Thanks for the offer however donations do not drive my development; comments on the thread and the clear illustration that people are working to extend the offering of the mod are what I look for and updates [other than bug fixes] are released in batches so that people don't have to upgrade frequently. The next planned update will likely be an extensive update this summer as I mentioned a few posts back.

That the thumbs up and down -- the {vb:raw helpful_answers} .. by default comes BEFORE the subject line.. and puts an awkward space between it and subject line.

Yes it does. It's placed in a DIV that shows up before the subjectline.

Is there anyway I can get it to be 'inline' on the same line as the subject, so the subject looks normal? It makes the alignment of the listings look odd.. Is this normal behavior to push the subject line/header down?

It's a separate div but with css you can place it however you like... float it, pad it, color it, etc.

Is there any logical reason why it can't be on the same line? There is more than enough space that is never occupied on the right hand side.

There's just about nothing that you can't do logically, however logic and easy [to install / avoid conflicts from] are different. The subject is an existing core part of the site and while it may be shorter most of the time, that's really about browser types, subject lengths, prefixes and resolution. I try to keep mods more universal... improving upon the base to fit your style better is a great idea. Very logical, very possible, but not ideal for a universal default.

I also used the guide to place it below the signature, but while it works.. it have a space between it and the bottom of the post box.. (between it and the bar with the options to edit, quote, reply, multiquote and so on) -- AND it randomly will leave 2 to 4 single spaces between it and this option bar.

It's not random, it's a function of stacking spacing in the post, the height of the area, other elements that all combine to appear as more or less padding.

Maybe I need to modify the php, or some other code a bit to allow it to be inline with something?

CSS, not PHP but yes, it's something you can and should customize to meet your exact needs.

If you aren't familiar with CSS I can help with this to a degree but vBulletin makes customizing styles painful. In short if you want two elements on the same line the easiest way is to "float" both of them, one to the left and one to the right. This is done with the attribute float:left; float:right. Let me know if that sounds greek or gets you started.

I will, as I said, donate for the option people are requesting and even to have this working properly.

Again, please be clear on the difference between working properly and working how you want. I don't disagree with your request but your comment implies that there is a bug which other users will read and take as it. The truth is that you would like functionality and while perfectly reasonable to ask, it's very different than "not working properly".
