Floating signatures

[irc]

Anyone find a way to force signatures and the "IP logged" text to the bottom of the message box? It looks strange on messages where there is little text.

You can use tables to do this... Just force the table cell with the actual post in it to be 100% in height.

Not very clean, well rather messy in fact but it works. You could probably use <DIV> tags as well the result would be cleaner code but the setup would be beyond a lot of people.

I can't seem to get the height thing to work. I divided the contents of the message cell into a table with two rows. I tried to force nearly element <table>, <td> and <tr> tags to be 100% in height and I couldn't get it to work.

you could try maybe

<div style="vertical-align: bottom;">IP Logged, Report</div> ?

Im really rusty on HTML now days ;\

If they were graphics, it would be a lot better.

I guess one of the Devs is messing with the CVS, {img}{/img} is broken.

Well, I found a solution

I couldn't get <div> tags to work, so I divided the message box into two cells. It's not very elegant because of the border floats in the middle between the two cells when the message is short. I tried to force the message cell to be 100%, but that property doesn't seem to work for cells.

Your opening td tag for the message table should be set with height='100%' and also the table. You could leave the sig table alone as that would be forced down then, it is what I did on my board.

I've tried that and I can't get it to work. Could I see your postbit template or get a link to your forum?

I never had an issue with it in 2.3.0 just as your board is. I can not get it to work in 3.0. I used the same setup as i had atleast the tables for the postbit, but they wont work....still floats.

Wayne any hints on the css?

I couldn't tell ya with vb3, I haven't had time to play with it yet, I didn't wanna spend any time messing with the templates with what was mentioned about the templates being redone or something.

I got another solution, but it is probably not what you are looking for.

You can just create a "Report" button like the one attached (and made by me ), and put it next to the "edit" one.

Then about the IP, you could put it like a link on the vB candle picture (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/images/on.gif), next to the "profile" button.

Nice font there, where can I get it?

[Mainer82]

Is there a way to do it so it's XHTML compliant?

Just define the table height in the CSS

table.postbit_message {
height: 100%;
}

<table class="postbit_message"

or something like that.
