I say the Mel talk a few pages back and thought I would throw my 2 cents in.
She clearly won't arrive early in episode 3. Just from the look of the preview it seems the NK brings the storm, there seems to be a lot of mist. I don't think it's smoke we see Drogon and Dany struggling through it. This is not something any leaker has mentioned. But it looks like the NK is going to blind them. At the end of episode two wee see the AOTD arrive, we could see something similar with Mel but instead of the WW we see the fiery hand.
In the filming leaks we saw Mel on the ground fighting we also saw the Dothraki marching and then three riders with flaming swords. Beric is the only one who can do that that we know of. So Mel probably went back and got some help. I think she will be in episode 3 late and Episode 4 as she and the hand escort survivors out of there and keep the Wights at bay till they can get on the ships to Dragonstone. She may also have brought ships. She can still see the future after all. I could see her doing some big move late in episode 3 to push back the mist which may shock the NK and also expose him.
Jaime said he wouldn't expose himself and he may use the mist for that purpose. Once he is exposed Jon and Dany can tag team him so this may be why he pulls back. Of course nothing like this may happen but I think Mel comes in big time.
Naturally Jon and Davos are not going to do anything if she pulls off a move like this. That's all I can see her doing, that or she takes off the Ruby flashes the NK in her less flattering form, blinding him and he falls off his dragon and lands on a Dragonglass spike.

Like here in the UK where the Queen is the head of state but other than to advise the PM, she has no active political role. Technically she still has to sign every piece of legislation going through Parliament and hypothetically she could refuse to sign it, but she wouldn't. Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking of. I have imagined that Dany, assuming she will find she is pregnant, will have realized the real dream she had was not for the Iron Throne but for family, which is really what the Iron Throne has represented to her from the beginning. This groundwork is all being laid with her experiences in Winterfell with the Starks/North. I see her and Jon going back to Dragonstone (or even travelling to Essos to get a nice tan) to build their family.

I think there will be a ruler of some point, even if it is only like the Queen. There's foreshadowing of someone having to fill in Jamie's actions as LC of the Kingsguard, and I think that will be Brienne who does that. This would make her LC of the Kings/Queensguard.

