Spaces between posts....

[Vladdy]

Ok, I have put spaces between my posts in threads, but the space is too big. It is simply spaced by a >br< tag. How can I make the space smaller?

Screenie for example:

[Brad]

The easyiest way:

Make a transparent image the size you want your space to be. Upload it to the /images folder.

Then replace the <br> with the html to call the image.

Just use the spacer, thats transparent.

Yup, a simple transparent gif

Ok I added this, but it creates a bigger problem....What the heck is that gray thing in the middle? I tried messing around with the info that was posted in the rest of that thread and nothing worked...

Here is a screenie...

delete the bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" from the breakup code.

So your one should look like this:

<!--added-->
<table align="center">

<td width="100" height="10" align="center"></td>

</table>
<!--/added-->

Thanks that worked!

Only thing is it looks a little weird with my table border now, I kinda liked that space when it was grey instead of the now blue, can I do something about that?

[Matrixgl]

Well, you can put this code right after <td

bgcolor="insert color here"

Replace insertcolorcodehere with a color.

Or if you want to put a background (i.e. picture, gradient...), put this right after <td

background="url of the background"

Replace url of the background with the address of the background.

Hmmmmmm, when I put the bgcolor in we go back to that centered color bar sitting there again, lol. Is there a way to stretch it out or something so that it is the length and width of the tables?

By the way, thanks for all the help! :D

[Tony G]

Can you please show a screenshot of what you have now? Kinda confusing.

Also, you'll need to use a replacement for your background color. {pagebgcolor} is the color on the outside. There's another one {tablebgcolor} possibly for the color inside the outer table. Try that.

Ok I am attaching 2 images, one with the way it is now and one with the look I want, but I want a smaller space...

[Tony G]

Then in the mod code Find:

bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}"

Change it to:

bgcolor="{tablebgcolor}"

And to adjust the space mess around with the height= number.

Also, I'm not sure if tablebgcolor is the replacement, see if it works.

[Vladdy]

Ok I will test it in a little bit and post back the results, thanks again fellas!

[Vladdy]

Then in the mod code Find:

bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}"

Change it to:

bgcolor="{tablebgcolor}"

Nope that didn't work either, that made that box appear in the space again :\

What about coding the space with CSS, is that possible? After reading up on CSS it seems like I could possibly do it that way, but I am not sure...

[Tony G]

The space is fine, you can change the height of it by changing the height=10 and mess around with that.

I'll try get the replacement for you.
