How to reduce space in postbit

[I.am]

To reduce the space between the message area and the signature space go in:

Admin CP -> Style & Templates -> Style Manager -> CSS Templates -> Postbit.css

Find:

/*post bit*/

Add under it:

.postbitlegacy .after_content {
clear:right !important;
}

Save.

Finish

[Skyrider]

Thanks! Was looking for something like this.

[ragarcia87]

Thanks a million :D This is awesome.

[woffie]

Real nice!

[MichelangeloITA]

Seems not working on my side :\

can you post your site url?

[Trumpetrhapsody]

Is there any way to get the bottom of the sig to line up with the end of the left column in legacy postbit instead of just being spaced down a bit from the last text of the post?

Either way this is way better than the HUGE gap in vb4.

[Snug]

this is awesome!!

thanks

[KissOfDeath]

this was usefull thank you, although the 1st code is wrong (probly been changed in new releases of vbulletin)

[movslow]

[Front Range]

I like the idea but couldn't get it to work on 4.0 Gold.

[Switch3130]

My members were complaining about this, thanks for posting a fix.

[GrossKopf]

Thanks for the fix! I never understood why the vb team insisted it wasn't supposed to look like this. I prefer it myself. :)

[ddaybofb]

Thanks, was looking for something like this for a while.

Hmm, I tried the code and it didn't change the spacing at all - although the initial spacing was nowhere near as large as what TheWindows7Site posted in his 'before' picture and the spacing is roughly the same as in his 'after' picture so I guess vBulletin fixed it?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/01/107.jpg

That is how it looks - with or without the fix. I was hoping to get the nil space like in 3.8 - possible? :(

[elwachiman]

nice, installed tnks

[zeroality]

I am trying to get help with this over at vbulletin.com (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?336107-spacing-between-posts-and-sigs) - it would be nice if one of you could take a look at what's been posted and help me find a solution, which would most likely benefit a lot of users. Thank you!

[Drago13]

awesome... thanks...

[The Coon]

Absolutely cool ... thanks a lot! :cool:

[zeroality]

A wonderful staff member over at vb.com solved the problem for me. It was the padding. See here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?336107-spacing-between-posts-and-sigs/page2).

[Fastbird]

Thank you, that was bugging me so bad! Works fine with vb4 PL1

[GrossKopf]

Ok, I must be crazy... I did this and fixed the problem, however I'm having another issue with a template that I think may be related to this fix, so I wanted to reverse it to see, but now I don't see postbit.css under Style Manager/Postbit Templates. What am I doing wrong?

[cloferba]

does this work with 4.0.1?

[princeedward]

[sisterhood]

You must search unter CSS -->postbit.css NOT Postbit :-)

[BBR-APBT]

That still puts a gap under the signature box on a one line reply or when the userinfo is longer then the postbody.

What I am trying to do here is.

Use the clear:right or none, To clear the space in the userinfo side. Then align the signature box at the bottom where it was before. Thus only clearing the space to the left under the userinfo.

[jeryp]

nice thanks :)

[Skyrider]

Installed once again, they haven't included this in 4.0.2, quite a shame.

[VonDoom]

Just finaly decided it was time to install this one. i figured for sure vB would have addressed this by now. Thanks Installed and Rated

[Bouncer222]

It indeed is a shame not to fix a simple bug.

[BLykMik]

This is great! Thanks... I've been looking to do this for a while now. Thanks!

[ult1lar]

Awesome! Thanks

[Merlinii]

Worked for me...:up::up:

[Miras]

4.0.2 - works perfectly
thx *click install*

[Merlinii]

I also added...

------------
additional.ccs

/* move up signature */
.postbitlegacy .after_content {
clear:none; }

------------
postbit.ccs

/*post bit*/
.postbitlegacy .after_content {
clear:right !important;
}

AND CHANGED BELOW 4em to 1em to close up the bottom-padding

.postbitlegacy .postrow.has_after_content {
padding-bottom: 1em;
}
------------
That closed it up even more.

Thank You for all your research!

[movslow]

Still works for 4.03.

No errors with 4.0.3 :)

[Fungsten]

My members like it.

[conradk]

This rocks. Thanks.

My users like to post lots of quotes and pictures in their sigs, odd-shaped avatars, etc. This and using the legacy postbit style makes a huge difference on white-space.

