User info collapsable table on left side of postbit_legacy

******* User info collapse on postbit_legacy v.9 **********


I had a number of users complaining about how much "white space" there was on posts where the person had only entered 1 line of text because of the size of the user information below the username on the left hand side.

This hack puts the user information (online/offline status, location, post count, join date, etc) in the postbit_legacy template (only works if you are using the legacy postbit) into a collapsable table like many of the other collapsable tables in vB3. Users can collapse/expand this information at will while viewing a thread and the status is saved in the cookie.

This is the very first javascript code I've ever written so go easy on me .

Please click on install if you use this hack!

Does this collpase all or just the ones you choose ?

It collapses all. You can see it here if you want - http://www.turbodieselregister.com/f...d.php?t=105948 . Just click on the up arrow below any of the names. It does it on the fly so you can switch back and forth at any time.

Does this remember which threads have it collapsed, or does it remember at all if you have it collapsed or do you need to set it each time?

They are collapsed or uncollapsed for all threads. Once you change it, it's that way for everything until you change it back.
