another small prob

[Ally6]

I'm not sure where to look to solve this problem.

On a normal thread the type area width is changing depending on how long the persons name is.  It seems that the default measurements for the members details on the left of each post is now smaller, therefore those with long names are pushing their text area over.  i hope this makes sense lol, difficult to explain.  Id like all the text to be on the smae vertical line as you scroll down the page so i guess the question is where do i look to change the dimensions?

Not sure if this can be done. Table columns tend to get wider as defined if there is larger text without blanks.

It must be possible as this is how the Yabb Gold works, there is more available space on the left meaning that most peoples names fit in the space and the text lines up all the way down.  only occasionally does one name move it out of allignment.

Sure you can modify the sources such that the profile column is something wider. But then again, as soon as a name is to large the column will change the width.

yep i get that, it would just be nice to have most of the peoples names fitting, it makes the setup look more professional.  If u could give me details of where to look and the code (she says hopefully  ) id be a happy bunny.

Not 100 % sure if this is the right place to change it because I didn't test it but you can try it

Find in Display.php:

Code Select Expand

<td class="$css" bgcolor="$windowbg" valign="top" width="15%" rowspan="2">
            $usernamelink<br><font size="1">$title
            $memberinf<br>
EOT;
if($muserID != "-1") {
    //Messy crap - perhaps someone can alter this later
            $ptext=$userprofile[$mname]['personalText'];
            $ptext = str_replace ("&quot;", "\"", $ptext);
            $ptext = str_replace ("&#039;", "'", $ptext);
            $ptext = str_replace ("&amp;", "&", $ptext);
            $ptext = str_replace ("&lt;", "<", $ptext);
            $ptext = str_replace ("&gt;", ">", $ptext);
   print "            $star<br><BR>\n$online            ".$userprofile[$mname]['gender'];
   if (($sa[0] == 1) OR ($username == "Guest")) { print "\n            $postinfo\n           ".$userprofile[$mname]['avatar'].$ptext; }
   elseif ($sa[0] == 0) { print "\n            $postinfo\n           ".$ptext; }
   print "\n            {$userprofile[$mname]['ICQ']} $icq $msn $yim {$userprofile[$mname]['AIM']}<BR>\n";
}
if($muserID == '-1') {
   print "            <BR><a href=\"mailto:$memail\">$img[email_sm]</a>\n";
}else if ($userprofile[$mname]['hideEmail'] != "1" || $settings[7] == "Administrator" || $allow_hide_email != '1') {
   print "            $profbutton".$userprofile[$mname]['websiteUrl']." <a href=\"mailto:$memail\">$img[email_sm]</a>$sendm\n";
} else {
   print"    $profbutton{$userprofile[$mname]['websiteUrl']}$sendm \n";
}
print <<< EOT
         </font>
         </td>
            <td class="$css" bgcolor="$windowbg" valign="top" width="85%" height="100%">
There you can notice two cells, first has the width of 15 % and the second is 85 %. By changing these you can control the member info column and the post column. Try changing them to 20/80 for example.
