Boxes around posbit information...

[iForum]

Can someone help me put a border and background around avatars and postbit information, exactly how it is on TeamXbox (and also center the username and user title)?

Colors and pixel width don't matter, so I guess it could just be a black border with a white background and any with for now. That, I can always edit later.

I know Colleen knows how to do it because she did something very similar for another forum of mine.

Can you just grab the code from your theme I did this for if I tell you where the code is?

I already tried it but the two problems is that it is not identical to TeamXbox (although I could try to fix that myself) and when I copied the postbit legacy it didn't show the boxes around the info.

It doesn't show because the css wasn't also copied. You need to copy that to the stylesheet, then go from there to do the centering, etc.

So if the div wrapped around that part has the class or id, say "postbit" for example, then you need to go to the stylesheet, very bottom where there's an extra textarea box and find the corresponding css and copy it over.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks, I got it.

But is there way to change the left and top of the border color from the right and bottom to give it that 3D look?

.postdetail div.smallfont div {
background: #fff;
margin: 2px 1px;
border: 1px solid  #5b5b5b;
padding: 3px;
font: 8pt verdana, tahoma, verdana, sans-serif;
}

Yep.

.postdetail div.smallfont div {
background: #fff;
margin: 2px 1px;
border-top: 1px solid  #000;
border-right: 1px solid  #000;
border-bottom: 1px solid  #999;
border-left: 1px solid  #999;
padding: 3px;
font: 8pt verdana, tahoma, verdana, sans-serif;
}

Just change the colors accordingly.

No problem.