I'm trying to get rid of that dumb "default" document icon... Where? (duh, nevermind - - read the docs - - )
Settings > Options > Thread Display Options (showthread)

And now that I got rid of that icon, there's not enough space so I need to add a few em's... the tweaking never stops. :)

I know this is not directly related to "postbit" but the point for me is to also remove clutter...

For the Show Thread Templates = "SHOWTHREAD" I removed the fugly "largereplybutton" just commenting it out:

<div id="above_postlist" class="above_postlist">
<vb:if condition="$show['']">

//later//
I removed the lower "reply" button and added a "Reply" to the left of the "Reply with Quote" below the post, as well as a "Send PM" in place of the reply with quotes inline - as I had some users really not understand how to send personal messages.
//

I should really pull this whole code - wasted bandwidth.

I really didn't like the "Results x to y of z" because it is mis-aligned and is redundant, so I pulled this code:
{vb:rawphrase showing_results_x_to_y_of_z, {vb:raw pagenumbers.first}, {vb:raw pagenumbers.last}, {vb:raw totalposts}}

I put the thread title in the thread controls bar. Get rid of the div and h1 tags:
<div id="pagetitle" class="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:rawphrase thread}: <span class="threadtitle"><a href="{vb:raw thread_url}" title="{vb:rawphrase reload_this_page}">{vb:raw threadinfo.title}</a></span></h1>
</div>

It now looks like:
<div id="thread_controls" class="thread_controls">
<div>
{vb:rawphrase thread}: <span class="threadtitle"><a href="{vb:raw thread_url}" title="{vb:rawphrase reload_this_page}">{vb:raw threadinfo.title}</a>
<ul id="postlist_popups" class="postlist_popups popupgroup">

//later//
In FORUMDISPLAY, I went ahead and removed "Threads x of y to z" text and moved the thread page navigation down into the threadlist_controls box. This saves quite a bit of space at the top. You have to increase the size of the threadlist_controls box - but here's what the section looks like:

<vb:if condition="$show['threadslist']">
<div id="above_threadlist_controls" class="above_threadlist_controls">
<vb:if condition="$show['threadslist']">
</vb:if>
<div>{vb:raw pagenav}
<ul class="popupgroup forumdisplaypopups" id="forumdisplaypopups">

[mcyates]

Awesome mod, cheers :-)

Why can't vbulletin.com coders do simple stuff like this!!!

[ProFifaLeagues]

Superb works well on 4.03

[Bacon Butty]

Guys any chance of a before and after screenshot.

I couldn't see a difference?

[Contra Fates]

Awesome quick fix, thanks a bunch!

[wierdo124]

thanks a ton! took about a minute per theme :D

[Kyoshokid]

As the 180th installer i say thank you for this.

[bugzy]

Admin CP -> Style & Templates -> Style Manager -> CSS Templates -> Postbit.css

I dont see the "CSS Templates" in my Style Manager and Main CSS does not let me edit.

[bugzy]

I also added...

------------
additional.ccs

/* move up signature */
.postbitlegacy .after_content {
clear:none; }

------------
postbit.ccs

/*post bit*/
.postbitlegacy .after_content {
clear:right !important;

AND CHANGED BELOW 4em to 1em to close up the bottom-padding

.postbitlegacy .postrow.has_after_content {

}
------------
That closed it up even more.

Thank You for all your research!

Perfect! finally found the CSS Template, silly me

[Brandon Sheley]

great, thanks for the edits
this was driving a friend mad!

[clubplanet]

Been playing with the CSS and shouldn't all of these edits just be made in additional.css?

It is the last stylesheet loaded, so will overwrite anything before it, plus it makes it a lot easier to upgrade without having to revert a bunch of files.

And, thanks for the tweaks!

[MudRacing]

What can I do to move the sign down?

Space is not written that is now under, I would like between the message and signature ... above the signature and not below.

Thanks

Maybe I am misunderstanding your post but if you look at the signature in the second post it is snugged up on the post itself. Is that not what you are wanting? Anyway, sorry if I am mistaken.

I used this hack, but how can block the signature at the bottom of the message?

Thanks!!

