Hybrid postbit

Hybrid postbit

Function

Both the legacy and the classic postbit have their advantages. So why not combine them. The legacy itself sometimes seems to big with smaller posts.

This is how the hybrid postbit might look like.

Curious if anyone can tell what I need to do to keep my vertical part of the postbit from squishing up, what I need to adjust or add to keep it set at the width it's supposed to be.

It's too narrow now and making the text in the info below wrap and the whole thing stretch down, which defeats the purpose of me adding the hybrid mode; to reduce the vertical length of the side heh. For example; the age and gender used to be on the same line.

Installed, this is quite nice.

You can use it in your first post as a live demo if you want.
