the erase thing sounds like a javascript conflict with another plugin…  you could post your list of them here and we can see if any look familiar for known problems…  best way is to disable your plugins and see if it works…  if it does, then start reneabling them one at a time until it stops working… then we know the conflict.

so i deactivated all my plug ins, but still don't have the option to erase any PM's!  Is it maybe because my forum is so small and it can't display the buttons… here's a link to the forum…

the primary issue here is that you have created your own silverbulleticon set… however, you only created a handful of them…  you need to create all the icons… 

in this case, you are missing

http://neu.mv-lehrte.de/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/icons/silverbulleticons/pmdelete.png

without that image, you dont have an icon…  without the icon you dont have the delete button to click on and delete js to run…

so i switched over to buttons-de_lite, but still dont have the appropriate buttons.  anthor question, is it possible to set the pm message as a pupup window like the help info, or like if you click on somebodies profile!  I think i have the problem because mys forum is so small (narrow) my pm's also get displayed so narrow, in otherwords i have a 20 word pm that gets displayed in a way that every word is under each other….

Not yet. I am looking into the best way of altering PM messaging display for people with narrow columns but at the end of the day the forum will always be best served using a wider format.

as to your icon issue… take a look at any of the icons that come packaged with simple:press forum…  any additional icon set you create/use should have a corresponding image file…  I suspect the two icon sets you have tried were from the 2.x series of the plugin and have not been updated to be compatible with 3.x…  PMs were added then so that would explain why they are missing…

i found a problem with the “do the math” question.  if I log myself out and reply to a post, the “do the math” questions is white on black.  but if I add a new topic, the “do the math” question is black on black.  why is that…

very interesting…  there is indeed a diff css class used for guests and registered members requiring math… was not aware of that…

The css causing you the issue is:

#sforum, #sforum div, #sforum p, #sforum h1, #sforum h2, #sforum h3, #sforum h4, #sforum small, #sforum span, #sforum a, #sforum a:link, #sforum a:active, #sforum a:visited, #sforum a:hover, #sforum img {
background-color:transparent;
border-style:none;
color:#000000;
margin:0pt;
padding:0pt;
text-align:left;
text-decoration:none;
}

in the sf-framework.css file in the main simple-forum plugin directory…  I would not recommend changing that file since it will get overwritten during any spf upgrades.

Instead, I would add a new class directive to your black2.css and see if that helps:

#sforum span { color: #ffffff !important; }

be advised, this may cause issues with something else, so you may end up having to tweak several settings…

actually, I misspoke in the last post…  the css difference is actually for replies to topics vs adding new topics…  they should use the same css…  I will get that fixed in the next release which, hopefully, should be around the end of the month…  you might find it easier to wait for the release or make a quick change to the core code… 

If you want the code change, please PM me and I will detail it to you… it is a one line change…
