Tables in Opera

I don't recall what the settings are to get the vBulletin tables to all display the same width, but anyway. If after all the poster data, you inserted a line break and then the following code:

<img src="images/space.gif" height=1 width=165>

That'd mean that the poster column, instead of being a variable-width jumble, would display with a constant width under Opera. FF:WA inserted such a contraption recently into its template, and I put one in at Fool's Gold a long time ago, almost as soon as I started using Opera. Viewing those forums is now far more pleasing to the eye, in my view. If you're not convinced yet, I've attached a screenshot to show what happens currently.

Anyhow. If you feel like adding that to the template, I'd be happy, obviously.

Peace

Yeah that's the exact same problem I told you about Aaron. It's the reason I don't use Opera, but if that code or whatever were added I'd use it again. Thanks for bringing it up.:)

I like that variable width table thing in Opera, seems to be more space efficient or something to me :p

I've got used to it already, it doesn't bother me that much. :)

done. Sorry it took so long, I'm a lazy ass.

NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo xD Way too wide for my liking :p

At least it's still space efficient on the reply page :p

k, everybody agree on a width and then wake me up.

I suppose 2 avatar widths (120ish) would be fine :p

1 avatar width would be better, since then the spacer would have virtually no effect for posts by people with avatars :D

Then "Recognized Member" wouldn't fit on one line.

Hell, "Administrator" wouldn't fit on one line. You'd still have the tables misaligned on every single thread an admin posted in.

Cid's Knights, too. And people who use all 25 characters of their custom title.

I use Opera, and the table widths have been nice and even for a couple weeks now, ever since Aaron made this thread. So either someone already fixed it a long time ago, or they fixed the code in Opera beta 7 so that tables work right now.

I think it's Opera beta 7, yeah. I'm using version 6.

Personally, I think 165 is fine, that's what it's supposed to show up as. If it bothers people so much I suppose someone can make a new template where there are variable width tables in all browsers, but that'd be ugly ugly ugly, in my opinion.

In any case, thanks for changing it, Bleys. :)

Anybody object to trying 135 for a while and see if that's acceptable to everybody?

Will anyone even notice other than Opera users?

They would if I increased the width to 1650 instead of 165.

Actually, I'm pretty sure there's a difference. I'll have to check some screenshots once I'm home, but I'm sure the column would never be wider than the text saying the date and time each post was posted.

Nicer now, it is :p But I won't object if Loony BoB is right and they really were even narrower than they currently are :p

I think I notice the difference. I think narrower would be better.

Yes, a teensy bit off, even though this is also good. :)

I could be wrong.

I narrowed it to 135. Any objections, Opera users?

We are happy, isn't that right, everyone?

You can't please everyone at the same time, you know :p

I use a version of Opera where it's apparently fixed anyways, so maybe the fix isn't needed that much. How many people actually use Opera? 1% of the population?
