Mini Mods - Vb3 Signature Style For Vb4

Vb3 Signature Style For Vb4 "UPDATED" To Work With VB4.1.9
Please Mark As Installed And Give A Good Rating If You Like
Thanks.

As most of us know the huge gap between the content and the signature in our threads/posts can be annoying and ugly.
Well hear is a simple solution and should work for all versions of Vb4.
Remember i said should above.
Brought to you by Teen Forums.

This has been tested and works for the latest version of VB4.1.9 using IE8 and FF3. Im sorry if this doesn't work with other browsers...but there's no reason why it shouldn't work.
But i would love to hear hopefully good feedback saying this does work with other browsers :erm:

And finally i am back using VB4 as i converted back to VB3 after whipping up this Mini Mod and fled.

Whats New In This Update
1st off, i had to change this to a Beta as im not %100 confident that this Mod will work on the many different VB4 styles around the net. But PLEASE post in (fingers crossed) that this works for you.

Ok so, whats new is, you can now set your signature to any height, high/low to suit your needs/boards by just editing the margin-top: in px.

Whats Fixed
Big gaps that some members were still reporting.
A scroll-bar appearing in a post after using emoticon on its own line.
Codes not conflicting with other codes. (Beta)

What I Haven't Fixed Yet
The line width above the Signature (Sorry Guys).

Installations In Detail
1. Go to you AdminCp>>Styles & Templates>>Style Manager and, from the drop down menu chose "Edit Templates".
Scroll down to: CSS Templates and double click.
Find postbit.css and double click.

2. In your postbit.css template...
Find:

/*signature */
.signature {
        padding-top: 1em;
	border-top: {vb:stylevar signature_border};
        margin-top: 2em;
}

And remove it.
Click Save.

3. While still in CSS Templates section, scroll back up to your additional.css template and double click.

4. In your additional.css template...
Add this code:

.postbitlegacy .after_content {
clear:none !important;
margin-top:-60px !important;
}

.signature {
border-top: {vb:stylevar signature_border};
}

Click Save.

Now as you can see in the above code in RED -60px.
Change how High or Low you would like your Signature.

If your Signature is to High in your threads/posts, you would simply change -60px to say -30px.
If you would like to have your Signature back to normal, you would remove the "-" and set to "0px" so then it would look like normal Vbulletin Default.

If you want your Signature Very low you would set to 20px.
Ie:
-30px is Up.
30px is Down.

I will leave the old Text Document for you to download if need be.
I have uploaded a new Text Document for VB4.1.9, download for safe keeping.

Feel free To check out The: DEMO

I really hope this is MUCH better than the old Mod. And please let me know if everything works ok for you all so i can remove from beta, Thanks.
Cheers.

you mean you want a little more space? if so,
try changing in the code: padding-bottom:0 set it to like 20, mess with it a bit mate.
eg: padding-bottom:20

i guess you could open postbit_legacy,
find:

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_signature_start}

just for a quick fix as its late here, add above that code:

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

you can add on to the <br /> add or remove to set where you want your siggy.
you can use other space codes but thats all i can think of at the moment sorry, just tied
i'll have a look in the morning if thats no help.

thats strange as i just tested again with another style, thats 6 different styles all up this is working on. 4.0.2 to 4.0.5 styles.

you just simply added the code to additional.css?
im guessing you did but, just thought i'd ask.

EDIT: just signed up to your forum and the signatures looks ok, you using FF or IE mate?