[paulvev]

Oustanding! I needed this too. Works sweet on 4.0.5

[GamerPerfection]

Thanks, works fine for me. :)

[midnz]

I had to uninstall unfortunately because the postbit.css edit prevented images or tables with align="left"or align="right" from displaying without them overlapping and pushing aside any posted signature and I needed images with text wrapping to work in my posts. Tis a shame because scrolling is my enemy.

[syrn]

Demo plz ???

[puppetmaster222]

Working great, thanks. That extra blank space was huge with VBActivity running int he postbit and I was going to do the tabbed postbit mod but this took 15 seconds and cleaned it up nicely.

Anyone???

.postbitlegacy .postrow.has_after_content {
padding-bottom: 1em;

Yours will say 4em; change that to 1em and it should work for you.

This is located in the same postbit.css as you changed clear from both to none like this

.postbitlegacy .after_content {
position: relative;
width: 100%;

thanks for the vbseo fix:) working perfect between this thread and the other info here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/342724-Space-between-message-and-signature) on vB 4.1.2 & vBSEO 3.6.0

Not working

[katim110]

is this working for vb 4.1.3 ?

[sybakaos]

I've made it working in vBulletin 4.1.3 by searching for the following in postbit.css and removing the line in red:

.postbitlegacy .after_content {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
clear:both;
}


It doesn't affect advertisements if enabled or anything else as far as I can tell.

In 4.1.3 standing:


.postbitlegacy .after_content {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
clear: right;

any idea?

Mine said None instead of Both So i left it alone & changed the number in the next set of code below that..

.postbitlegacy .after_content {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
clear:none;
}

.postbitlegacy .signature, .postbitlegacy .lastedited {
margin-top: 1em;
padding: 17em {vb:stylevar padding} 0;
}

I changed the number 17 in "padding" to just 1 & it took away ALL of the gap, so you can just adjust to your liking. :)
(worked in IE9 & Google Chrome)




*edit*
Now that im thinking about it this might have taken the gap out of the sig, not the space above the sig.

[The Realist]

Fantastic worked a treat.

[raulin]

Thanks!

[ecky]

is this working for vb 4.1.3 ?

The initial instructions without any of the tweaks seem to be ok on 4.1.3 :)

Nice tip, thank you!

[Lazorbeam]

Seems to be working on 4.1.4, though I had trouble finding

/*post bit*/

because of the extra space on the end!

[yesfans]

where is this in 4.1.4????

[yesfans]

found it

[Donavaz]

I also added...

------------
additional.ccs

/* move up signature */
.postbitlegacy .after_content {
clear:none; }

------------
postbit.ccs

/*post bit*/
.postbitlegacy .after_content {
clear:right !important;
}

AND CHANGED BELOW 4em to 1em to close up the bottom-padding

.postbitlegacy .postrow.has_after_content {
padding-bottom: 1em;
}
------------
That closed it up even more.

Thank You for all your research!

VERY VER THNAKS:D

Not Working With 4.1.5 !

[sdavis2702]

Just started a new forum and I was looking for this! I used to do it on my old forums. Awesome, yet simple. Thanks!

[bp323]

thanks a million!!!

[prophetmuhammad]

i just don't understand the vB team sometimes.

[dippetas]

has anyone tested it on vb 4.1.9?

[sadiq6210]

This is not working after upgrade from 4.1.8 to 4.1.10 :(

Any update? I really need it

[thenamesgould]

Still works fine for me in 4.1.10 ...

[sadiq6210]

oh
It is my mistake
I am using RTL so I must change the code to (left) instead of (right)

Now it is working perfect (vb4.1.10)

Thanks

[Peejay]

Sorry chaps, but how did you get it working in vb4.1.10 seeing as you can't edit the Main CSS?

I'm obviously missing something obvious, but I just can't see it for looking?

Edit: Idiot status confirmed - found it finally

Style Manager > Edit Templates > CSS Templates > postbit.css

Thanks for the mod, it works perfectly.

[Alfa1]

If your signature is not at the bottom of your post then its not working.

Please vote for a fix to be included in vbulletin:

http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-14262

.

[synseal]

I have voted, just can't believe this has not yet already been included. This simple tweak makes a massive difference to the look of threads.

Man I've been looking for this mod for two weeks lol. I've posted every where to no luck. So I gave up on this and coincidentally came across it.
LOve it!!

Simple mods like this is what makes your board look and go a long way!!!
thanks

Does this work for 4.2 and are there an screen shots to show a before and after?

