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*

[eestlinc]

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

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

[Del Murder]

Very funny, doc. You sure had me.

[Leeza]

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

[Loony BoB]

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

Yeah, fun.

[Nait]

What, the "Spell Check"?

[Citizen Bleys]

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.

[Dr Unne]

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.

[Citizen Bleys]

That spacer thing appears in dozens of templates.

[Dr Unne]

Well that sucks then.

[Citizen Bleys]

How's it look now?

[eestlinc]

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

[The Man]

*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.

[Dr Unne]

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.
