Seems to me all the mini buttions (dig, delicious, etc) are knocking things out of wack. Move them down to the next line. See if that helps.

thanks for the Help Danny but how do i do that? i do GFX only really, im just starting to learn to mod template features, ill poke around in there and see whats what (crosses fingers) lol

No expert here.. I've modded my postbit a bit though

try using a <br /> after the IP button that will forcefully put them on the next line.

What you may want to do is copy/paste the code for those buttons and put them above the user status and IP button as those aren't used much.

If you want to post your postbit template here.. I'll sort it out of ya.

i added that red <\br> and it dropped the icons down but its still screwed up somehow

There is no question that the length of the images in the user info side is breaking the user info side. However the problem is two fold.

On the post text side, the text and the width of it will affect the width of the two panels in post bit. This happens in the stock vB postbit legacy. You can test it with a long string like this...

http://www.example.com/klkjshfdkjhaqrgpjfnvaklnfdvpiuevojnevipre/kjfvpkqjervjinrevqjinrepvi/opehnvkljnfvlkajnfdklvjnaklfdjnva/kjhfklasjhdfklasjhdfkasdf/test.html

Notice on the left how narrow my user info is now?

I however have not explored a fix to this. I suppose a fixed width forced in the user info side <td> would be a good place to start.

^^ thats really wierd nopid lol

i noticed though, on the same thread on GS, a guy has 2 short posts that dont reach the edge --->

but it still is 2 different length horizontally on the postbit

and BTW the default VB template we have is fine, no problems like this

and i dont have any issues in firefox by the way on geekscore. i posted this for the creater of the template and he didnt know how to fix it.

Really? Can I get a link? I'd like to explore this more.

I have two forums, both of which are styled only. Not custom skins and like here, I get the same result.

The only changes I have are having added a couple of additional lines of userinfo data to display. If what you say is true, then there is work to do and I can get a clue as to how to proceed with your examples.

Thanks

For me, in both FF and IE, the postbit userinfo and post text box widths are consistent through the entire thread.

The plot thickens!

ugh, might be my browser here at work......i mean you see the screnshot up there.....lol.....STRANGE!

The member names in the screen shot do not match the user names in the linked thread.

the link and screenshots are different thread still same problem though.....

Did you get this problem fixed Caddyman? I'd be interested to know what the solution was.

no we havent and it seems its a browser thing. not sure how to break it down. anyway we might be changing the skin so this wont be an issue anymore.
