    });
    
    $(window).on('action:posts.loaded', function (data) {
        threaded();
    });
    

    @DownPW I changed your CSS as it was lacking the actual .threaded class which is the target we add and remove

    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline [component="topic/event"].timeline-event, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline [component="topic/necro-post"].timeline-event.threaded {
        background: transparent !important;
        margin-bottom: 10px !important;
    }
    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .threaded:last-child .timeline-event:last-child,
    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .threaded:last-child>[component="post/placeholder"]:last-child,
    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .threaded:last-child>[component=post]:last-child {
        margin-left: 0.5rem !important;
    }
    

    Seems to work, but can you confirm?

  • nope

    Sorry I was on my way back from work @phenomlab

    So in fact I’m already going to try adding .threaded to the CSS code.

    When I activate Thread mode, everything is OK however when I deactivate Thread mode, certain classes remain and are not deleted

    For example here, without Thread mode, the background is not returned to vanilla and the same thing for the border-radius :

    @DownPW For clarity, I didn’t change all of the classes - only the two you posted last

    Threading off

    Threading on

  • yep but these 2 class have problem, on your screens, with Threading Off, background color use –bs-body-navbar and not –bs-body-bg.
    And if you seen topi event is not transparent like vanilla

    @DownPW That should make no difference?

    Just remove it from the class

    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .timeline-event, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline > [component="post/placeholder"], .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline > [component=post] {
        border-left: none;
        transition: transform 0.3s ease !important;
        background: var(--bs-body-bg);
        /* background: var(--bs-body-navbar); */
        border-radius: var(--bs-border-radius);
    }

    Vanilla is like this:

    It is for me

  • nope for me

    image.png

  • no return to vanilla background

    blink2.gif

    vanilla: bs-body-bg
    thread ON: bs-body-navbar

  • no return to vanilla background

    blink2.gif

    vanilla: bs-body-bg
    thread ON: bs-body-navbar

    @DownPW Because your CSS has not been altered dude.

    Try now. It works for me?

  • I have not the same result :

    image.png

    I have bs-body-bg with thread ON

  • I have not the same result :

    image.png

    I have bs-body-bg with thread ON

    @DownPW Isn’t that correct, or do you want --bs-body-navbar ?

  • no return to vanilla background

    vanilla: bs-body-bg
    thread ON: bs-body-navbar

    @DownPW said in Threading support for NodeBB:

  • @DownPW said in Threading support for NodeBB:

    @DownPW Right. Hold on.

  • or maybe for each modification this must be specified twice ?

    THREAD OFF

    /* Start of threaded CSS rules */
    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .timeline-event,
    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline > [component="post/placeholder"],

      /* background: var(--bs-body-navbar); */
      border-radius: var(--bs-border-radius);
    }
    

    THREAD ON

    /* Start of threaded CSS rules */
    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .timeline-event,
    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline > [component="post/placeholder"],

    @DownPW Try now.

  • 🙂

    One or 2 classes are missing in Thread ON mode but this is the logic I want.

    What have you done that I can understand and modify?

    @DownPW Good…

        background: var(--bs-body-navbar) !important;
    }
    

    Modified

      .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .timeline-event,

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base. Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information. Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.
