    [Answered] Customizing moderated posts and threads?

    I would like to customize the appearance of threads and optionally posts held in the moderation queue to make them stand out a little more clearly (e.g., change the color of or bold or italicize the thread titles).

    What are the appropriate templates or portions of templates that need to be modified to do this?

    To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)

    The above will get you the template. There is probably a condition in there regarding moderated threads, just use it in the area you want to add something like a new class that you can then style in the additional.css template. I know I have posted instructions (template changes) on how to do this for moderated posts over on vbulletin.org which is the site you should post on if you need more specific help.

    Please don't PM or VM me for support - I only help out in the threads.

    If I post CSS and you don't know where it goes, throw it into the additional.css template.
