Thank you so much for posting this information. This really made my day. Now I can actually read the forums.
Change the "View Post" Image!
The forum downtime yesterday seems to have fixed a few quirks, including the broken "View Post" image. It's now pointing to the correct (really tiny!) arrow. Well, obviously, I am not a fan of the correct (really tiny!) arrows that they are using :P
So my fix!
Blue is original, red is modified.
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dcv379dz_0d6r8hcgn
It's the third block of code (Bigger image for "View Post" on quotes), use the top bit for the villain theme, use the bottom bit for the hero theme, or both if you switch between themes.

Whoops. Must not have updated my googledoc to reflect that. Done now and republished, thanks!|

(The reason they were broken before was because they were calling .gif, not .png. They're now correctly calling viewpost.png, which is a teeny tiny arrow.)

Is this the same skin as you can now select without doing any coding on your own from the user CP?
No. This requires Firefox and the addon "Stylish". It modifies the Hero and Villain themes.
(It may or may not work in other browsers via other browser-specific addons/utilities)

Thanks Aggelakis! Hope you don't mind, but I lifted your code for my skins. |

They not only fixed this, but they also fixed the reversed colors for the New Thread and New Reply buttons. My Zombie skins reversed them to make them look right. Then, with this fix, they were reversed on my skins. So, I took out the 'fix' on my skins and they appear correctly now on the Zombie Skins.
My skins are now updated (see link in first post) with both these changes.

If anyone knows how to make this work in Opera, I'd appreciate a PM.
I've tried setting it under site preferences but no joy.
Thanks.

EDIT: I got a negative rep comment on one of my posts in this thread:
It's fairly transparent that you are tagging these threads with that ridiculous tag.
And I'd just like to point out something: I basically don't utilize the tag system (it's useless). I didn't create the "agge is awesome" tag, nor did I tag this thread with it.
And if you wanna be a snarky d-bag, grow a pair and put your name on your negrep.

Make it WIDER!
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dcv379dz_0d6r8hcgn
The next block of code ("Changes width of forums")... um, well, changes the width of the forums! I've made it go as far from side to side as I could figure out how, setting the "page" div layer to 100%.
However, there's still some lingering space on the sides of posts that do not break the layout of the forum. I have no idea where it's coming from. :x
Posts that exceed the width of the standard post only have lingering space on the left side, somehow. The right side goes right up against the edge. (Z_M's first post with the examples, for instance.)

I hate the "Sticky: " prefix. Makes scanning titles difficulty.
So, does anyone know how to make this:
Look like this GIMPd-up image:
Of course, I plan to change the icon itself into something that's not ugly, but I know how to do that on my own.

Sadly, it's not enclosed in any markup tags (a header tag, span, whatever), so I can't find a way to manipulate it. Maybe someone with more CSS experience can figure out a way.

Blarg, it does, and it means that we can't hack it with any CSS that I know (which is admittedly small and mostly cobbled together via excessive googling and fiddling).
That's a setting in the vBulletin admin area.

It's a setting in VB's php... which is then translated into HTML/CSS when the page is rendered. At a glance, it looks like you need to change the CSS width of div.menucase and div.page; it's currently set to 90%

Menucase only includes the top little bit with USER CP, etc. I didn't mess with that cos it's not obtrusive.

div.page { width: 100% !important; }
div.page_bgr > div { padding: 0 !important; }
body { margin-left: 0 !important; margin-right: 0 !important; }
You can drop one of the lines (probably the body one) if you want to keep some amount of space... Or change them however you want.

As Agelakkis said, the Sticky: text isn't enclosed in any specific tags, so you can't easily fix it without doing something super weird (like sliding it's line to the left and cropping and so forth). Also, you wouldn't be able to add the image at all... There is already a thumbnail image on the right, but it's inside the same float:right span tag that the little image that shows something has been tagged is inside, so you can't slide it to the left (which is stupidly simple since you just need to remove the float:right). The only way to get it to work is via Greasemonkey.|

EDIT: I updated my googledoc with what I'm using ("Changes width of forums"), which includes a tiny amount of space on each side so that there's visible boxes.
EDIT2: I updated my googledoc with a nicer thumbtack image for stickies ("Changes "Sticky" image to a nicer thumbtack"). As usual, use the top block for the Hero theme and the bottom block for the Villain theme, or both if you switch between themes.

I'm already on a widescreen, and so, for me, 95% is plenty wide. Mostly so the forums are wider than the CP Bar at the very top.
And I already changed the default sticky icons, they're subtler (smaller and more match-y to the skin color) than yours, but certainly not as nice looking since they're gifs and not pngs.
What I'll do is include your options in my skins but comment them out so that a user can un-comment them to activate them and delete my alternatives if they wish.
And everyone should check out Diellan_'s new GreaseMonkey Script that does what I asked for above: It moves the Sticky Icon to in front of thread name and deletes the "SICKLY: " prefix. (typo intended). Here's that script.

Wanted to say thanks again for all the work you've put into this, Zombie. And that goes for you too, Aggelakis, Fleet, Diellan, and anyone else I might've missed.
I do have one complaint though: With the 8/12 version of the Hero Skin, the black background causes the background of the Editor to be black as well (at least in Firefox 3.5.2). That's a bit of a hassle to try and post anything. I can work around it by changing text to white, but still.
Been dabbling to see if there's an easy way to fix it, but I'm not that well-versed.

You wouldn't happen to be using the Zombie Villain Skin on a Hero Skin board, would you?
Log into the boards through http://boards.cityofheroes.com and at the bottom left of the boards choose Villain Skin. Then make sure that just the Zombie Villain Skin is active for the boards.
Or for the Hero Skin, make sure the board's selection is on Hero Skin and you have just the Zombie Hero Skin activated.

No, Aggelakis won't be updating her fix to use the correct view post image. That thing is way too tiny. And also, it doesn't work anyway because of the image I linked above - it looks awful.
