Hi all.

At the moment the forums have two lines per post. Top left is subject and bottom right is poster and info.
I was wondering if it is possible to modify the css to move these onto one like? It takes up too much vertical space on my forums.

Regards.

You need to modify the drawmsg.tmpl template to do this.

Actually I don't think I was clear on that. I meant in the topic lists, that's the thread and non threaded lists of topics. I think I need to edit thread.tmpl and threadt.tmpl.

For the non threaded I've just removed the DIV TopBy around the right hand info. On the threadt it's much harder as removing the div pulls the right hand info to be left aligned.

Ah yes, that's correct you need to edit thread.tmpl & threadt.tmpl for that. For threadt you may need to remove the BR or move the data all into the same div.

Moving the DIV caused the same problem of everything shifting to the left. And I can't find a BR Very Happy

If you <div> from the thread_row section it should put everything on the same line, UNLESS your browser window does not have enough room to fit it all on one line and wraps the text.

Again, this draws everything together making everything move to the left. For anyone intrested I had to do add a nowrap to the td around the right hand information.

Ah, joy. Something weird is now happening in IE, not Firefox.

IE appears to load about 500 items and you can see the count scroll away on the bottom left of your explorer. Is this a javascript png thing? It makes the page look like it's bloated with 500 images Smile

This is a know issue that will be fixed in the next release.

IE cannot render alpha-transparent PNG images properly. So, I used an activeX hack to make it work, which is DAMN slow with many images.
So, I added a different hack, that simply replaces PNG images with GIF alternatives for IE.

So can I just grep the code replace *.png with *.gif then replace the gifs? And if so what do I need to cut out to get rid of the hacks? 90% of my users use IE, I probably they only firefox users Smile

Thanks.

You could do that I suppose. You can get rid of the hack in the old code very easily. Simply open lib.js (forum's main web dir) go to the bottom of the file and remove the IE hack, it is clearly labeled.
