Hi All,

In vB 2.x.x there was a way to make the message text stretch over the entire cell in postbit so that the IP links would line up correctly at the bottom. I can't really figure it out in vB 3 Beta 7. I keep adding 100% height everywhere but I always end up with the same results. Exactly which tag should I be editing here? I have attached an image to better understand what I mean.

Thanks!

One of my gripes with vB3. No baseline signature or any of its equivalents! :mad: :mad:

no ones probally really spent the time to do it. i know i havent, if you want to move them, recode the postbit and use css to define the position :D

I haven't really taken the time to explore CSS fully. I use it for basic stuff such as a colour change here and there, text formatting, links etc. Never really used it for positioning.

Exactly how would I go about doing this? :D

Positioning is rather easy:

#something {font-size:16pt;
position:absolute;
top:80px; left:100px;
color:black; }

then using <div id="something">foo</div>

IIRC theres some more info about position at W3.org

See, its quite easy;)

So no takers on that HTML edit for baseline IP links or signatures eh? :D

The only problem I see with absolute positioning is when someone with a different resolution gets a different positioning on the screen. Maybe I'm wrong though

you could just put it somewhere else like the postbit

you could just put it somewhere else like the postbitYeah I was thinking of doing, except that only works with IP links and the signature still attached to the text aligned at the top. Oh well, I guess I'll have to live with it :(

BTW, many thanks to those who have put in the effort to provide the rest of us with some cool modifications. The coolest one I've seen were the simple Online/Offline mod and the Quotes mod that is used here at vBT. Good work gentlemen!
