Stop laughing at the back!
Yes I am still on
Version: 3.1.4
Build: 357
My wordpress version is 2.6.3
And very happy with my forum and 600 odd posts I am too. But the time has come to upgrade.
Whats the best path? wordpress first, forums after? any particular order? I know that I will have to rewrite the midnight css that I currently use.
Advice please?

first, make a good backup of your db… then grab 4.2 (yes, its RC 1, but will release by this weekend barring and catastrophes)…
remove the current simple-forum directory and all its contents before uploading the new one…
then, try to upgrade…
now, a few folks have had trouble upgrading from far back, it works for most… hence the reason for the db backup… if it fails, we will get you 4.0 and go there first…
please keep us abreast of the progress…
Ok,
I eventually got round to it.
It Just works :)
Thanks guys. When I update the skin to match Ill send it in.
:)
Happy with the update,
I manually updated the midnight skin with my old changes. Its pretty much where I was before with it.
A couple of css issues, both of which can be seen on this page
http://www.spondonoffroad.co.u…..o-footage/
My entry for <div class="sfsignaturestrip">
Is getting overridden by a colour in sf-framework.css
The forum stats are in black and I cant find a setting in midnight css to change them
<span class="sfstatsmaxdata">47</span>
This is one of the span classes i want to alter. I suppose Im really looking for a clue for a line number to alter or to add to midnight.css
I thought that layout would be controlled by framework and colours by midnight? Have I got a misunderstanding of the styling system?
Thanks for the help and excellent plugin guys.

There are quite a few classes/styles that may be defined in code but are not in the skin stylesheet. These tend to be those that we feel most people will not want to change that much but gives them the freedom to change without having to touch the code itself.
So – for signatures – take a look at the entry:
#sforum .sfposttable .sfsignaturestrip p, #sforum .sfposttable .sfsignaturestrip a, #sforum .sfposttable .sfsignaturestrip img
This has a colour of #333333 so you may want to change this. #FFFFFF would gove you white text for example.
But for the stats, the entries do not exist so you will want to add them. Define (in the stats area of the css):
sfstatsheader, sfstatsdata, sfstatsonline, sfstatscounts, sfstatstitle, sfstatsgroups, sfstatsforums, sfstatstopics, sfstatsposts, sfstatsmembers, sfstatstop, sfstatsfooter {
color: #FFFFFF;
}Although change the coloue for your choice. ~or break them up to give different areas different colours.
I would also look into renaming your skin to a custom name to preserve it from future updates.
