Support Forum

Having changed WP to a new theme, the User column in my Simple:Press forum is now centered instead of top. Good example is here: http://www.danbirlew.com/forum…..turismo-5/ Error persists across all skins, so it must be some common css. I tried looking through the css docs for the structure theme (which I'm using) and frankly, they look like gobbledegook to me. I also tried viewing the source and figured out that the user info is contained in a table, and the line of code is like this:

<table class="sfinnerusertable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr align="center">

This little bit of outdated HTML in the code instead of in the CSS is what's causing the user table to center instead of top out. So which file in the style or in Simple:Press's architecture would I find that bit of code?

Second, I'd like to change the line-height of post text so that smileys don't throw off the spacing as bad as they do. What is the css code for that, and which css file should it be in?

Okay, it looks like the theme creator actually predicted for this and included a user-override css that is blank. Into this css he told me to paste:

#sforum .sfposttable .sfuserinfoside  { vertical-align: top !important; }

and it worked like a charm. However, the posts are still collapsing starting with post #6 of the thread, as you'll see here: http://www.danbirlew.com/forum…..mo-5/#p577 Can you please tell me what other classes to include in the line above that would force all post boxes in a thread to top-align?

Also, please don't forget my second question:

Thanks!

Hi Mr. Papa. I managed to fix it yesterday afternoon by removing a few tr and td codes in the arras theme css as you suggested.  Doesn't appear to have thrown off any of the tables on my other static pages.

The problem may not be the line height, but the fact that custom smilies are aligning to the baseline (it seems) rather than the top or centered on the line.  This forces the next line of text to move down, creating extra space in the middle of a paragraph.

EDIT: As you can see, I threw some smilies into the paragraphs above, and they too caused the lines below them to space down farther.

EDIT 2: So I threw #sforum .sfposttable td.sfpostcontent p { line-height:200% !important; } into the user.css that overrides certain theme codes, and even at double-spacing the smilies are STILL throwing off the light spacing. Slightly now, of course, but still perceptibly. In looking at the source I notice that smileys don't have their own css class, they're treated just like other imgs. Perhaps assigning them a class that aligns them to the top of the line in the next update could solve the problem?
