Excellent!

Easily one of the best new mods, thanks Ian

Don't forget to thank LK. I did the html, hiding part. He did the perl/colors for new posts/the one thing I can describe but most wouldn't understand it thing

Good job! (Al did really most of the job)

Sorry, it's me again!

I can not find the following code at public_forum_summary.pl (file from 6.7 final)

# FIND: #
###########

my $modby = qq~
$vars_wordlets{moderated_by} $Moderator~;
if((($Moderator eq $vars_wordlets{"no_mods"}) && ($vars_display{DisplayModBy} eq "nomods"))
|| ($vars_display{DisplayModBy} eq "no")) {
$modby = "";
} # end if

###############
# ADD AFTER: #
###############

if($ThisHTML =~ m/^.+bulbcolor("(d{7}.d{4})","(d+)");/isg) {
my $whatever = $1;
if ($LastPostJulian > $whatever) {
$ThisHTML =~ s/^(.+)bulbcolor("(d{7}.d{4})","(d+)");/$1 bulbcolor("$LastPostJulian","$3");/isg;
}
}

In public_forum_summary.pl, change

to

Thanks, it worked!

Am I missing something? I followed the replace, add after instructions but looks like some of the code I am supposed to search for in the original .pl file is different from the instructions.

I have the latest 6.7.

please give me examples of what you're having trouble with. All of that code should be in the corresponding files

sub Normal_Table_Row {
use vars qw($ThisHTML);
# Caution: Relies on lots of local()s

is what you are asking to find.

this is what i actually have.

sub Normal_Table_Row {
# Caution: Relies on lots of local()s
my $Row = qq~

any update on this?

Young, search for:

And post the lines above it, it should be below:

Give the 5 lines above and below it.

Wow, this is just a fantastic mod. It should be implemented into the next UBB version.

Updated with fix for the guy who doesn't have a single normal letter in his name

this bites for some reason I am getting both the - and + gif with one on top of each other and not clickable.

did the mod three times double checking each line for mistakes.

Actually I believe his "g" and "T" are regular
