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.

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.

first.... great job! looks awesome! (but yah...too high)
second.... I think it got smushed cause your horital postbit has images that are too wide and forcing your legacy to smush. its being constrained by your whole thread wide (forumdisplay?).

ie: try reducing size of the purple and pink rank images.

Does anyone have vbPlaza installed and is running Hybrid Postbit as well? Our TechSupport went to install this today, but said he was concerned because it's editing/modifying/deleting stuff from vbPlaza ....
