With the forum upgrade to vb3.5, I finally also got to upgrade the forum to the latest version of the activity mod, which I have added a lot of functionality to since the vb3.0 version. Among the new features is an adjustable "midnight". The activity cycle for a day now ends at 09:00GMT, which corresponds to 01:00PST, or 04:00EST. This should be generally more inline with our members' schedules than the previous 19:00EST. So now, "activity today" shows posts made between 04:00EST and now.
The only thing I don't like about the change, is the big light grey box around the Quick Reply and Quick Edit. I don't know how it looks on t'other skins, but on Synthesis: Lava Ashes it looks out of place.
It should be the same width. Yes, you never had activity bars, but that was because I never got arround to making activity bars for those styles. With vb3.5, I already had activity bars ready to go.
