Postbit, but where?

I know I need to edit the postbit for this, but I can't find where, and don't know what to change it to!! lol

How do I move the staff rank from it's current position (see attached) so that it's aligned to the right (so, above "2004" rather than "Join Date"). Or perhaps even better, so that it is centred above that text.....

Thanks in advance!! :)

anyone able to help me with this? :)

OK I'll take a shot...put <center> </center> around the rank code. I don't know if it works or not because my rank badges are directly under the usernames on my board.

No No No, no <center> tags in vB!

The post bit there is a table. Move the badge out of the existing <td> and leave the balnk <td> behind and move the badge code into a <td> on the left.

I have found the table for the new postbit to be a royal pain in the...Well, you get it. I hope.

See, I tried. :p

See, I tried. :p

hehe, <center> tags will work. But, we should strive to be 100% XHTML compatable.

However, in this case, a centering of the bagde won't pull it over far enough because the table just don't go that far over for it to work.

I honestly don't use the vB 3.x postbit because it gets all top heavy (too tall) adding elements properly.

thanks Noppid, but i'm hoping i can get it to be moved to the RIGHT, not left, as shown below.

perhaps an alignment within the same <td> is needed?

OH, well that's different. :p

Can you post the code for that block?

basically i'm hoping to get the right edge of the staff logo to be above the "4" of the joining date year.

i think this covers it (if not i'll post the whole postbit template!! lol).....

I would put this
<if condition="$post['isstaffrank']">
<div class="smallfont">

As this
<if condition="$post['isstaffrank']">
<div class="smallfont" align="right">

Not tested...


<div class="smallfont" align="right">
<if condition="$post['staffrank_opentag']">$post[staffrank_opentag]</if>
<if condition="$post['staffrank']">$post[staffrank]</if>
<if condition="$post['staffrank_closetag']">$post[staffrank_closetag]</if>
</div>


I dunno what $post[staffrank_opentag] outputs, so my edit may not work if it's yet another <div> tag and has it's own alignment settings.

I suggest you do a view source of the page in your browser and look at that piece of code and see what is being output for that block of code.

thanks both...... will tinker with it later :)

well, i opted to try Hell's plan first, and it worked a treat :)

for the record, i also tried align="center" which worked to make it centred above the join date.

thanks again!
