Use vBulletin replacement variables :)

Example:
<table>
<tr>
<td style="filter:glow(color=orange, strength=3,400)">
<smallfont>Online!</smallfont>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

with the current format if I have it say Status: $onlinestatus, it makes it so that "Online!" is on the next line and doesn't align up. This is because online is within a table on that template I'm guessing. Anyway to keep it on the same line as Status?

Make sure you do not have a <br> in the postbit_online or postbit_offline template(s), they only thing you should have there is what is in the template tutorial above (in the first post).

there's no page break. I think it's because the glowing is within a table. Anyway to make it glow w/o having the script within a table?

Just use<font style="filter:glow(color=orange, strength=3,400)">Online!</font>instead of <table>
<tr>
<td style="filter:glow(color=orange, strength=3,400)">
Online!
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Now, that entire template should just be<font style="filter:glow(color=orange, strength=3,400)"><smallfont>Online!</smallfont></font>

I know this works, because that's what I'm using at my boards for one of my styles.

Just a hint, that on our boards we have many different schemes, and as you can imagine Orange doesn't fit with all of them. So just replace:

<td style="filter:glow(color=orange, strength=3,400)">

with

<td style="filter:glow(color={glowcolor}, strength=3,400)">

Then simply add a replacement for each scheme changing {glowcolor} too whatever color you want.

Well, I was keeping with the original. SD had already said that you can replace "Orange" with whatever you want. :rolleyes:
