Thanks for your time mashby...

But the images are still not good, same as before...

Edit:

I also used dreamweaver a couple of times to see what causes the images not to fit with the post size... But couldn't find it.. :(

Edited more:

Oops forgot to put up my updated version of the postbit... :/
Here it is... sorry for the trouble.. :/

Additional info:
(Don't know if it's useful for you)
Main Table Width: 75%
Content Table Width: 75%

When I put them both at 100% everything shows up fine... Though I dislike the layout then... :/

If memory serves, I think SaintDog recommended making the entire forum a fixed. Sounds like that's what you need to do.

Any links/info to that?

Read all of this thread [link].

Okay I will thanks for all the help you gave me already mashby :)

Uhm...

This is just the link to the tutorial about how to make bg images on your main forum index. I already did that.

The current & only option I have now is to run this forum at
Main Table Width: 100%
Content Table Width: 100%
In order to make those bg images in the postbit show & fit correctly.

Though it's all at a maximised size now (the whole forum).

I rather see it at 75% width, looks so much nicer.

Also coming back to the link you referred me to, I used Method 1, so it only appears on categories.

Idea:

Maybe if I added colspan=6 to those postbit images part, would that work?

In any case, almost 3 AM here, and I'm off to bed now. I'll read your responses in the morning. Good night.

When fixed width was mentioned, fixed width would be in pixels, not percentages, vBulletinTemplates is set at 750.

nm got my problem fixed.

Wasn't that hard. :)

I just changed the size instead of 100% to 720px and now it works.

Any case thanks for all the help.


@ Saintdog: Sorry I saw your reply a bit late. In any case I tested it with different resolutions, it seems that 720 pixels works best for me for users from 800x600+ (I'm using 1280x1024 myself).

Again thanks for everyone who helped me with this.

i have bmx 6days a week so i am really busy!

thx Nai, i have been looking for that!

I'm getting a weird space under the middle cell of the bottom category image. It's like it's filling in extra space (with my categorybackcolor or tableheadbgcolor I'm not sure).

I added table borders so you could see where the cells are.

You can see that extra dark purple region under the gradient image.

Can anyone help? Thanks :)

Hmmm. Are the images the same height? The right and left graphics appear to have a black base and the middle a purple, which leads me to perhaps the two images are different sizes, or the <td align="foo"> aren't the same. Just a thought.

The are the same size - I made one big rectangle and then just cropped it into three pieces. And the images above the post are just mirrors of the bottom, and they work fine. This is actually the third set of graphics I've made, and it has happened with all three.

Something weird I noticed is that if I remove all the buttons, or if I add them as images only (removing the a href from each of them) it works fine. As soon as I add an a href I get that extra space. I thought it might be a cellpadding issue, but I've tried setting them all to 0 and that doesnt work.

The buttons are the same height as the background image as well.

:)

Can someone show a snapshot come on!

Ummm, Tim? Did you read the thread? Nai clearly explains what this template mod does and how to see what it does in the very first post. :confused:

Check your tables. I looked at your code and there's some weirdness going on. I think you have some cells missing and closed tags missing.

Thanks - I'll go over it :)

Thanks I finally got it to work after a long trial and error process. This is one of my favorite template hack :)

Wow! Thanks. I just added it to my vB. I took out the bottom table though. Don't need it. :)

awesome job nai and mist!!!!!!

This mod is making the posts stretch... I dont see why, because i have set the width of the images to the same size as my forums fixed width.... also i dont want to use three images... so im just using 2 images- one for the top and one for the bottom.. this error is strange to me because its seems that everything in my template is set right. my postbit has never been modified besides the "break up post" mod... any ideas on why this happening? Any responce is appreciated. thnx

Very nice! I'll be installing this.

how would u go ahead to do this for the categories on the forum home?

Can someone please post the code for that. Thanks.

Hey this looks great, thanks a lot! This is what I have been looking for. Now if only I could figure out how to do this on the forum display page, and even the home page, it keeps mucking up on me :(

artfag: im gonna show you how to display it in the forumdisplay,soon after my server is back :)

Hi there. I know its an old post and this is a probably silly question. Is there anyway to use this hack without having a space between the posts? Or can i changed it in any way so that the space doesnt show?

Thanx in advace
