It just doesn't sound very professional.

 

[Nabber]

Well that's good because we're not a professional forum.

 

[Specific Neptune]

professional people don't swear, nsy

QED, we are not a professional forum

Is there a way the poll options colors could be changed?

You know, if you asked like "What do you think about blah blah blah", and you had 4 responses:

"yes, I think....."

"no, I think....."

"I don't care about......"

"What?"........


Is there a way to have them different colors instead of all red (like one red, blue, and some other colors).

You know, just to create contrast in the poll?

 

[RandomYoshi]

Well, you can use BBCode in poll options, so if you know how to normally colour text, you'll be able to colour poll-options to your liking.

Not the text, I mean, yeah you could do

But the poll would still be red (the thing coming out showing the percentage). I'm saying just to have different colors for each response.

or, do you mean, that if you enter that, the percentage thing would also turn that color?

I'll see if there's an SMF mod for that

Oh, now I get what you mean; I actually think it would be a pretty neat feature if added.

To answer your question, no it would not change anything at all in regards to the bars and such.

I can't find one

Yeah I saw it on a forum my sister's on and I thought it looked pretty sweet.

 

[User4042]

I can't find one

I can't find a mod that allows that

I don't see why it has to be a mod. I mean, it's just color changes

 

[Hobbes]

Just add color tags to the answers

Option 1

And so on. It works.

 

[Magikrazy]

And the bars will change color too?

 

[Hobbes]

Nope, that red comes from the forum's theme, afaik.

 

[New Super Mario]

Yeah this is what I'm wanting.

But if it can't be done, oh well.

Maybe the forum you saw it on was vBulletin? It can be done there

 

[Lakituthequick]

I will see the coding later today.

Do you mean that the creator can choose a color or that it changes color depending on the results?

EDIT: So I looked through the coding, and it looks like the theme this forum is using differs in coding from the standard theme. I will need this theme for proper investigation.

I'm not really sure, but yeah, that kind of thing is what I was thinking.

I was thinking: It'd be neat to have a "status" feature, like you see on Facebook. Like there is something you feel like saying, but it really doesn't merit it's own thread or post, just a little status. And other members can comment on it.

Also, a "Liking" posts feature would be nice too. That might eliminate the whole re-quoting something and not contributing to discussion without taking up space.

Isn't the Click Here Post Here thread kinda like that already?

I'm talking about in any thread and post. Not just one.
