do you have other themes with similar levels of customisation where it does or doesn't have this issue? The only thing that jumps out at me is that your Recently Updated sidebar coding has a command to parse.icons and the console is throwing an error that it's undefined.

just to eliminate this as a potential cause -- are y'all ad free? ads can sometimes cause this effect.
