Default How do I set align=center to be the default value in threads???

Hi all

Is there a way to make text always centered in posts (ii.e. the default setting)?
Users may, of course, opt to override this, if they wish to do so.

Thanx-n-advance

I really really really wouldn't do it if I were you...

But if you must:

Go to the postbit(_legacy) template (Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Postbit templates)

Look for <!-- message -->

Underneath it you will see a <div opening tag add to it: style="text-align:center;"

Although I wouldn't recommend it to be honest because it will not only ruin the look of the site it will seriously reduce the readability of the text (I would never bother reading a post if the text is all center aligned)

Dear Opserty, do you know that you just made my day I appreciate your genuine concern, but the script I need to center-align is non-English and centering gives it a more professional look. Thank you, thank you, thank you I'll try your suggestion and post you back with the results. Best -- falconking

Hmmmmmmmmmmm It didn't do the trick. Any other suggestion???

Do you have a link? (To the page where you want the stuff to be centered)

Just so I know we are thinking about the same thing.

C'mon, folks........ I don't think centering posts by default is impossible. If the default justification is 'left' in English (and 'right' in Arabic), there must be a way to change that to 'center' instead, and I have seen it done in some forums. My question is: which template(s) need(s) to be changed to reflect text centering?

Go to the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template look for
Code:
<td class="alt1Active" id="f2" align="right">
(The bit in red I do not remember off the top of my head so it might not be 'right' maybe $stylevar[textdir] or something) But change the stuff in red to 'center' and hopefully it will be centered