Welcome to the help dialog for the Custom Mini-Profile Creator plugin!
Click on any of the tabs above to go through the plugin configuration process!
You can access this menu at any time by clicking on the
icon in the bottom right bar (may not be applicable if you're on Forums.net), or you can disable the welcome window and/or the icon by going to
Plugins > Manage > Custom Mini-Profile Creator and changing the
Show Help option.
This step is essential as it gives the plugin everything it needs on the page to get as much profile information as possible.
To make the profile variables work you'll need to add a new line to the very end of
Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile and paste the code below on it. The code should be placed completely outside of the mini-profile, so if you're using the default mini-profile template this will be after the very last closing
</div> tag.
This needs to be done on every theme you have the plugin enabled on as the template is theme-specific.
If your mini-profile template is already customized and you've hit the variable limit for your template you're free to remove any lines from the code below if they contain information that you don't plan on using. For example, if you have no plans to ever add a user's IP to their mini-profile for staff reference you can remove
<div class="mp-info ip">$[user.ip]</div> from the code and everything else will still work just fine.
Click to show example
Once you've added the HTML from the Layout Templates tab you're ready to move on to building your mini-profiles. If you want to get going and try some out now or you're not very adept at HTML, CSS, or Javascript, worry not! This plugin includes some examples for you to try out. You're free to skip to the Custom Profile Fields tab and read over this tab later when you're ready to build your own.
Here's a quick rundown of each of the components in Plugins > Manage > Custom Mini-Profile Creator:
Name
This is the name you'll be adding to your custom profile field dropdown once you've finished coding the mini-profile. Pretty self-explanatory. Make sure this name is unique from every other name you use for your mini-profiles or you'll end up overwriting the earlier ones in the list.
HTML
This is the HTML that will go inside your mini-profile. You can use just about any HTML tag here so long as it's appropriate for where the mini-profile is showing on the page. Please refrain from using <style> or <script> tags here. You have the next two sections for that! Also, remember that mini-profiles can show multiple times on the same page, so you shouldn't add ID attributes to any of your elements here. Two elements on the same page cannot have the same ID per HTML standards.
CSS
This is where you'll place what would normally go in your forum's style sheet or what would normally be between <style> tags. Try to code your mini-profile's HTML in a way that will allow you to target it specifically with your selectors. For example, you can surround all of the content in your HTML with a <div> element with a class and target that class and its child elements specifically with your CSS. That way you don't accidentally target every mini-profile on the page with CSS that was meant for the one you're building. One more thing: The forum theme's CSS still applies beforehand, so your mini-profile may look right in one theme but not in another. The best way to circumvent this is to define as many styles as you can to override the theme's CSS.
Javascript
Anything that normally goes between <script> tags will go here. This one's a bit tricky since you'll obviously want to target the custom mini-profile specifically. Luckily there's an easy way to do that. In your statements you can use the $(this) variable to target the mini-profile if you're coding using jQuery. Otherwise, if you only plan on using standard Javascript you can target $(this)[0] instead.
Once you've finished building your mini-profiles it's finally time to add them to the Edit Profile page for use! To enable selection of custom mini-profiles you'll first need to add two specific custom profile fields in
Members > Custom Profile Fields in your forum's admin area:
- Mini-Profile Theme
- Staff Mini-Profile Theme
Mini-Profile Theme is for mini-profiles that are designed for member use. You can set the Who Can Edit option for this field to
Staff With Power if you only want staff to be able to choose mini-profiles for users. Otherwise, if you want members to freely be able to choose their own mini-profiles you can choose
Members and Staff With Power.
Staff Mini-Profile Theme is for mini-profiles designed specifically for staff use. This field is completely optional.
Set the type for both of these fields as
Drop Down Selection. Click on the
(View/Edit) link to add mini-profile names to each of these fields.
If you've just installed this plugin you should have three different mini-profiles already installed by default:
Example 1,
Example 2, and
Example 3. You can add these to your dropdowns to test them out and see the plugin in action.
Click to show example
If you're having trouble getting this plugin to work despite following the instructions in the previous tabs you may want to check that each of your themes meets the prerequisites below in
Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile.
First, ensure that opening tag of your mini-profile template includes the
$[miniprofile_class] variable in its class. On the default ProBoards theme it should look something like this:
<div class="$[miniprofile_class]">
Next, make sure that the default
{foreach} loop for custom fields is present inside your mini-profile. It doesn't need to be visible, so you're free to add it inside a hidden element if you don't plan on displaying it or if it would mess up the appearance of your own custom template.
{foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}
<br /><span class="$[user.mini_custom_field.content_class]">$[user.mini_custom_field.name]: $[user.mini_custom_field.value]</span>
{/foreach}
Beyond that you can do whatever you like to the mini-profile template for the most part and it shouldn't negatively impact the plugin.
The following is a list of available variables for use in the HTML section of the mini-profile creator and their definitions. Adding any of these to a mini-profile will generate the content described in its definition in place of the variable so long as the information that variable outputs is visible to you.
To reference your forum's custom profile fields you can use
$[user.customfieldname], substituting "customfieldname" with your custom field's name. You'll need to type the name in all lowercase with no spaces and only use characters A-Z and 0-9.
For example,
Mini-Profile Theme becomes
$[user.miniprofiletheme]. This will output the value of the custom field. In the case of this example, it'll be the name of the mini-profile theme you've chosen in your profile.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These will only work if you followed the steps in the Installation tab of this window on each of your themes. Any themes that do not include the template code specified there will not have these variables replaced in the mini-profile.

You can utilize the
$(this) variable in the Javascript component to target the mini-profile
<div> element. For example, if you wanted to add a class to the mini-profile you can use:
$(this).addClass('class-name-here');
Profile variables can also be used in the Javascript component in this plugin. In Javascript the value
undefined is used to signify that a value doesn't exist for the variable you've specified. With this in mind you can use profile variables in Javascript conditional statements within the plugin similar to how they're used in the actual layout templates section of the admin area.
- if(variable) will only run if the variable you specify has a value.
- if(!variable) will only run if the variable you specify has no value.
Example 1 (variable has value):
if(user.group){
$(this).find('.group').show();
}
If the user has their group displayed in their profile the above Javascript would make the HTML below visible if you had it hidden with CSS.
<div class="group">$[user.group.name]<br />$[user.group.stars]</div>
Example 2 (variable has no value):
if(!user.gender){
$(this).find('.gender').hide();
}
If the user's gender isn't visible the above Javascript would hide the gender icon generated by the HTML with the "gender" class below.
<div class="gender">$[user.gender.image]</div>
