There seems to be some issues with the discussion overview plugin. You should check it out. There is a huge gap under the category name and the discussions.
There is also a problem when viewing member profiles.

Fixed by changing #Discussions float from "none" to "left" and adding a spacer to discussions.php to clear the .PageList

And I don't see anything wrong with it, could you show me a screenshot for your site?
Im running it at a rather high resolution so you might not be able to see it as clear. It looks kinda squished into the side. Just thought i would mention it while i was leaving a comment you see.
And thanks for fixing my number one problem.
Great theme. Only thing I'm missing is a little colour. The default theme does a great job of managing a lot of content on a page and making it visually easily digestible. I'm running a blog as a front page of one of my forums, and with that in mind, this works really well, but the discussion page feels like a lot of undifferentiated rows of text. That's not a strong criticism, just some feedback. Good work, and it's great to have an alternative theme for one of my forum's that I'm actually going to use...
Ah. Just figured it out. I think the niggling thing for me is that links aren't differentiated until rollover - or at least there's an inconsistency between links in the discussion list (underlined) and links on the sidepanel (nada, except for the rollover effect).
@jsamlarose "Only thing I'm missing is a little colour" Well, the main 2 colors I used is just black and white. However, changing a:hover color or .ContentInfo h1 color to whatever you want should take care of that "little colour" you're missing.
A new theme (Grace) should be out be out soon with more calming and soft colors, thank you very much for the feedback.
I changed all the to in the default.php. In the footer.php file, I added a after the: <p class="Vanilla"><a href="http://www.getvanilla.com" title="Get vanilla!">Vanilla Powered</a>
In the default.php, I changed: // some space
//$Panel->AddString('<br/><br/><br/>', 100); /*jimw - replace with h2 below*/
to
$Panel->AddString('<h2>Albums</h2><div id="AlbumList">',100); /*jimw*/
and added the following after the "foreach" code: $Panel->AddString('</div>',100); /*jimw*/
Thanks jimw, I've been trying to upload a new source file for 2 days with some CSS fixes and the missing "</p>" in the foot.php file but guess what?
I'm having trouble with it again (I'm using 7-zip) and i get this:
"You are not allowed to upload (Blogger.zip) the requested file type: application/force-download"
Any idea?! :)
I've also had this problem with both 7-zip and WinRAR. I guess something's changed in either the newer versions of these utilities and/or the config of the addons site. Sure is annoying though.
<assumption>Have you tried creating a ZIP file using the built in Windows zip creation?</assumption>
I found a few more things I updated in the vanilla.css file for the "update checking" facility in Vanilla. There is an image that is used to show it is checking and then the add-on info is colored if okay or not. Here it is: /* Update Check form */
/* remove jimw for new Update stuff in Vanilla 1.1.2
#Form.UpdateCheck p.Description {
padding: 0px !important;
margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px !important;
}
*/
/* Update Check form add jimw for Vanilla 1.1.2 */
.UpdateOld .Name,
.UpdateGood .Name,
.UpdateUnknown .Name,
.UpdateChecking .Name {
padding: 0px 0px 4px 23px !important;
}
.UpdateOld .Details,
.UpdateGood .Details,
.UpdateUnknown .Details,
.UpdateChecking .Details {
font-weight: normal;
}
.UpdateOld,
.UpdateUnknown {
background: #FFFFCC;
}
.UpdateGood {
background: #FFFB97;
}
.UpdateChecking {
background: #FFFEEC;
}
.UpdateOld .Name {
background: url(ico.alert.gif) no-repeat top left;
}
.UpdateGood .Name {
background: url(ico.check.gif) no-repeat top left;
}
.UpdateUnknown .Name {
background: url(ico.unknown.gif) no-repeat top left;
}
.UpdateChecking .Name {
background: url(progress.gif) no-repeat center left;
}
I found a conflict with the date display and the CategoryIcons add-on. I have a fix for it in the CategoryIcons style.css file:
#Discussions li ul{
padding-left:2px; /*was 65 and moved from below where it was included with the Category items*/
/*jimw was 15 - changed for Blogger theme*/
}
/*Image overlap fix*/
#Discussions li li {
height:20px; /*jimw was 40 - changed for Blogger theme*/
}
/**********************/
.Discussion{
position:relative;
}
.DiscussionCategory {
/*width:60px !important;*/ /*jimw - removed for Blogger theme*/
/*height:60px !important;*/ /*jimw - removed for Blogger theme*/
/*padding:0; margin:0;*/ /*jimw - removed for Blogger theme*/
text-indent:-9999px; /*moves the Category name off the page*/
position:absolute; top:4px; right:2px; /*change to right if you want the image to the right*/
}

Yep, and it didn't work either!
