Please don’t just say to go to the etivite forums because he abandoned them.

Hello, if you notice, on the etivite site, there is some css stuff I need help on… I am trying to get the buigger avatar, and the buigger CSS for the first post, like here, http://etivite.com/groups/buddypress/forum/topic/quick-tip-hide-activity-updates-andor-replies-by-types-for-non-logged-visitors-in-users/

I have a basic CSS made, but it does not work whatever I do!!!!
`ul#topic-post-list li.first {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF !important;
font-size: 125%;
padding-left: 35px;
}
ul#topic-post-list li.first div.post-content {
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-left: 73px;
margin-top: 15px;
}
ul#topic-post-list li.first div.admin-links {
top: 5px !important;`

Another thing, would be awesome, is you see how he has the “Started %% by %%” Latest Reply from %

How do you get that also?

(if you notice I am sort of trying to get away from the basic buddypress forums)

ul#topic-post-list li:first-child

Did not test but you need to say first-child. Unless you are adding the class .first to the html

[luvs]

no luck.. gosh seeing his forums compared to regular makes me want to cry

[modemlooper]

I just added this and it works
http://dev.go-themes.com/groups/this-is-a-group/forum/topic/long-title-yup-thats-what-i-said-this-is-a-long-title/

ul#topic-post-list li:first-child {
font-size: 150%;
}

Great. Now if I could just tackle the “Started %% by %%” Latest Reply from %

[modemlooper]

Thats custom html. You’ll have to edit theme files. No simple CSS.

@r-a-y is awesome at figuring out these hooks and hacks…. if he can figure out how to do this on the forums, I’ll donate, or anyone else who can

You shouldn’t really call out specific members in this manner – members are not here to provide a coding service

To a certain degree if you want customisations then you will by necessity need to develop your skill level to effect them, his forum may be enviable but the amount of work to achieve that will have been quite detailed – getting BP the way one wants it does actually require a fair amount of work .

Please don’t just say to go to the etivite forums because he abandoned them.

Do you know this for a fact? If not then I wouldn’t state something this emphatically – I doubt he’s abandoned his site he might just be very busy? and simply because he runs a BP site doesn’t necessarily mean he’s available or obliged to support any and all issues that are dropped in his lap

This plugin by Rich may be useful – doesn’t add that topic started/latest stamp as far as I can see but adds a few refinements that can improve forums:

1. R-a-y is a very nice and helpful person, and would love to help me I am sure on stuff, as well as other people too, thats why I asked him

2. I didn’t ask for a 20 minute class on what I shouldn’t do.

3. I have the group forum extras installed, but thats not exactly what I am looking for

[Hugo Ashmore]

Yes Ray is a very nice and helpful person but that doesn’t mean it’s correct to directly call someone to help – this is somewhat a convention and has been stated by other mods.

Yes sorry you didn’t ask for a 20 minute class but you got one nonetheless The statement about Rich was probably unnecessary

I’m sure Ray will be along to provide you the code shortly but tends not to be around till later.
