    sorry to mess you around mate, is there any way to have the yellow background back with the blue writing sorry matey.

    I know you’re a busy man Mark, just wanted to make sure that you’d seen this.

    Hi Mark,

    Is there any way to put a borer on these boxes or style them to match the other widgets? So for example like the quote link and hover colour?

    @jac also do you know if the “user reading discussion” plugin will enable to view who’s reading the thread on mobile?

    @JAC

    Yeah it’s possible

    example here for border color, background, or shadow, transparency, border radius :

    .recent-cards .recent-card-container .recent-card {
        height: 200px;
        width: 100%;
        padding: 10px;
        position: relative;
        border: 1px solid #YOURCOLOR; /*border color*/
        box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #YOURCOLOR; /*add a border shadow color*/
        background-color: #YOURCOLOR; /*background color*/
        border-radius: 5px; /*Radius*/
        margin-bottom: 10px;
        color: #YOURCOLOR; /* Text color*/
        opacity: 0.8; /*Opacity, trnasparency*/
    }
    

    Other example for categories and time :

    .recent-cards .recent-card-container .recent-card .footer .category-item a,
    .recent-cards .recent-card-container .recent-card .footer .sort-info {
        color: #YOURCOLOR;
        white-space: nowrap;
        text-overflow: ellipsis;
        display: block;
        overflow: hidden;
    }

    EDIT:

    Hmm if you talk about nodebb-plugin-browsing-users, the don’t work on mobile (we don’t see who read or talk at real time like on desktop).
    But when a user is on a topic or write a comment, you see him on desktop.

    I think this is normal because there is not enough free space in the header topic on mobile to display the avatars like on desktop

    Would there be any reason why the colour shows differently in the nav bar and card slider?

    Screenshot 2022-01-14 at 12-18-44 Stockport County FC Fans Forum.png

    Obviously needs a lot of work with the link colours etc.

    @jac Yes, because they are links that sit inside another DIV, so they will auto inherit from the a href CSS. You can override that with this (as an example - choose the colour you prefer)

    .recent-card-body a {
        color: #ffffff;
    }

    @phenomlab Thanks Mark for the fast response.

    Unfortunately the above change only changes the title colour?

    or just

    a {

    but this code change other things like title of topic or a hlink for example.

    It all depends on what you want to get but the phenomlab method is better

    For the difference of color you must use the same color code than the navbar

    Here a good link for color code I use: https://htmlcolorcodes.com

    @downpw @phenomlab thanks all.

    if you go to link you’ll see I now have sorted most of it, although I am still unable to match the nav bar colour to the hover cards colour despite this being the same colour hex. Am I doing something wrong? 😛

    @DownPW the ‘js’ code for the banner takes the time from the client, so what it displays really depends on the regional settings for the operating system. I’ve not seen this issue myself but would like to see some examples of screenshots if possible.

    @phenomlab said in Social icon (Nodebb): @jac I just tested my theory around using the OG image, and according to the Twitter card validator, it works fine [image: 73e805e1-997b-41bf-9259-51c5052ca8fc-image.png] fixed

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.

    @jac said in Forum customisation: @phenomlab said in Forum customisation: @jac 100%. Just setting up some free time. I’m on annual leave from work offer the coming 2 weeks so hopefully will have a bit more time then. Not a problem Mark, I don’t wish for you to use all your spare time doing that, just do it when you can, no issues I know you’re busy doing other things but when you get a chance mate I’m happy for this to go ahead along with the RSS script.
