Wider post profile

by Shenzy » Wed Mar 20, 2019 1:48 pm

Hello,
since my forum supports avatars with a width of up to 250px, I'm trying to make the post profile a bit wider. I've already found the value that controls the width of the post profiles, but then the post itself doesn't fit next to the profile anymore. The width of the posts should be controlled by the .postbody {[...] width: 76% [...]} value, but no matter what I change it to, it stays the same width. Is there any other value that needs to be changed?

postbody is for the post and postprofile is for the profile width. Use inspect element of your browser to make sure you make the changes where they suppose to be done.

I know, I've already figured out what needs to be changed. I can change the width of the postprofile without problems, but when I put different values into the postbody, it stays the same width and gets shifted to below the profile.

In what file did make the changes? are you sure responsive.css isn't overwriting your changes?

I changed the percentage values on postbody and postprofile in the content.css. I've looked at the responsive.css, but couldn't find anything that could be interfering with the changes.

Hello,
sorry for the very late reply, I was busy working on other stuff.
Unfortunately, the style isn't installed on my live board at the moment, because I wasn't able to customize it the way I wanted, which is why I can't provide you with a link.
However, I did find out something interesting. The problem with the .postbody width-value not doing anything appears to be present in most conventional prosilver-based styles (and even in prosilver itself). I've tried messing with the values in the inspect element console and even the demo boards displayed this behaviour, so it can't be a problem with my installation or extensions that I use.
Which makes me even more confused than before, because I can't find any other values that could be responsible for overriding the width of the postbody...

Have you looked into responsive.css ?

Oh man... I thought that I've already thoroughly looked through the responsive.css, but there it is, the root of my problem.

Code: Select all

@media (min-width: 700px) {
	.postbody { width: 70%; }
}

@media (min-width: 850px) {
	.postbody { width: 76%; }
}
These were overriding my width value.
Thanks so much for helping me find the solution!
