Making postbit_legacy same width despite username

A user just signed up on my board and made a post and I notice that their postbit is wider than mine since my name is shorter.

What/where do I need to change to make that section of the postbit a constant size but in some way that will look good on any size monitor.

I'm sure someone has had this problem before. See how the two columns are the same width. I want to set their width so they are always the same no matter what the username.

It's like that in our forum and no one ever thought it was a problem. But I guess you could reduce the user name font size if the name is over a certain number of characters, or rearrange things like on this forum.

I have the user names limited, but I can't seem to find where that table is created. Ive checked all through the postbit_legacy and can't find which one that specifically is.

it just needs some kind of size adjustment somewhere.

I think it's the table row that starts like this:

Code:

<tr valign="top">

        <td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">



                        <div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">

                                <if condition="$show['profile']">

                                <a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>

                                <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>

                                <else />

                                $post[musername]

                                </if>

                        </div>

but I'm not an HTML expert, I don't know why the width=175 doesn't limit it (I guess that's why you're asking so I should let someone who knows answer).

ya that was it I guess. I was darn sure I tried that.

Setting it to a percentage value has corrected it for now.

I increased my width there to "200" to accommodate most long usernames. No one complained.

You might want to try adding style="max-width:200px; overflow:hidden;" to the <td> tag, not sure if it will work but if it does it will force the max width of the cell to 200 pixels.
