Folders/subfolders in forum PM area

Hi Jay.

I've just noticed phpbb allows folders in the user control panel for managing PMs, but it appears to be turned off on this forum?

You can go to Rules, Folders & Settings, and the ability to add a folder is there - but no Ok button or suchlike to action it - and there's no dropdowns to move folders into them once you've created them.

As an author of four plugins, I've got loads of "threads" of plugin-related PMs which I'd love to move into plugin-related subfolders for ease - any chance?

Peter

There's no add button like this:

Despite the fact that it's gray, it does work.

No, the Add button isn't there! :-s

Let me try Chrome.

Yes, IE...! :)

Just noticed that it is in fact showing in IE - but see if you can spot it...

Re: Folders/subfolders in forum PM area

I can see both the buttons. Kinda crappy color scheme though.

Once you know it's there, you can see it - but when every other button is green it is as you say strange colour scheme / styling design by phpbb.

Re: Folders/subfolders in forum PM area

I don't believe IE is rendering the color correctly (in all other browsers the gray is much darker) but it's true that those buttons really should be green. Creating styles in phpbb is just as big a nightmare as it's admin interface...