[S@NL - BlackBik]

Yes, it works on vB4.2
Don't have any screen-shots but basicly it does exactly what is said in the first post.

[kh99]

Didn't know this existed, but I have a couple things to add: one is that if you put the code in the additional.css template, it will stay there when you upgrade. Also, you might be able to remove more space by adding this (in additional to the code shown in the first post):

.postbitlegacy .postrow.has_after_content {
padding-bottom: 0px;
}



0px might remove a little too much, but you can increase it if you want.

Edit: oops, didn't notice that we're on page 12 of comments, this has probably been mentioned before.

[oldz442]

Went a bit further and bottom aligned 'edited by', 'signature' and the 'likebox thanks hack'. Some pics and CSS below. There is more CSS tweak stuff... margin, padding, etc.

---------------
additional.css
---------------
.top-align { vertical-align: top; }
.bottom-align { vertical-align: bottom; }
.postbitlegacy .postbody { margin: 0 !important; }

Does this work even if you're not using the Likes hack?

[oldz442]

Sure. The last <td> is just to bottom align things within it.

I just had to play around with margins/padding a bit. ie. my last edit line is still a tad bit high (~14px when it should be closer 10px bottom margin)

Can this be done without tables? I'd love to remove the space AND have the signatures align with the bottom.

I imagine if you orient/setup the divs correctly, it would be just a matter of adding a 'td' class to the bottom div along with a vertical-align:bottom. No doubt there are other ways... I just found a div/table setup easier.

[MAME]

Excellent! I've been waiting for this.
*installed*

[Harpo]

I am using the vertical postbit. will this help remove the space even if I am not using legacy? Installed anyway. :)

[cjwinternet]

I can't see that this makes any difference. Unistalled.

[f4vn]

.postbitlegacy .postrow.has_after_content {
padding-bottom: 1em;

Yours will say 4em; change that to 1em and it should work for you.

This is located in the same postbit.css as you changed clear from both to none like this

.postbitlegacy .after_content {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
clear:none;

I think this is the best way :)

[synseal]

Yes title should be changed to postbit legacy even though the code is self explanatory.

[xeenux]

Thanks so much!

[Amaury]

Is this compatible with 4.2.0?

[Amaury]

Did the necessary edits, but couldn't this just be added to additional.css?

[abumohamed]

thank you so much

[K.C.]

Tried it at one place with the 4.2 version of vbulletin but it says that the css file is obsolete and available for reference purpose only. Does anyone know a different way to do this?

[Pop's Stang]

Just did this with my 4.2 verison and it worked great!!

Admin Cp > Styles & Templates > Edit Template > CSS Templates > Postbit.CSS

Put in the code as stated. Like I said, it worked great! :up:

[DF031]

In our Syle Manager there is no option named "CSS Templates" :-(

- - solved it - -

The initial instructions in this thread are not correct. One should choose the Edit Templat option first.

It's kind of obvious you have to go to Edit Templates first.

CSS Templates.

[DF031]

Well, obviously it is not for some people :p

I have done these changes but do not see the desired effect ? Should I clean the cache, does it only work with new posts, or . . . ? What could be wrong ?

[dizzynation]

Anyone have a screenshot of the difference?

[dizzynation]

4.2 users can just add the code to additional css right?

Got it, so all other posts without signatures still stay the same? That would be neat if it cleaned up everything

[Amaury]

It affects all posts. However, if the post is a long post as it is, it'll move the signature down accordingly.

[DF031]

I am getting confused. So this mod does not reduce the standard empty space (looks like it is about 4 lines) between the message text and the signature after all ?

No, it does.

Ok, but why does the screenshot at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1943882&postcount=17 still show the standard 4 empty lines between the message text and the signature ? Seems I am missing something :o

Scroll down...

[DF031]

Thanks Armaury. I did notice the AFTER screenshot. But that still has the standard amount of empty space (about 4 lines) between message text aand signature.

Seems this mod only has an effect when the message text height is les that all the "crap" on the left.

In that case: How do I reduce the empty space that is automatically inserted between message text and signature ? Could this mod be of any help or should I look elsewhere ?

OK, I did a lot what people have recommended above, but I still have some extra space I would like to cut out. Any help would be appreciated. Here is a screenshot:

Awesome! Works great on 4.2.0!
