Lack of interest [Suggestion] Postbit Information / Signature

[Sir nick]

Hello guys.




The postbit goes on but the signature starts at the avatar. Could it start right around the homepage area? What I'm saying is to bring it down if the postbit information is enabled.

I know some CSS, trust me, what you're proposing creates more problems than you're trying to solve.

The only problem I've seen is with cross-browser compatibility, unless I haven't seen something?

this was something i always had to fix in vb.
the sig looks terrible when it floats toward the top. id love it to be fixed to the bottom as well.

I think I agree with this statement. At times, CSS alters another variable. That has been my [minuscule] experience.

Bump; Support.

If you wish to flip it to a table to get this functionality, you could. Maybe it could be done with display:table(-row/cell) with the current CSS, I'm not sure. Mock ups are all well and good, but the technicalities of actually achieving this are really quite annoying, especially given how simple it is to describe.

Min-height is great if your left column is always the same height, or if you make a custom style for one site. However when you're writing CSS for thousands of users, your min-height will only cause problems for a lot of those users. That's why I said it creates more problems than it solves.

Will not work if someone doesn't fill out all the fields that are showed on the left.

Yeah I forgot about that one, so the user info would need a min-height too. Which isn't pretty if it's 50% empty.

Min-height doesn't really fix the problem. Even if your left column is 300px every time, you don't know the height of the text or the height of the signature. If, using this example, you did a min-height of 300px and someone had a one line post with a 300px high signature, you would have a large blank space after the message. However, to not stretch the page, the signature should've been immediately after.

I like the look of the mockup that was posted. Hopefully there's some (relatively) clean way to achieve it. I think allowing admins to decide what goes into the postbit easily is a pretty awesome feature.
