a tricky one !

[SetiSniper]

okay I hope U understand what I want here !!

I want a line (border line) between the posts !
i can do this with windowbg and windowbg3 but the I get lines in other places where I don't wanna have them !

if one look at a topic, every post starts with "Author name" what  I want is a line just above this !
now I can make a new windowbgX in my template but what I need to know more is which file that "makes" the topic looks so I can add this "bg".

any help ??

cheers

Sorry I don't quite understand the question, but I'm pretty sure Display.php is what you're looking for!

Open up Display.php and look for this:

Code Select Expand

      # Print the post and user info for the poster.
      echo '
         <tr>
            <td>
               <a name="msg' . $mid . '"></a>
               <table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
                  <tr>
                     <td bgcolor="' . $windowbg . '" class="' . $css . '">
                        <table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" class="' . $css . '" bgcolor="' . $windowbg . '">
                           <tr>
                              <td class="' . $css . '" bgcolor="' . $windowbg . '" valign="top" width="15%" rowspan="2">
                                 ' . $userinfo . '


Where you see $userinfo is the whole left hand side of the post with the name, avatar, post count, im, etc.

If you put in a new row above <tr> there, that should give you what you need.  You could try throwing an <hr> in there:

Code Select Expand

   # Print the post and user info for the poster.
      echo '
         <tr>
            <td>
               <a name="msg' . $mid . '"></a>
               <table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
                  <tr>
                     <td bgcolor="' . $windowbg . '" class="' . $css . '">
                        <table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" class="' . $css . '" bgcolor="' . $windowbg . '">
            <tr><td><hr></td></tr>               <tr>
                              <td class="' . $css . '" bgcolor="' . $windowbg . '" valign="top" width="15%" rowspan="2">
                                 ' . $userinfo . '
and see what that does. You could also insert a spacer.gif or somekind of background image that's only 1 or 2 pixels high.
