Really, really not important at all. Seriously.

Currently the Add Reply page looks like this:



Ideally, I think it should look like this:



I mean the bottom part. See how nice and lined-up it is? I know I fixed it at least twice in the past, but upgrading the MB among other things clobbers the changes and reverts it back to ugliness.

The code for that bottom part is currently something terrible like this.

If you take out the parts I highlighted in red and add in those two little tags in yellow, it'll look like my screenshot. It should be done easily from the templates. Actually much more easily than I had to do by hand, since you'll probably only have to change it in one place in the template and the MB will auto-change it multiple times per html document. Or whatever. I don't remember exactly what the templates look like, but it shouldn't be hard. At least not too hard.

Unless you like it the way it is now. In which case *leaves forever*

heh yes thats a good change. *goes to change*

hmm I seem to have lost my access to the admin control panel. how odd...

Very funny, doc. You sure had me.

It took me awhile, but I agree. That line is out of whack.

I spent five minutes trying to figure out what you meant, go me.

Yeah, fun.

What, the "Spell Check"?

Is this the way you want it? Because I'm not sure I found the right templates, so I don't want to bork up all 3 style sets.

No, that's not quite right. *looks at source code*

EDIT: You fixed it right for the very first table after the Topic Review thing, but there must be somewhere else to edit it to fix all the tables after that. Look for that stupid <!--spacer--> thing, that's mostly what you need to take out along with a <table> tag.

That spacer thing appears in dozens of templates.

Well that sucks then.

How's it look now?

better but the first reply is still seperate from the rest.

*surfs in randomly looking for vB report link*

And they said I was nitpicky. ;)

(No, I'm not back, I really just was trying to get the syntax for the report post link, and EoFF was the first board that came to mind since FG doesn't use the standard vB report... yeah, ignore me =P)

2 minutes and 37 seconds for me. *wins*

*looks at change*

Eww...now you have the first part lined up...but it's seperated from the rest, and they're not even lined up.

The problem is, you're closing one too many tags right after every item below the Topic Review bar. There's a </td></tr></table> after each one that doesn't belong.

Now?

Perfect now. You're my hero.

Yay.

*doesn't fix it in Quick Reply or Ed's*

Yeah, I don't use those ones, so don't bother fixing them.

Right.

So you don't mind if I put Dancing Unnes all over the Quick Reply template?

How about if you don't do that.

Put them please!

But you said you don't care, because you don't use it.

No I didn't.

How would you ever even know, anyways?

Because you'd tell me. Repeatedly. Like you did in this thread. But you're right, I'm going to pretend that there are no dancing Unne's anywhere in existence, and please don't shatter my ignorance.

la la la~ *whistles innocently*

I hate everybody.

<3

*makes a Dancing Unne style set on Fool's Gold*

Maybe you could fix the EoFF style set instead so that I don't have to refresh the page every time in order to fix the tables ;p

Wait, wait. Were you talking to me? Because I'd gladly take on that added responsibility. All you have to do is let me know. ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

No, I was talking to BOU, since he's an admin at FG :p

Wait, I'm confused. I thought you were referring to the EoFF style set HERE. Then what did you mean by "fix the tables"? I didn't know anything was wrong with them. :o

Eh, it's not so bad now; A couple of days ago, I had to refresh every page, or else the board would insert a random TD tag somewhere, offsetting every cell by one and breaking a bunch of links.

Now it only happens--sometimes--in showthread.

That's odd. It's never done that to me. What browser are you using?

Firebird, of course.

Yes, the tables do mess up quite often when I'm using Firebird.

I've never had table problems in Mozilla or Opera myself :p Must be the dodgy html in the templates doing it :p

It's only at FG. Aaron's fault, of course.

I'll check it out in Firebird when I have time to do so, then. For now just use Internet Exploder, Mozilla, or Opera, I guess =P

Not Explorer. Never explorer.

You should be using Lynx :p

Yeah who needs images. *rolleyes*

Hence my reference to it as "Exploder" ;)

I use it on my clean install of XPee because I can't be arsed to install any other browsers, but I do so grudgingly =P

It takes ten seconds to install a browser which does not suck rectum.

I still can't be arsed ;) *exceedingly lazy*

Sadly, Internet Explorer is also the only browser in which the arcade hack works properly. I hope futureal sorts that out eventually so I can say goodbye to Exploder forever =P

Eh, I actually have to use Explorer at school; the ISA server won't let requests out from Firebird.

How can a server block requests from a web browser?

I'll tell you after I take ISA server. Right now, the only MCP course I've even started is Windows 2000 Professional.
