Vb3 Signature Style For Vb4 "UPDATED" To Work With VB4.1.9
Please Mark As Installed And Give A Good Rating If You Like
Thanks.

As most of us know the huge gap between the content and the signature in our threads/posts can be annoying and ugly.
Well hear is a simple solution and should work for all versions of Vb4.
Remember i said should above.
Brought to you by Teen Forums.

This has been tested and works for the latest version of VB4.1.9 using IE8 and FF3. Im sorry if this doesn't work with other browsers...but there's no reason why it shouldn't work.
But i would love to hear hopefully good feedback saying this does work with other browsers :erm:

And finally i am back using VB4 as i converted back to VB3 after whipping up this Mini Mod and fled.

Whats New In This Update
1st off, i had to change this to a Beta as im not %100 confident that this Mod will work on the many different VB4 styles around the net. But PLEASE post in (fingers crossed) that this works for you.

Ok so, whats new is, you can now set your signature to any height, high/low to suit your needs/boards by just editing the margin-top: in px.

Whats Fixed
Big gaps that some members were still reporting.
A scroll-bar appearing in a post after using emoticon on its own line.
Codes not conflicting with other codes. (Beta)

What I Haven't Fixed Yet
The line width above the Signature (Sorry Guys).

Installations In Detail
1. Go to you AdminCp>>Styles & Templates>>Style Manager and, from the drop down menu chose "Edit Templates".
Scroll down to: CSS Templates and double click.
Find postbit.css and double click.

2. In your postbit.css template...
Find:

/*signature */
.signature {
        padding-top: 1em;
	border-top: {vb:stylevar signature_border};
        margin-top: 2em;
}

And remove it.
Click Save.

3. While still in CSS Templates section, scroll back up to your additional.css template and double click.

4. In your additional.css template...
Add this code:

.postbitlegacy .after_content {
clear:none !important;
margin-top:-60px !important;
}

.signature {
border-top: {vb:stylevar signature_border};
}

Click Save.

Now as you can see in the above code in RED -60px.
Change how High or Low you would like your Signature.

If your Signature is to High in your threads/posts, you would simply change -60px to say -30px.
If you would like to have your Signature back to normal, you would remove the "-" and set to "0px" so then it would look like normal Vbulletin Default.

If you want your Signature Very low you would set to 20px.
Ie:
-30px is Up.
30px is Down.

I will leave the old Text Document for you to download if need be.
I have uploaded a new Text Document for VB4.1.9, download for safe keeping.

Feel free To check out The: DEMO

I really hope this is MUCH better than the old Mod. And please let me know if everything works ok for you all so i can remove from beta, Thanks.
Cheers.

Working fine on 4.1.2. Thanks!

is there any way to change the width (to a specified pixel or percentage) instead of having it span the entire post?

Not on my 4.1.2 maybe its the skin causing it.

[Gamelobby]

It does seem to work a little..

It closes the gap a little on some skins & not so much on others. But my main issue is the gap INSIDE the sig, not the gap above the sig area.
My sig area has a gap above the "sig" image, but still below the sig area line.
I've attached an image to show what i mean.. (i made the sig line really big)



Any thoughts on that.?

I've got better news. It works on 4.1.10 Alpha 2 and Alpha 3

I suspect it will easily work on the final build :up:

awesome, thanks for the feedback. so far so good.

It's really what I was looking for, I was scared I'd have to do it myself. Anyway, the only thing that still isn't to my liking is the leftover top border. What I'd like is for it to be around 80% of total width and centered. I tried removing the top border from additional css and adding styled HR in Legacy template, but it didn't work, the HR wasn't displayed >.<

Working fine on 4.1.11 in Google Chrome.

Added my own max-height in there... hate wall of text signatures

Thanks for the code!
