Signature forced to bottom (for postbit_legacy users)

One of the biggest problems with the postbit_legacy template is how signatures will float to the bottom of the post text. This leaves an ugly gap between the bottom of the table and the bottom of the post text, this issue is more noticable on boards that show alot of info in the user box on the left of the postbit.

My modification will force the signature to the bottom of the table, however now the hieght of the signature will cause a slight gap in the user info box on the left. I think it is a good trade off, as I don't allow large sig's on my board anyway.

I have included a screen shot of the modification working, it will also give you an idea of the gap I refered to.

Instructions are included in the attached .txt file, the modification requires 2 edits to the postbit_legacy template.

It is adding the space to the left area with the postbit info whne a sig is present.

I dont like this. Is there any alternate way?

Well I think I finally got it somewhat.
Here's what I finished with.
I also have "quickedit, mutiquote, and quickquote" so it is different from
the standard template even before the change.
I'll do a file comparison and try to get back and post directions.

OK I think the main thing is placing the "rowspan" in the right place.

I must have misread something somewhere, because after reviewing,
it's almost identical to what Sledgstone posted. ??

I made my own version of this one, and was going to post it as a mod when I discovered this thread.

You can try my version and see if it is better for you.

It is made on an unmodified postbit_legacy template

Can I offer praise and worship for this modification? That sig thing was driving me crazy. Thank you very much.

This is great, accept for it seems to create a line that goes right across the postbit_legacy underneath the message, is there a way I can get rid of this?

If you take off the cellspacing="1" for that table, it'll remove the line, but it will also take out the border for the entire postbit_legacy. I didn't care for it at first, but my members like it. O_o They say it helps distinguish whats the post and whats the signature.

Thank you! But I would like to keep the border in but not have the line below the message and above the sig, is there anyway to get round this?

does anyone know if this would work in 3.6.x?

I was looking at a few threads/posts about this yesterday but none of the mods succeed properly.

I'd appreciate is someone could release this mod for 3.6.x

I released this for 3.6.x in the following topic:
