How to make big titles like vB.org in threads?

[JohnBee]

I just noticed that vBulletin has huge honkin' titles in the view thread
area. How do I get this for my own site?

I took the same concept and made it a little bit neater, along with a 'linkback' thread link on the right as some people seem to find this useful. Tweak as required.

Demo here:
http://www.bowlandcentral.com/forum/...ad.php?t=28547

In template 'SHOWTHREAD' find:

<!-- / controls above postbits -->

Add above:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" align="left" width="93%"><span class="bigusername">$thread[title]</span>
</td><td class="vbmenu_control" align="right" width="7%" ><span class="smallfont">Thread&nbsp;<a title="Link To Thread" href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]" target="_blank"><u>$thread[threadid]</u></a></span></td></tr>
</table><br />

i got it srtipped down to this

<!-- test -->
<tr>
<td align="center" width="100%"><span class="bigusername" color="#FFFFFF">$thread[title]</span>
</td></tr>
<br>
<!-- /test -->

How do i make the text size bigger, and it's not centering.

This this I don't know if it will work but its worth a try, just save ur template
content before you do it so you can always revert back.

<!-- test -->
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style5 {
	font-size: 18px;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
-->
</style>

<tr>
<td align="center" width="100%"><div align="center"><span class="bigusername style5" color="#FFFFFF">$thread[title]</span>
</div></td></tr>
<div align="center"><br>
</div>
<!-- /test -->

I think it's because you haven't enclosed it in a table. You need the <table> tags from my earlier post.

Also, although hard-coding the color (#ffffff) will work if you only have one style, if you ever add a new style you may find this doesn't match, which is why it's better to use the normal CSS values. That way it will look right regardless of style.

If you just want one similar to the one in here, you could get away with this cheap 'n' dirty version:

<center><span class="bigusername"><b>$thread[title]</b></span></center>
