Postbit Userinfo Backgrounds?

[dmjof]

Ok, to the left of this post < where it show's all the user stats like posts and it shows the username, how do I put a background there like Yaxay.com has but it will expand the height and still look normal when there is a long post or a short one or whatever?

Are you talking about how they have that thinner bar on the left that looks like it goes under the user info? Without trying it out, my guess would be to make two tables, one with the avatar and userinfo in it, then one that has the thinner stripe part (I assume that's just a 1 pixel high graphic) as it's background.

Then I would set the first table to a fixed height, but make the second height=100% so it fills the gap between the userinfo and the bottom of the post no matter how big it is.

That's how I would go about it if I wanted to do that, but there's a good chance that's not the correct way ;)

Curious question about 'ripping' - say I figure out how to do this and post it here, saying of course that the idea was yaxay's - is that considered stealing it? I'm just wondering about it in theory because I've never been sure where the line is there. :)

Actually, I used only one table and used:

<table style="border: 1px solid#000000;">

Much easier, less HTML coding to deal with :).
