Postbit Modifications

[SemperFidelis]

Attached is a copy of my current postbit.

What I want to do is :
- get avatars to start showing up (as shown in the next post)
- remove the verticle and horizontal line (as shown in the next post)
- get online status to appear on correct line
- align 'Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged' to the bottom of post
- general cleanup of the postbit itself

Can someone please give me a hand with this ?

A) $post[avatar]

B) use css... or you can just kill the cellpadding and spacing but then thats just ;\

C) probably in the posbit_offline and postbit_online there's a '<br>' you have to remove

D) you'd probably have a make a new table to include it so you could align it to the bottom (easy i would think :P)

E) Personally im not a fan of this postbit nice colors but the buttons are dull and ugly ;p just my opinons though

F) Finally next time post this in the tempate modifiactions ;)

postbit_offline :
<div style="width:100%; filter:glow(color=red, strength=4)">
Offline !
</div>
postbit_online :
<div style="width:100%; filter:glow(color=green, strength=4)">
Online !
</div>

Here let me give it another shot :)

A) $post[avatar] doesn't work because your table isn't correct :p

find:

</table>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">

replace with:

</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">

see if that fixes that part ;)

B) thats the toughest one there is in my opinion and the best thing i can say is learn some css style sheets or just stick with having those lines there...

C) Instead of using the div tags just since the regular font tags...
(don't use glow but this should work)
<font style="filter:glow(color=red, strength=4)">

D) find this coding:

<p>$post[editedby]</p>

after it add:

</td></tr></table>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" border="0" width="100%" valign="bottom"><tr><td width="100%">

not sure if that'll work but i just put the code together now :p

E) thats good to hear ;)

ups, i should reload the page before posting :)

I had the same problem with the glowing online/offline!
I think it has to do with div. Try to make it without div, for me it works!
