User info collapsable table on left side of postbit_legacy

******* User info collapse on postbit_legacy v.9 **********


I had a number of users complaining about how much "white space" there was on posts where the person had only entered 1 line of text because of the size of the user information below the username on the left hand side.

This hack puts the user information (online/offline status, location, post count, join date, etc) in the postbit_legacy template (only works if you are using the legacy postbit) into a collapsable table like many of the other collapsable tables in vB3. Users can collapse/expand this information at will while viewing a thread and the status is saved in the cookie.

This is the very first javascript code I've ever written so go easy on me .

Please click on install if you use this hack!

I sent a pm to you, Steven, asking for permission to port this over to 3.5

Please respond when you have a chance

Thanks ;D I got a few questions tho...
how does this works? I mean, once u click on the arrow, it stays collapsed till?? I mean, each time the user logs out he has to re-collapse it? or every time he goes to the forum?
Is there a way to keep by default, the user info collapsed? n_n

It sets a cookie on the users PC for the setting. They will stay collapsed until they either uncollapse them or delete their cookies.
